Elder Bruce R. McConkie (deceased) said:
There is no salvation in worshiping a false god—neither a cow; nor a crocodile; nor a cedar post; nor even a spirit essence, without body parts or passions, that fills the immensity of space.
True believers worship that Holy Being who made heaven and earth, and the sea and the fountains of waters.” (Revelation 14:7.)
He is the Father of spirits with whom we dwelt before the foundations of the earth were laid. He is our Father in Heaven, who ordained and established a plan of salvation by which his spirit children might advance and progress and become like him.
He is a Holy Man, a personage of tabernacle, having a body of flesh and he created mortal man in his own image, “male and female created he them.” (Genesis 1:27.)
He is a glorified and exalted being in whom all fullness and perfection dwell, who knows all things and has all power, all might and all dominion. ~Elder Bruce R. McConkie of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles (Ensign, November 1984, p. 82.)
