“It seems very strange to me that members of the Church will hold to the doctrine, ‘God increases in knowledge as time goes on’ … Where has the Lord ever revealed to us that he is lacking in knowledge? That he is still learning new truth; discovering new laws that are unknown to him? I think this kind of doctrine is very dangerous.”

Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation – Volume 1 (Salt Lake City, UT: Bookcraft, 1954), 6.

“God is increasing in knowledge. If there was a point where man in his progression could not proceed any further, the very idea would throw a gloom over every intelligent and reflecting mind. God Himself is increasing and progressing in knowledge, power, and dominion, and will do so, worlds without end.”

Wilford Woodruff, The Discourses of Wilford Woodruff (Salt Lake City, UT: Bookcraft, 1990), 3.
