LDS "Pearl of Great Price", Abraham 4:10 Similar to the creation in Genesis with one blasphemous difference.
And the Gods pronounced the dry land, Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, pronounced they, Great Waters; and the Gods saw that they were obeyed.

Abraham 4:27
So the Gods went down to organize man in their own image, in the image of the Gods to form they him, male and female to form they them.

Genesis 1:26

“26¶ And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness:...”

What was your point exactly?

I tend not to get involved in these daily Mormon bashing threads, but I will offer this one and only post. Those who care to know what we believe know where to look. Those who seek to find fault will always do so.

I can tell you as a Mormon that I believe in God the Father, His son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. I believe they are one God, and one Godhead, and are united in purpose for our welfare.

I believe that Christ told his Apostles to be one, as he and the Father are one. I don't believe that means one in substance. I believe God the Father spoke from heaven at Christ's baptism and crucifixion, and that Christ prayed to His Father for help. I believe that Stephen saw 2 distinct personages at his death by stoning, Christ standing on the right hand of God. That doesn't make them any less than one God, for they are one indeed.

I just don't happen to define that as you do.

I know these daily threads won't change for you folks, I know that, but they do serve a purpose... a good one too. Keep it up, the work moves on, sometimes with your help.

There are at least three OT passages that could be inferred to point to polytheism.

I did hear a retired rabbi on the radio shoot down the caller trying to say that Judaism was polytheistic because of those passages.
