The LDS Church believes in more than one God. This is brought out in my first two statements below. Yet the Book of Mormon contradicts these statements (see quotes below). From an official LDS page titled Do Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Believe in the Trinity...

The question is taken from John 10:30. "I and the Father are one." How many persons are in view in this verse? IN GOD THE SON, james

According to this LDS article, churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/… how did Smith know that what Jesus said to the thief on the cross was a mistranslation? Also, the following is from a Mormon that told me the following: "The Lord told the thief that he would be in the world of...

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints authority or the entire body of Mormonism is fully and exclusively traceable to and or dependent upon exactly the claims of one man--Joseph Smith. The man, Joseph Smith is the single, sole source of Mormon "revelation." "On a spring day in 1820...

Secondly, what qualifications does one need to be "a god?" In other words, how did Jesus earn the title that he is "a god?" IN GOD THE SON, james

And yes I know full well this issue has been brought up a thousand times but I have a few questions? For one, the D&C, along with the Bible, the Book of Mormon and the Pearl of Great Price are standard works which means these are official Mormon doctrine as opposed to quoting Bringham Young or...

The NWT explicitly states in John 1:1 that Jesus Christ is "a god," yet Colossians 2:9 states, "For (or because) in Him all the fulness of Deity/Godhead dwells in bodily form." This is backed up by Colossians 1:19, "For it was the Father's good pleasure for all the fulness to dwell in Him."...

Mark 1:11 states: "and a voice came out of the heavens: "Thou are My beloved Son, in Thee I am well pleased." Who's doing the speaking? (1) Is God the Father? (2) Is God the Son? (3) Is it the Holy Spirit speaking? So just to clarify, is one person speaking or is all three persons...

Acts 7 deals with Stephen giving the Jews a little history lesson (right before his death). He say's at Acts 7:2-3, "Hear me brethren and fathers! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran. Stephen is referencing Genesis 12:1 at vs3...

They begin with the assumption that God is only One person. Yahchristian and Oneness Pentecostals to name a couple. So here is my question, did God beget himself? If He does this would mean that Yeshua becomes his own father, which destroys the notion that the Father and Son are distinct persons...

Hi Jonathan! When I first wrote about the angel of the Lord I stated (in my opinion) the best proof that the angel of the Lord is the preincarnate Jesus Christ was based on him swearing an oath at Genesis 22. I backed this up with Hebrews 6:13-17. In fact, you Jonathan wanted to know how from...

Hi Jonathan, good questions? Just so you know the second I saw you reference Acts 7 I knew this was about Stephen and him mentioning the angel of the Lord. Regarding your point #1 I would say that your making an "argument from silence". I cannot demonstrate what God has not done or said. No one...

How do you determine which of the three distinct beings/three gods are doing the speaking in the Old Testament? For example, Genesis 17:1-2, "Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I am God Almighty; Walk before Me and be blameless. vs2, And I will...

You have said in the past that God the Father is the person of the Holy Spirit. What do you base this teaching on? Or to put it another way why does the Bible make a distinction of persons between God the Father and the Holy Spirit and the Son of God for that matter? My second question is what...

This is what Paul stated to the Philippian Jailer and Paul further stated "you and your household." At verse 32 Paul spoke the word of the Lord to him "together" with all who were in his house. Vs33, "And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was...
