The question is invalid.

OK. Got it. Any question you can’t answer is invalid.

Think about it – I am simply quoting Mormon scripture and texts and you consider explaining those quotes invalid.

Lets try again:

"I know that God is not a partial God, neither a changeable being; but he is unchangeable from all eternity to all eternity" (Moroni 8:18)

Here it says God is unchangeable, from eternity to eternity. Is this true? If yes, go to the next paragraph. If no, please explain.

"For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today and forever, and in him there is no variableness, neither shadow of changing? And now, if ye have imagined up unto yourselves a god who doth vary, and in whom there is shadow of changing,then ye have imagined up unto yourselves a god who is not a God of miracles" (Mormon 9:9-10)

Here it says God doesn’t have a “shadow of changing” – is this true? It agrees with Moroni. If this is true, go to the next paragraph. If it is not true, pleas explain.

"Here, then, is eternal life--to know the only wise and true God. And you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves--to be kings and priests to God, the same as all Gods have done--by going from a small degree to another, from grace to grace, from exaltation to exaltation, until you are able to sit in glory as do those who sit enthroned in everlasting power." - King Follett Discourse

Here it says that god evolved from man. Is that a change? So again, Moroni and Mormon describe God as immutable and unchanging. The KFD shows something else. How can you believe that God is at the same time immutable and changing, that from all eternity he was as he now is, but he somehow evolved from a mere mortal?

If God evolved, Moroni and Mormon are wrong. If God didn’t evolve, the KFD and Joseph Smith is wrong. Which is it?

When did you stop beating your wife? Answer the question.

If you never beat your wife the question is based on a false premise and is invalid.

If you would simply try to find this at the links provided you will find it quite easily. Your pretend issue is an old anti-Mormon propaganda tool that has been answered long ago and many times.

If you really want the answer then look. It’s right there. Do you really want it or do you just want to argue? Which is it?
