“Prophet” Gordon B. Hinckley once answered a reporter from Time Magazine, August 4, 1997:

“On whether his church still holds that God the Father was once a man, [Hinckley] sounded uncertain, `I don’t know that we teach it. I don’t know that we emphasize it… I understand the philosophical background behind it, but I don’t know a lot about it, and I don’t think others know a lot about it.’” [emphasis added]

Mormons are divesting themselves of previous non-Christian teachings.  However, do we need an exclusive prophet to tell us that God-who-was-once-a-man is now just the same God the Christians have been worshiping all along?  Does that make any sense at all?
