If I may and thank you. I pray I answer this question. John 1:1-5. Verse two most especially. 2. The same was in the beginning with God. I look at this scripture and I praise God for my ignorance because this scripture fills me with joy. I have a theory and it coincides with what you all have shared. What I gather from this is; verse one advises us on Jesus Christ, the Firstborn, the Lamb, as well as the Gospel. They were with God. And Jesus was God. We Saints believe in the living Gospel after all. Verse two then says the same was in the beginning with God. The Church teaches us that The light of Christ is sometimes called the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ, or the Light of Life. It comes from Heavenly Father. DC 88:12 - Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space I think Heavenly Father was ordained and endowed with the Light of Life before his Heavenly throne like when He ordained Jesus. Look at verse two. We are told we are heirs of Christ. Heirs of the Kingdom of Heaven and that we could go all the way to the Celestial kingdom. Verse two connects the dots. I feel it loop's. Don't you think? Heavenly Father was a lamb of God before his Son for his Eternal Heavenly Father. Way before Jesus Christ ever was. Look at the scriptures. Jesus was ordained, given, keys, governs, creates and loves us as He see's His Father do. His inheritance was to become our Eternal Father, our Almighty God. "When was there ever a Son without a Father" some of you have quoted. I think the Gospel, the Light of Life is passed from every Eternal Father to every firstborn son. A continual royal line. Jesus Christ was ordained a Great High Priest before the foundation of the earth, receiving all the keys of the Kingdom; Jesus was ordained with the Light of Life to govern the Kingdom of Heaven. So it was for Almighty God, and his Father, so on and so forth as far as it goes. If we keep Almighty God's commandments, keeping our oathes and covenants we'll receive of his fullness which is truth and light. Doing so we become heirs in Christ. So it was for the spirit of truth. There was never a God without the spirit of truth. There was never a God without the light of life. Its said Intelligence, or the spirit of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be. John 1:5 - And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. Darkness can't comprehend this concept. Every man whose spirit receiveth not the spirit of truth(Jesus Christ, intelligence, or rather the wisdom of God)is under condemnation. Jesus Christ does nothing of himself. Exaltation relies on both the reception of light(power) and truth(Intelligence). Without light a fullness of truth one can never have. Lorenzo Snow received this revelation "As man is now, God once was; as God is now man may be." A revelation while on a mission in England. In getting back to the States He told the Prophet Joseph Smith and a year later it blossomed into the King Follett Discourse we all love and adore. Our agency is to accept or reject the light and truth. however, its not enough. The things we must do are called works To continually grow with the light of life, and the spirit of Truth we must work in order to increase our intelligence, grace to grace. This is wisdom of God's. We Saints, who have taken on the Abrahamic Covenant, our Baptismal Covenant, Oath and Covenant of the priesthood, Endowments, the Law of Consecration, the Law of Sacrifice, and the Law of the Gospel have been taught to never to be weary of good works. We can let our light shine so the Godhead, or rather Eloheim, may see our good works.
