It is interesting to me to see how the LDS invent their doctrine. Only a few people know that many LDS General Authorities questioned the King Follett doctrine in the early 20th century and did not allow it to be printed by B.H. Roberts in his “History of the Church.” Some of them thought it conflicted with other doctrines found in the Bible:

Favorite quote from KFD…

A question may be asked—“Will mothers have their children in eternity?” Yes! Yes! Mothers, you shall have your children; for they shall have eternal life, for their debt is paid. There is no damnation awaiting them for they are in the spirit. But as the child dies, so shall it rise from the dead, and be for ever living in the learning of God. It will never grow [in the grave]; it will still be the child, in the same precise form [when it rises] as it appeared before it died out of its mother’s arms, but possessing all the intelligence of a God. Children dwell in the mansions of glory and exercise power, but appear in the same form as when on earth. Eternity is full of thrones, upon which dwell thousands of children, reigning on thrones of glory, with not one cubit added to their stature.
 
“Roberts wants to prove that man then is co-equal with God”

Mans continuing dilemma.
