In answer to your questions, they are all yes — according to Mormon teachings.

The “god of Mormonism” had a father and he was born at one time. That’s definitely not the God of Christian theology and teaching. So, right there, we know that they are using the same “word” but a different meaning.

And according to Mormon teaching, Jesus and Satan were brothers before Jesus came here to earth (I guess spirit brothers...). There’s another one where the Mormons use the “name” of Jesus, but obviously have a different kind of person actually being described. It’s *definitely* not the teaching or theology of Christianity.

In Mormon teaching, the Garden of Eden was in Missouri. That’s true (at least for “them”, it is...). But, as far as Christian theology and teaching is concerned, it says *no such thing at all*. So, we come across another radical difference, too.

In three easy questions, we’ve got a difference in the “god of Mormonism”, a difference in the “Jesus of Mormonism” and a difference in the location and/or place of the Garden of Eden.

The more you go into *every aspect* of Mormon teaching and doctrine, it’s just so mind-boggling how any Mormon can actually say with a straight face (without bursting out laughing) that Mormons actually teach Christian doctrine and that there is no difference at all... LOL!

The tension arises from Mormonism Apologists denying what their own founding teachings relate ... when pressed to define they choose to obfuscate, deny, change the subject, dismiss as 'already been addressed', or just attack the questioner. Do I ask questions over and over of them? Yes, it is the only way to expose the heresies if they will answer truthfully. For a couple of weeks, several months ago, they tried to deceive. Then they began being truthful, then they went back to being openly deceptive, almost as if they had received warnings from someone/somewhere that discussing the peculiarities of Mormonism on an open forum was not to happen! With much researching in LDS source documents, the truth is posted on these threads and promptly denied or the poster is attacked as a bigot, a hater, or worse. You keep posting the truth about Mormonism and you too will be assaulted and maligned, Pastor. But then, you knew that because the New Testament details that for you and you've studied 'the Book' of the family. :-)
