Re: Mormon's Criticized for not Accepting the "Trinity" Doct
Mormons believe in Jesus as God, HF as God, and the Holy Spirit as a very spread-out spirit guy. They also believe God is married so therefore, HM is also God. That makes at least 3 main Gods and potentially others, including any demigods like Abraham and his wives.
This is my fav part about Mormonism.

Actually, the Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit, just as any other personage of spirit, who has attained godhood in His ante mortal state.

Gdemetz, is my post an accurate reflection of what is believed in Mormonism?
If not, please show me how it is inaccurate.

Ok, 4.
Mormonism really has a wild and exciting theology. It just needs to come out of hiding.
