“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.

This is simple

A Mormons believe in GOD (Singular) and Jesus Christ his Son, and Wait, this has been quoted here already, please read before asking...

We believe in the God of Abraham and of Isaac, and of Jacob. We have different interpretations of Scripture, and we even believe that god will talk (Give Commandments) Prophets today. We even believer that we follow the admonition of Paul.

Can a being that exists outside of time be called eternal? Even if they had a beginning? Compared to us? >> The Bible says "Thou shalt not have strange gods before me." >> What is stranger than a Mormon god who:

>> A starts off as a single Spirit, eternal and all-powerful;

>> B who then becomes, perhaps, two gods in one, and then three;

>> C who never changes, yet was once born a man, lived, sinned, repented, and died;

>> D who was made God the Father of this world by his own God;

>> E and who will make his own children gods someday of their own worlds?

A. God didn't "Start off".
B. God did multiply by having children, but I do not think that is what you are talking about :-)
OK, I'll go through the logic for you.
Postulate: This world is a type and Shadow of the eternities.
Cats have Kittens which grow up to be ?... That's right Cats.
Cows have Calves which grow up to be?... Cows.
Gods have children that grow up to be? ... Eternal slaves because he likes to build us and has no true offspring BZZT Wrong!
They wind up (if they are obediant) to be Gods (Children of a God and still his subjects)
C. As long as you have existed, God has Been God, So to you , he never changes.
D. No one was "Made God the Father" of this world. God the Father is God, Jesus Christ is the "God of this world" in that he was called to be The Savior.
E. What EXACTLY is it you plan to do in heaven? We believe we will continue to do God's work.

This is really interesting because I can see you have done a lot of work in trying to do research, trying to bring up things you think will be "Embarrassing". You also either are really bad at research, or are purposefully misstating things.

Do you think Christ would have you belittle another's faith?

BTW My meeting just got over with.
