...however, we only worship the god of Abraham, and of Issac and of Jacob, he is our God.

Delf, there's FOUR Book of Mormon verses that explicitly talk about worshipping Jesus. (Do I need to trot them out for you?) That doesn't include the many verses in the Bible that explicitly discusses the same thing.

Bruce R. McConkie, LDS apostle, recognized this as well: “The Father and the Son are the objects of all true worship...No one can worship the Father without worshipping the Son… It is proper to worship the Father, in the name of the Son, and also to worship the Son.” (McConkie, MD, p. 848)

So, again, how many "gods" do you worship?

That is a logical conclusion, but it is not "doctrine". The conclusion is based on the promise in the bible that we can become heirs to the kingdom then it is logical that God may have inherited the kingdome the same way, but it's just a theory.

So do Lorenzo Snow couplet "theories" galore get published (along with Smith 1844 funeral sermons), commonly get placed in all the major basic theology publications of the LDS church? BYU prof Stephen Robinson, in his book, HOW WIDE THE DIVIDE, conceded this was official LDS doctrine...just not canonized.

That's because, the Bible says so... Romans 8:16-17. if you are an heir to the kingdom of God...

So an "heir" = godhood, eh? Then, since God created Hell and since He is leaving this piece of "real estate" to his "heirs", Lucifer & his demons (& Hitler & many others)...I guess Lucifer, demons, Hitler, etc. also are "gods" according to your definition of "heir," eh?

so? It's not my job to teach you, especially when it's obvious you really don't want to learn anyway. (My perception)

One, the godhead is One God consisting of three beings.

Sure, we also publish fiction, and stuff for other churches, so?

See, again you run in circles chasing a carrot of your own manufacture. No one who reads your posts thinks you are here for "education".

Those who are saved are heirs to the kingdom. Those who are not saved are not, they do not keep their estate because they cannot return Lucifer for example is not going to be saved.
