Huh? If henotheism means believing there are many gods but worshipping only one (or in the Mormon case I guess, 2?) then it applies.

That is not LDS doctrine. The LDS Church does not claim that there are NO other gods that exist other than the God of Abraham. But it DOES claim that God the Father claims he is the only God for us. Period. There are no others.

It is theory that God the Father may have a Father just as his Son has a Father.

From the Book of Mormon:

>And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen.

Does that sound similar to your view on God?

The LDS doctrine is not that there are any gods other than the Father.
