Mormonism is continually changing it's own history and re-writing it's doctrine. As times change, old things taught are no longer taught - such as the fact that the Mormon God lives on a planet called Kolob. When Gordon B. Hinckley was asked about the Man / God / God / Man doctrine taught for over a hundred years, he stated, "I don't know that we teach that." This topic covers doctrines that have been purposefully "forgotten".

| | Well, it happened again. One child was looking through the hymnbook. She stopped on "If You Could Hie to Kolob," and said, "I love this music."
I said, "Yes, the music is beautiful, but the words are so boring."
"What IS Kolob, anyway?" she asked.
"WHAT?!!!" I said. "You don't know what Kolob is?"
Son was standing there also....I asked him, "Have you studied about Kolob in any of your classes?"
"No...never heard of it," he said.
"You have never heard that Kolob is the greatest star...the one closest to the throne of God---the one that directs the time differential between our planet and God's time?"
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" they both said, and started laughing their heads off.
So, I found the scripture in Abraham (that nice little piece of funeral poetry) and read them the passages.
So.......what is the point of going to church if they don't teach anything there. And what is the point of the mormon church if they have stopped teaching anything that differentiates them from other churches. It's a little telling, I think.
