A video from Dr. Blythe's Lost Library argues that the LDS idea of "infinite regress" — the concept that God himself has a Father — was not a one-time statement in Joseph Smith's King Follett Discourse but a repeatedly taught doctrine, citing Smith's Sermon at the Grove and other sources.

The video, posted October 12, drew 18,255 views in 30 hours (roughly 609 per hour) with 474 comments, indicating significant discussion. The analysis challenges the contemporary LDS tendency to treat the King Follett Discourse's more speculative theology as historical outlier rather than established teaching.

The doctrine of infinite regress — sometimes called "eternal progression" — holds that God was once mortal and that humans can become gods, with no ultimate first cause. The teaching has been downplayed in modern church discourse but remains a point of historical and theological interest in ex-Mormon and academic circles.
