At the very foundation of our beliefs is that we have a living prophet. We believe that Joseph smith was the first modern prophet and that we have had a living prophet and 12 apostles since that time. They have the ability to recieve revelation just as the prophets of old. One of the greatest peices of modern revelation is called The Family: A Proclamation To The World. The second paragraph of this revelation says: "ALL HUMAN BEINGS—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose." (emphasis added) This is one source of Modern Revelation that reveals to the world that we have Heavenly Parents, a mother and a father.
