In Alma 11:38 Zeezrom asked Amulek, "Is the Son of God the very Eternal Father?" According to Hugh Nibley this is the crux of the Christological controversy--how can he be the Son and the Father again? . . . Well, Jesus Christ by his work made the Resurrection possible--the literal bringing forth of the flesh. Not flesh and blood, but of the flesh to live eternally after the Resurrection. The one that makes that possible is your real father. He is the father who makes the Resurrection possible. We are not resurrected just as spirits or ghosts; we are resurrected with a real body. In that case he is truly the father, but not of our spirits. [Hugh W. Nibley, Teachings of the Book of Mormon, Semester 2, p. 319]
