OK, gonna have to ask for references on that one.
I took a quick gander at the reviews on Amazon. The gist seemed to that all one can expect in this world are the sacrifices demanded of the apostles. That actually hearkens back to the austere tenets of the Anglican faith back before it was bastardized into the milk-and-water religion it has become today. As to the quasi-heretical cargo cultism of the prosperity gospel, the less said the better.
Straight from the horndog prophet’s mouth...
“Joseph also said that the Holy Ghost is now in a state of Probation which if he should perform in righteousness he may pass through the same or a similar course of things that the Son has.” (”Scriptural Items”, F.D. Richards, The Words of Joseph Smith, Ehat/Cook, pg. 245.)
Google is your friend.
If you think that a Trinity means “three gods,” then you don’t begin to understand what is meant by the dogma of the Trinity. Here’s a great, great book on what is meant by the dogma: http://tinyurl.com/mindofthemaker
Eisegesis ! I prefer to lean on the WORD of G-d. Seek YHvH in His WORD. Psalm 146:3 Do not trust in princes, Cute, but the words of a created being.

Psalm 118:9 It is better to take refuge in YHvH
Than to trust in princes
In mortal man,
in whom there is no salvation.
“Sorry.
The Jews who followed Yah’shua
did not believe in three gods or a trinity.
That was a later Greek thing codified and
promulgated by the Roman “church”
with the development of Dogma in the form of creeds.

The doctrine of the trinity is not just the doctrine of the New Testament, but also of the Old. Daniel’s vision of the Messiah coming to the “Ancient of Days” and receiving power and dominion forever and ever, including worship. Isaiah writing “And now the LORD God, and His Spirit, hath sent me” is another. The scripture is certainly there.
It is BRITISH ISRAELISM in a new package. That my friend is TWO HOUSE HERESY !

You think it’s about the prosperity gospel? Actually, it’s the opposite. Unless I misunderstood you.
“Hinduism has 350 million. They may very well be trumped by mormonism.”
Other threads are talking about whether or not American can survive the re-election of Obama.
Another four years of Obama would be a disaster.
But, if that is going to happen, there is a bright side. We wouldn’t have a Mormon as head of State — lighting the national Christmas tree, holding the national prayer breakfast, ending speeches with “God bless America”, using the Bully Pulpit to indirectly evangelize for Mormonism.
FRiend, I am pointing out that there are indeed Jews who know Christ as Savior, Messiah and Lord - part of the Godhead.
You denied that there were. I simply linked a site I googled up that shows there are such Jews. Call them what you will. What you believe them to be is not my concern.
In the end, all Jews will “look upon Him whom they pierced and weep”. In the end, they will all understand Jesus Christ is “Lord and God.”
Until that time, there will be many views of Christ, but none of them changes who He is - God.
Never mind. I still think you would like it. Might be surprised.
“Other threads are talking about whether or not American can survive the re-election of Obama.”
Do you know this thread is in the Religion forum? We are talking about religion.
Yah'shua said: Again Eisegesis !

John 10:30 "I and the Father are one."
The words Father, Son and Spirit
are all metaphors for YHvH.
Ok, I’ll bite.
You say you believe in Yah’shua. I’m assuming you are using the Hebrew name for Jesus (Joshua/Yah’shua) or am I mistaken?
And, assuming you are claiming to believe in Jesus. Just what do you believe about him? Who is he?
They are not Messianic. It is a heresy.
You referenced a gentile TWO HOUSE site.

“Again Eisegesis !”
The words of the Apostles and Prophets directly contradict you. The LORD wouldn’t say to our Lord “sit thou at my right hand, till all enemies be made your footstool” unless there really was a difference. There would be no need to baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit if all were just different names for ONE person. Nor would there be any reason for Christ to pray... to Himself (the Father), during His earthly ministry, unless He, being fully God and fully man, had temporarily chosen to not move according to His own will to live the perfect human life.
To you, it is a heresy. There are many, many Jewish believers in Christ, who know He is God. You may not, I don’t know. I am simply pointing out your statement was not accurate.
Romney believes in God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Where do you get your facts from.
