Transcription

. . . the book [of Abraham] remains part of Mormon sacred scripture and a basis for other unique beliefs. It teaches, for example, the plurality of Gods: "And they went down at the beginning, and they, that is the Gods, organized and formed the heavens and the earth" (Abraham 4:1). And it provides the basis for belief that these gods came from the star Kolob to do their creative work in this part of the universe (Abraham3:3, 9).
