Ah, but he saw Jesus didn't he? Standing right there on the right hand of God, the two of them looking down at Stephen. Perhaps this is not the best reference for you to use ina settign like this, unless you want to discuss the trinity belief vs. the LDS belief of a separate Father and Son.

Your bringing up the Nephite example is kind of weird, considering your initial assertion is that we wouldn't respect anyone who prayed to Jesus.

The Nephites were practicing the law of Moses, and prayed to God. Jesus was a fulfillment of that law, and his appearing unto them the way He did was indeed in Godlike form. He didn't walk among them as a man like he did in Jerusalem. Of course they would pray to him, he was their God. He is also my God.

You and other LDS are the ones hung up on the Body issue, despite Jesus' clear teaching that "God is spirit" (John 4:24). The fact that Stephen could see both Father and Son together has never been an issue to the historic Christian church. It's only an issue to folks whose founder is famous for his "strange God anyhow" statement as he probably tried to imagine the Father's head stuck onto Jesus' neck with each operating a limb...etc.

Since the Father has no physical body, yet can manifest Himself, there's no issue at all of two manifestations, who are still one. I am one with my wife. We're still two manifestations. So what?
