LDS doctrine believe in the Godhead; which includes God the Father, his son-Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost.

Yes God created mankind, just below the Angels. That is our position in intelligence and ability of reason. Angels are a spiritual creation, mankind is the secondary mortal creation. The soul of man is a combination of the spirit and body of man.

This doctrine is perfectly taught by the example of Jesus Christ. Christ lived in the pre-existence, recieved a body through birth, his body died, and his spirit re-united with a glorified immortally ressurected body.

One of the main teachings of the New Testament which has completely missed you, is the example of the physical ressurection of Jesus Christ.

Christ’s ressurection is indisputable, and that it was an example for all mankind to also be likewise ressurected is scriptually sound.

Your problem, is that when Roman Emperors dictated christian doctrine, Christ’s ressurection didn’t fit in the Nicene Creed. The Creed and Christ’s physical ressurection where completely incompatable.

Consequently, main-stream Christianity solved that problem by re-interpreting Christ’s physical ressurection to subordinate it to the Nicene Creed.

Dont’t you know this stuff? It’s pretty basic.

Christ had, and currently has a ressurected body, nowhere in the New Testament does is say that Christ used his ressurected body to fake us out ... nor does it say that he ever ditched it when he got to heaven. Instead two angels standing by at the final assencion stated that Christ in a similar way would return. Which I assume means with his ressurected body.

Sorry that New Testament teaching didn’t make the Emperors edits.

I have never and will never deny the resurrection. Its our hope. Where you get this is beyond my comprehension. Man was created a living soul - God breathed into the nostrils of Adam and he became a living soul. We are a triune being just as God is - we are body, soul and spirit. God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit and we were created in God’s image. The angels are not.

I don’t know anything about the Nicene Creed. What are you talking about faked us out? Your points are screwed up. I don’t dispute the resurrected body of Christ. You are judging Christianity based on a false assumption with an air of superiority while hanging on to your damnable heresies.

You say you believe in the Godhead, but in reality, you believe in 3 gods. There is one God in three persons. Go back to creation and read it. God said, “Let US make man in OUR image.” Here you see the triune God in the creation.
