Hi Mad,

You just posted a picture of multiple gods. How do you go from that to one God?

Work out from the center. :)


"The Father is God" is not the same as "The Father is a God".

One God...begin there...and keep it stuck in mind. If you start thinking, "God is many gods", go back to "God is One".

Hi Mad,

That doesn't make any sense. Please explain?

At the cost of being accused of sounding like an echo from TBM's, it doesn't have to make sense: it just is. :redface: God is superior to us in all respects, and He understands it. With our little minds, we do not.

The really confusing god is the horse-unicorn god Pega-Christ. He was born of the immortal god Pegasus and a humble filly. But, at the same time, he is fully Pegasus and fully horse. He came down to earth to sacrifice himself to himself for the sins of all horse-kind. He was lifted up, sent to the glue factory, slaughtered, and raised from the dead on the third day.

He is in all things and in nothing. He is both black and white. He is up and down. He is in and out. He is hot and cold. He is 1 and 0. He is both a Yankees fan and a Red Sox fan. He is all things, and he is nothing. He is Pega-Christ.

If this doesn't make sense to you, it is only because you are unable to understand the depths of the mysteries of Pega-Christ.

Your satire is noted, and enjoyed. Maybe it will help those who really have difficulty understanding it.

You realize God had sex with another man's wife?


You realize the purported act would have taken place before Mary and Joseph were actually married don't you?

From the Christian perspective, using the Bible:

God Reveals Himself as One God, "Father".
The Father Reveals the Son.
The Father and the Son Reveal the Holy Spirit.

This is how God has revealed Himself. Christians through 2000 years have used theology and philosophy to explain what God has revealed about Himself. (Think of theology and philosophy as tools, that are used in faith seeking understanding.)

The part Mormons (and those with Mormon backgrounds) seem to get hung up on is the HOW. HOW is One God three Persons?

MCB answered that already. :) We accept, by faith, what God has Revealed. The Holy Trinity is called a "Mystery", which, in theological language does not mean we've thrown our hands up in the air and said "MYSTERY, MOVE ON!". It means, God has revealed a truth, which we accept, even if/when we don't understand it.

Mysteries are something we don't try to over-explain with human speculation. We accept that God is God, our Creator, and as a creation we cannot fully understand our Creator.

From a traditional viewpoint, The Father does not have dna. In the birth of Jesus no dna from God was involved because god dna is a nonexistent absurdity. Therefore no sexual relation with Mary occurred by physical or nonphysical means. She is referred to as Virgin.
