I can trace my roots all the way back to the founding of the church, and my ancestors were pioneers that came to Utah.
Every time I hear someone talking about getting their own planet, I think "That's not what I learned"
This is what I was taught and believed:
God the father lives on a planet near a star called Kolob and he created and owns all of space. He created the known universe, all galaxies etc. There are countless worlds in the universe and god the father presides over all of them. (As a side note, we were sent to the world that was most wicked and the best at the same time because we got to be on the world that had the one savior but also, our world was bad enough to kill him)
So, we as children of god the father, would one day get to live on our own Kolob style planet and preside over our own universe with countless planets.
I was never taught that we would get our own planet. I was taught that I'd get my own universe, just like daddy.
I had many discussions about this with fellow missionaries, and members when I was a TBM. I honestly have never heard of just getting a planet.
Was I in a crazy part of Utah, or was anyone else taught this too?
