“Mormonism and the bible Are both true at the same time”
Can you tell me how the nature of the Mormon gods and the God of Scripture can both be true?
God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens. That is the great secret. If the vail was rent to-day, and the great God who holds this world in its orbit, and who upholds all worlds and all things by his power, was to make himself visible,--I say, if you were to see him to-day, you would see him like a man in form--like yourselves, in all the person, image, and very form as a man; for Adam was created in the very fashion, image, and likeness of God, and received instruction from, and walked, talked, and conversed with him, as one man talks and communes with another. – Joseph Smith from King Follett Discourse
For I know that God is not a partial God, neither a changeable being; but he is unchangeable from all eternity to all eternity. Moroni 8:18
Before the mountains were born, the earth and the world brought forth, from eternity to eternity you are God. Psalm 90:2
The Bible says "Thou shalt not have strange gods before me."
What is stranger than a Mormon god who:
- starts off as a single Spirit, eternal and all-powerful;
- who then becomes, perhaps, two gods in one, and then three;
- who never changes, yet was once born a man, lived, sinned, repented, and died;
- who was made God the Father of this world by his own God;
- and who will make his own children gods someday of their own worlds?
You are right. This should be fun.
