    Ezra Pax got a reaction from MrShorty in Do lds people pray to Christ?   
    Very cool. Yes I would not advocate any kind of Marcionism or setting Jesus at odds with the Father.
    In scripture it is hard to miss the fact that the Father (Ahman) is in the background. Maybe disputable but in my Hebrew course we learned that in the Old Testament every reference to Elohim and Jehovah is referring to the same deity, Jesus. In the Book of Mormon Jesus Christ is the Eternal God and very much takes center-stage as the salient hero and God of the Book. I think the same of the D&C, Jesus is the one receiving petitions, answering questions, forgiving sins, granting blessings, and judging eternal destinies. The Father is there but in all of scripture I see that Jesus has the Preeminence in all things. 
    I am just working through my thoughts on this.
