if this were true, the apostle Peter would have made known the nature of the Godhead!
_______________________________________

Well since Peter never mentioned any Godhead that could be true if you wanted to be literal..

but Mormons tend to pick and choose what Bible scriptures will fit or can be bent to back up their unbiblical beliefs..

and so they pick out Peter because Peter never said “Godhead”

Although Peter never used the term “Godhead” in any of his writing, he did indeed understand God and understood the Trinity..

The LORD Jesus Christ told Peter and the disciples about the nature of God and the Godhead also called the Trinity..

The disciples came to Him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for the Mormons who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them. That is why I use these parables, For they look, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really listen or understand.

This fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah that says, ‘When you hear what I say, you will not understand. When you see what I do, you will not comprehend. For the hearts of the Mormons are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes—so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.’ Matthew 13:10-15

and yes it was Paul who said “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” Colossians 2:8, 9

and Paul also said “in Him all the fullness of the Godhead was pleased to dwell” Colossians 1:19

and it was John who said “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” 1 John 5:7

Paul said “For as much then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like to gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.” Acts 17:29

so if the Godhead is also the Trinity, the idea was not one of man’s but God’s own and His nature..

and if Mormons choose not to understand the nature of God it’s the fault of the stubbornness and rebellion and apostasy and sinful nature and traditions of man of the Mormons and not of God..

Because Paul also said “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that the Mormons are without excuse.” Romans 1:20

and John also said “And we know that the Son of God has come, and He has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and He is eternal life.” 1 John 5:20

...he did indeed understand God and understood the Trinity...

So did; evidently, NEPHI.
