... and as I was on the first page of the thread the thought came to me that a great source to read for this is Lectures on Faith. Then on page two I saw that AA had referenced it partially. I think LoF does a great job explaining why God is God and why we need a savior and how our faith fits in the whole process. The LoF, BTW, used to be part of the D&C. The sections we have in the D&C were consedered the "Covenants" portion of the Doctrine and Covenants, whereas the LoF was considered the "doctrine" portion. Hence, the title"Doctrine & Covenants". But nearly 100 years ago the LoF was removed unceremonously. Yes, yes, I am familiar with the claims that it was never meant to be considered as cannonized scripture, but that is more of an apologetic hind-sight response to why it was actually removed. Prior to its removeal, the LoF was considered very authoritative.
