No, Mormons are not polytheist. We worship only the Godhead; the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. All else is immaterial for our salvation. Hindus worship multiple Gods. I’m really not sure where you are getting a comparison.

So, there is no other God outside of the one who create the planet earth?

Also, are you saying that God was never a man on another planet?

God created the universe, and all the worlds that are in it. Still looking beyond the mark?

Or in this case, the John? ;-)

John 1:3
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Not be a moron, but ...

You are saying there is only one God. Period. End of story. No other God in this universe or any other.

Re: #28...OK, then why did Joseph Smith add dozens of words to the book of Revelation?

You silly GENTILE!!!

Don't you KNOW yet?

It's because it wasn't TRANSLATED correctly!

It's right there in the AoF - if you'd ever read and understand it!

Now Hinckley was either a liar or an idiot.

That is SO unkind!

YOU call yourself a 'christian' and yet besmirch the good name of our recently departed, doddering old fool that way.

SHAME!

What does the average Mormon really believe?


 
 
 

 

 
 1. I’m Superior; I have a special gift of the holy Ghost - you don’t! 
 2. I’m Superior; I have God’s true priesthood power - you don’t! 
 3. I’m Superior; I can go in God’s secret Temple - you can’t! 
 4. I’m Superior; I’ve been Endowed with special Gifts and Knowledge - you’re just normal! 
 5. I’m Superior; I’ll have my family with me in heaven - you’ll be with strangers! 
 6. I’m Superior; I’m becoming a God - you aren’t! 
 7. I’m Superior; My women know their place as servants of man and yours don’t. 
 8. I’m Superior; YOUR creeds are wrong because they come from man - mine comes from God (you can find each one printed in our Scriptures). 
 9. I’m Superior; I don’t HAVE a creed - I’ve got 13 Articles of Faith.
10. I’m Superior; I have four standard works and you only have one — in as far as it is translated correctly.
11. I’m Superior; I can lie with impunity about such things as church membership, church growth, church doctrine, church history, church influence, etc. — and you can’t.
12. I’m Superior; I am right (everybody knows) when I say 'evangelical' Christians are lunatics --
                        -- You’re a hideous narrow-minded bigot, who is persecuting me by practicing discrimination by saying I'm not  a Christian.
13. I’m Superior; I have a Living Prophet who talks to god every day — you have a dim-witted hireling of Satan who only talks to himself.
14. I’m Superior; I have magic underwear to protect me from the bogey man and you don’t.
15. I’m Superior; I have secret clasps and grips to give the angel so I get admitted to the celestial kingdom — you don’t so you can’t.
16. I’m Superior; I will see Joseph Smith setting on the right hand of GOD, when I get to Mormon heaven, and he will recognize me and judge me favorably —
                        -- You’re  on your own; when you get to wherever you’re going!
17. I’m Superior; I’m going to hie to Kolob while you’re going to who knows where.
18. I’m Superior; I get to have a harem and act like a celestial stud for time and all eternity and you don’t.
19. I’m Superior; I have sun stones, moon stones, sky stones, cloud stones, Saturn stones, and the evil eye of Osirus guarding my temple — all you have is a stupid cross.
20. I’m Superior; My church has billions in assets stashed away and yours has taken a stupid vow of poverty.

The average Mormon knows little about the more radical teachings of his religion.

He thinks he is a Christian and his teachers do nothing to dissuade him from that belief.

 

You are KIDDING?  Right?

We worship only the Godhead; the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Your godhead entity has TWO physical bodies.

The Orthopdox Christian GODhead has only ONE with a physical body.

This 'answer' will be illuminating or obfuscating.

Question: “What is henotheism?”

Answer: According to the American Heritage Dictionary, henotheism is the belief in one god without denying the existence of others.

Seems to fit Mormonism pretty accurately.

This past Conference, An Apostle of Jesus Christ addressed this very issue.

("Snort!")

And just this last week, my cat, an Apostle of Garfield, had a hairball which was coughed up and mounted in a jar on the mantle between two Glade candles....

I'm busy composing a fifty-page address addressing the event.
