It has taken me some time to come to terms with the Father being a Savior before but I believe through personal prayer and study I am finally there. 12 years ago I used to argue against this doctrine so much! I didn't want to believe the Father was a Savior! Because of what the pattern would imply.

Joseph Smith said, "What did Jesus say? (Mark it, Elder Rigdon!) The scriptures inform us that Jesus said, as the Father hath power in himself, even so hath the Son power--to do what? Why, what the Father did. The answer is obvious--in a manner to lay down his body and take it up again. Jesus, what are you going to do? To lay down my life as my Father did, and take it up again."

Who lays down there body and takes it up again? Jesus laid down His body in a sense when He said, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." It is my opinion that a Savior lays down his body (for a sacrifice for sin) and takes it up again. If the pattern is correct and the Father was a Savior, and Christ is a Savior, then I believe that in another place that I will need to be a Savior to eventually become Perfect like the Father and to become Perfect like the Son was after He was resurrected. I believe this to be a path to godhood.

On another note.... I have not came across anything implying that women would have to be saviors. Does this mean the men get to feel what Christ did in Gethsemane and the women get to deal with child birth? Just curious.....
