Not needed so not revealed to me, yes and yes, to answer your questions.

Does it matter? And what is this line business anyway God is the ultimate authority as far as we are concerned.

No, I’m saying he was in a rapid fire interview, and being older, was wise enough not to try to answer deep one liner questions there, kind of like here, getting into deep doctrine, people will edit your words and send them out twisted if you are not careful.
Then I can state categorically tht you and I do not believe in the same God. Period. I do not worship Allah, the God of the Muslims and I do not worship the Mormon god who lives on Kolob.
My God bows to no other god. There are no other Gods (anywhere) than YHVH.

Amen!
Are you trying to say that since soldiers have authority doled out to them through their immediate commanding officer [we all know how the military is known for its sharp adherence to a chain of command] that such an immediate commanding officer is that soldier's "ultimate authority?" I thought the "commander-in-chief"--who in turn answers to God, Himself--one of these would be deemed as the "ultimate" authorities.
So why is it any soldier knows where the buck stops, but in your spiritual warfare where we're supposed to be a soldier of Christ (Paul's analogy), you pretend commanders in chief are irrelevant to your role.
I can think of one of those movie lines where a new boot camp recruitee would be told by his seargant something to the effect of "While you're here, I will be your momma and your daddy!! In short, I will be your god."
Yet you seem to claim that just because an immediate commanding officer is the only supervisor--the only authority he reports to in this chain of command--that just because he's the only "god" in that young soldier's new universe, that somehow making the claim "Well, he's the only god with which we have to do" gets you off the hook of being under the authority of other commands further up the chain.
Furthermore, it shows extreme shortsightedness that you don't know the ultimate spirit to whom Joseph Smith was reporting to. Somehow you reduce the LDS version of Elohim to be the "ultimate" authority when you know full well he's not. The key question to ask is, "what spirit" (if any) appeared to Joe Smith? Was it an "angel of light" masquerading under another identity? [Gal 1:8-9] And what spirit entity was really behind the scenes?
