King Follett (1 of 5)

The King Follett discourse is an address delivered by Joseph Smith, Jr., Founder of the Mormon Church, on April 7, 1844, in Nauvoo, Illinois, less than three months before his assassination.

The discourse was presented to a group of more than ten thousand people at a general conference held shortly after the funeral service of Elder King Follett, who had died on March 9, 1844 of accidental injuries.

The sermon is best known for describing the character of God, how God became God, and the need for each human being to become a God as well.

The following is a dramatization based upon four seperate accounts of the address.

[IExposeMormonism]

@standsresolute Follet is the foundation of Adam=God Doctrine. Most Mormons denounce it. As did Orson Pratt. I posted Mormon evidences for the historicity of Adam God. Yet still Mormons denounce it. I say Mormonism is in apostasy to itself. No Adam God and no polygamy, the very "Restoration" JS sought to establish.

I have studied many religious and secular philosophies and cannot find a more reasoned and sublime principle of the universe than the idea that God has himself a God above him, and that we can be like him in all things. From what I understand from Joseph Smith, to have His attributes, we should be perfectly humble, teachable and full of charity and love for one another and God. This is an opposing view to how mankind perceives power and control by force, coercion and pride.
