No. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) believe that God resides in heaven. Where exactly 'heaven' is remains unknown. A rarely used Book of Mormon scripture describes a planet called 'Kolob' which is said to be "nearest to the throne of God". It never says that God lives there, only that it is the closest planet to where God lives.

What planet does God inhabit according to LDS?

Mormon scripture and doctrine never says that God lives on a planet. It does state that a planet or star called Kolob is 'the nearest to the throne of God', but that is all that is known. Most Mormons assume that God lives on a planet of some sort, but this place is never given a name nor described.


Is god from another planet mormon belief?

No. The doctrine and scripture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) never says that God lives on another planet. It does briefly mention that a planet called 'Kolob' is "nearest to the throne of God" (see Pearl of Great Price, Abraham Chapter 3), but it does not say that God lives there, only that He lives near there. Mormons believe that God lives in the Celestial Kingdom of Heaven, where all mankind may dwell with Him if they choose to obey Him.


Where do the Mormon god lives?

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), like all Christians, believe that God lives in Heaven. They do not assign heaven to any specific place or location, and can only speculate as to where it is or what it looks like.A less commonly used Mormon scripture gives some insight, saying that a planet called "Kolob" is "nearest to the throne of God" and that there, "a day is as a thousand years". (See Pearl of Great Price, Abraham chp. 3) However, it specifically mentions that God does not live on Kolob, only near to it. Mormons do not know if Kolob is any planet that mankind has discovered or not.

Do Mormons plan on returning to their home planet Kolob?

No, because Mormons do not believe that Kolob is their home planet. "Kolob" is a planet mentioned in only five verses of Mormon scripture. Each time it is called the planet "nearest to the throne of God". It is not the home of God, nor is it the home of mankind or of Mormons. All that has been revealed about Kolob is that it is near to the place of God and that it's time is the same as God's time. (Presumeably 1000 years on earth is a single day on Kolob - see 2 Peter 3:8) Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) do believe believe that our spirits lived with God prior to life on earth, and that the faithful and righteous who have accepted salvation through Jesus Christ will return to live with God after death. However, the place that they will live will NOT be Kolob. Ifthe Celestial Kingdom of God (heaven)is on any known planet, it would be on earth, after it has been cleansed and renewed to recieve its paradisiacal glory following the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the resurrectionof all mankind.


Are Mormons atheistic since they worship their church and Joseph Smith and a man they call God but that man is just like them with flesh and bones but lives in Heaven on Kolab?

No. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) worship God alone. To worship Joseph Smith would be blasphemy and just as inappropriate and absurd as worshiping Moses or Isaiah or any other prophet. They do not worship their church either. Mormons do believe that God was once a man, but that He is now glorified, exalted and deified and is God, not a man.Mormons also do not believe that God lives on Kolob, two verses of Mormon scripture say that the throne of God is near toKolob. It never says He lives on Kolob.In addition, atheism is the belief that there is no god - so even if one does not worship or believe in the same god that you do, this does not mean they are atheists.

Kolob the planet of God?

The Book of Abraham states that Kolob is nearest to the throne of God, and that it's time is the same as the Lord's time (one day there is a thousand years here on earth). God also tells Abraham that it is the greatest of the Kokaubeam that he has seen. That is all we really know.
