Post #170: There is only one God. He has only ONE Begotten Son, who is Jesus Christ... [MF]
Let's put the ramifications of these two together, shall we?
MF says only "one God." Jesus is apparently a separate being (his statement, "Christ couldn't pray to Himself") as a family relation to that "one God." But, then, that would make Him out to be someone separate -- less than divine (since if He was a separate, divine being -- that would make for at least two gods).
Bottom line: Typically, LDS say Christ "couldn't pray to himself" but then will turn right around and essentially (since they believe in one "godhead" of more than one personage) that Christ could pray to the same godhead, which, BTW, happens to include himself.
This shows you what happens when LDS do cartwheels to sound orthodox and not appear to be raging polytheists ("we believe in one godhead" or as in MF's words, "There is only one God" -- the latter being a sentiment not shared by the majority of Mormons).
On the one hand, they'll stress the "one" God...the "one" Godhead...Why? (because both the Bible and Book of Mormon does so, as well as a good chunk of doctrine & covenants)...but then on the other hand, they wind up attacking the "one Godhead" when they attack the trinity, "Well, Jesus couldn't pray to himself."
(Well, that's news that Jesus couldn't pray to the same godhead.)
