Joseph Smith teaches that God lived on another earth, was born, lived, died, and was resurrected — just like Jesus — before becoming God.
Continuation of the King Follett Sermon quote, extending the doctrine that God was once a man by drawing an explicit parallel with the life of Jesus.
Smith teaches that God 'dwelt on an earth the same as Jesus Christ himself did.' Knowing the character of God — that he was once a man — is declared a 'first principle of the gospel.' This is framed as essential, core doctrine, not optional belief.
