How could this doctrine be stated plainer? This is the doctrine taught by the Savior to the Jews, by David in his psalms and by others of the prophets. Here it is stated emphatically that they who are of the Church of the Firstborn (i. e., those who keep the whole law) even "_as it is written, they are gods_, even the sons of God!" Where is it written? In this section; and in the words of the Savior wherein He says, referring to David's Psalm, "_the Scriptures cannot be broken_" (John 10:34-36). Doesn't this teach plainly the doctrine of plurality of Gods? Does it not teach the fact that the children shall, through obedience, sometime obtain the exaltation of the Gods themselves? If not what does it mean? Even a Reorganite dare not argue that these are the heathen gods! Now, if they overcome _all things, then_ there _are not some things_ that they do not overcome. If these are to receive "of His fulnesss and of His glory, and if into their 'hands the Father has _given all things_, then the Father _has not withheld_ some of the fulnesss of His glory, or _some things_. And if they receive His fulnesss and His glory, and if _all things_ are theirs, whether life or death, or things present, or things to come, _all are theirs_," how can they receive these blessings and not become Gods? They cannot. Yet this is doctrine received by the Church and taught by Joseph Smith the Seer. Speaking of this same subject in the revelation on Priesthood (Sec. 84:35-40. Reorganite edition, 83:6) the Lord says: "And also all they who receive this priesthood receiveth me, saith the Lord, for he that receiveth my servants receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth my Father, and he that receiveth my Father receiveth my Father's kingdom. Therefore, _all that my Father hath_ shall be given unto him; and this is according to the oath and covenant which belongeth to the priesthood.[1] Therefore, all those who receiveth the priesthood receiveth this oath and covenant of my Father, _which He cannot break, neither can it be moved_; but whoso breaketh this covenant, after he hath received it, and altogether turneth therefrom, shall not have forgiveness of sins in this world nor in the world to come." Here again we are given to understand that those who are faithful in obtaining the priesthood and magnifying their calling that they become of the Church of the Firstborn, receiving ALL THAT THE FATHER HATH! and this according to an oath and covenant that cannot be broken. Now, again, how are they to receive _all that the Father hath_, if something is withheld? And if something is not withheld, how can they receive all that He hath and not become as He is, that is, Gods themselves? Here is another revelation given to the Prophet December 27, 1832. This is section 88 and verses 106-7 (Reorganite edition, 85:33):
