President Brigham Young; Remarks were delivered on the Public Square, Great Salt Lake City; July 8, 1863.

We believe in God the Father and in Jesus Christ our elder brother. We believe that God is a person of tabernacle, possessing in an infinitely higher degree all the perfections and qualifications of his mortal children. We believe that he made Adam after his own image and likeness, as Moses testifies; and in this belief we differ from the professedly Christian world, who declare that "His center is everywhere, but his circumference is nowhere." Their God has no body nor parts; our God possesses a body and parts, and was heard by Adam and Eve "Walking in the garden in the cool of the day."

    Two points of false doctrine:

    Jesus Christ is NOT our elder brother. He is the ONLY Begotten of the Father [whose name alone is JEHOVAH - Psalm 83:18]. Everyone else in The Church of Jesus Christ is ADOPTED into the family of God thru Jesus Christ only.

    It was the pre-mortal Personage of Jesus Christ ONLY who was "walking in the garden in the cool of the day." (Gen.3:8). God the Eternal Father (JEHOVAH) does not, never has, and never will, move off of or away from his glorious and "great white throne" (Rev.20:11).
