My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Mark 15: 34.

You do realize, that Jesus was quoting Scripture, don't you? He was referring to Psalm 22. Since Scripture in those days did not have Chapter and verse specifications, they referred to passages by the first line or two.

The Holy Ghost is also a God ...

The Holy Ghost is a God? How many gods does the LDS recognize? It's separate from the Father and Son? Are the Father and Son separate also?

We have been over this before, in the LDS god is god, Jesus is god and the holy ghost is god. (we don't deal with all the other gods on the other planets nor the LDS who have left this world and won their rights as gods of other worlds, too much counting)

The LDS is not polytheist because there is only one god, there is just several of them.

I can't see how that is not clear to anyone and why one must believe in the terrible trinity thing...

(I know, God is confused too...)

Yes, I knew that, I cut and pasted from the LDS website, remember? BTW, the Chinese do the same thing with well known sayings, and yes, I have learned Chinese.

Read the post? There is one Godhead (A word that is actually in the KJV Bible) which consists of God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy ghost. These three are one in heart might mind and strength, the same way one is used through out the bible, man and wife -- one, the 12 apostles -- One, the members of the church -- one. It's not my fault that Constantine wanted to appease the Greek philosophers and make it one amorphous substance without body parts or passions.

Consider the following scripture:John 17:21-22
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Jesus makes a specific analogy with the oneness the Disciples should have with the oneness he shares with the Father. You may disagree with our interpretation of the bible, but there is definite support for what we believe in there.
