Mormon's Criticized for not Accepting the "Trinity" Doctrine

[_zeezrom]

And Gods with lovers.

No Zeezrom, that is not exactly Mormon Doctrine.

[_zeezrom]

Yes it is. I can feel it.

[_gdemetz]

A voice seems top be whispering in my ear; don't you dare ask Zeezrom how he feels it.

Many are also afraid to ask Mr. Monson how he feels things. We shouldn't be afraid. We should walk up to Mr. Monson and just ask him, "What have you and Jesus been discussing of late?" I'm sure he would be kindly obliged to fill you in.

Do you feel God, gdemetz?

I need to be honest here. I have not lived my life as I should have in accordance with the principles of the restored gospel. Consequently, my spiritual manifestations have been severely limited. However, I did give an account of one of them here.

Have I fallen through the looking glass?

I appreciate your sincerity.

The Church has been criticized lately by evangelicals for not swallowing the doctrine of the trinity as they do. Some of them have stated that this makes the church, in essence, not Christian. They have claimed that Bible believing Christians accept the doctrine of the trinity.

However, in my opinion, there have been very few, if any, more foolish doctrines associated with Christianity than the doctrine of the trinity. First of all, it has it's roots in the Athanasian Creed, which was written during the time of Atenasius, but no one really knows who wrote it. This document has to be one of the most foolish things ever to come from the mind of man, and it somehow ties together all three beings of the Godhead into "one substance," somewhat like a three in one laundry detergent. It certainly has to push an intelligent mind to great lengths to try to imagine why, for example, Christ would pray to Himself, or land on Himself at His own baptism meanwhile throwing His voice to heaven exclaiming that He is well pleased with Himself, or how part of this substance would know when He would return again, but the other part somehow would not. "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine." And, they look upon the "first vision" as being strange, however, this is only brought about because of a "great apostasy." What Joseph saw was closer, but no different than what Stephen saw, or what many other Biblical prophets saw, and that was Jesus Christ at the right hand of Heavenly Father! This is the true Biblical and Christian doctrinal teaching that has been restored to the earth again along with so many other things as part of the great "restitution of all things."

I recommend reading a good book that describes Christian belief in the Triune God, as what you are criticing here isn't it. :) A lot of people seem to like "Mere Chrisitianity", which is alright. I like "The God of Jesus Christ: Meditations on the Triune God" better.
