Mormon Doctrine of Deity (The Roberts-van Der Donckt Discussion)

Therefore, ... it pleased the Lord in these last days to open again direct communication with men, by a new dispensation of the gospel, it is not surprising that the very first revelation given was one that revealed himself and his Son Jesus Christ. A revelation which not only made known the being of God, but the kind of a being he is." — B. H. ROBERTS — The complete original text of Elder B. H.
