Your twisting of their meaning is a far cry from what they said. Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of God in the flesh. That is LDS doctrine, plain and simple.

Want to “explain” the meaning of this one ???

“Mormons differ from other Christians in our literal belief that we are begotten of God spiritually and that Christ was begotten of him physically. Paul says in Acts that we are God’s offspring (17:28-29). We believe that our spiritual conception was sexual just as we believe that Christ’s mortal conception was. Elucidating the latter, James E. Talmage says, “That child to be born of Mary was begotten of Elohim the Eternal Father, not in violation of natural law, but in accordance with a higher manifestation thereof” (1986, 81).” (Robert A. Rees, Bishop of the Los Angeles First Ward in a sacrament meeting talk on April 29th, 1990, entitled “Bearing Our Crosses Gracefully: Sex and the Single Mormon.”)

Who cares. He’s a bishop, there are literarily tens of thousands of them. They do not set doctrine for the church. Care to show me a doctrinal statement when we don’t believe Christ is the only begotten son of God in the flesh?
