The nature of the Mormon deity
(This was first posted here)
Our Father in heaven is a personage of tabernacle, just as much as I am who stand before you to-day, and he has all the parts and passions of a perfect man, and his body is composed of flesh and bones, but not of blood--Brigham Young (qtd. in We Believe: Doctrines and Principles of the CoJCoLDS)
God Himself is an exalted man, perfected, enthroned, and supreme. By His
Almighty power He organized the earth, and all that it contains, from spirit
and element, which exist co-eternally with Himself.--Joseph F. Smith, John R Winder, Anthon Lund (qtd. in We Believe: Doctrines and Principles of the
CoJCoLDS)
[We] know that both the Father and the Son are in form and stature perfect men; each of them possesses a tangible body, infinitely pure and perfect and attended by transcendent glory, nevertheless a body of flesh and bones--James E. Talmage (qtd. in We Believe: Doctrines and Principles of the CoJCoLDS)
