Oh, TP,

Somehow you managed to pick one word out of a post about the 4 Mormon Earth Gods and focus it on a side comment... clearly acknowledging the truth of mormonism’s teaching about multiplying gods.

I’m more than willing to set aside the “probation” of the naughty spirit who didn’t qualify to get a body - a requisite for mormonic teaching about the path to godhood - but got in anyway.

The fact remains, mormonism is a perverted and bizarre theology of millions or billions or trillions of gods that breed in the heavens. None of which is true - nor Biblical.

That is the point of my post. Those are my “talking points”. Of course, mormons themselves would never describe the spirit as naughty. You knew that before you googled, I suspect.

Re: Mormons and multiple Gods - it is no secret that Mormons do not subscribe to the extra-Biblical definition of a single Trinitarian God. And while the "plan of salvation" according to Mormon doctrine suggests a infinite number of "Gods," there are only three Gods that Mormons have any dealing with in this "state of probation" as we may call our earth life. God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ, our Savior) and God the Spirit (or more commonly called the Holy Ghost). Mormons consider them separate entities, that is true, and that does disagree with orthodox Christianity's definition of the Trinity in the creeds, so yes, Mormons are not orthodox Christians. But these three are the only ones considered to be "worshiped" as Gods by Mormons.

You do raise a good question about if Heavenly Mother is a God that we should worship in the same manner as the other three, and as best as I can tell the answer to that is "it hasn't been revealed to us" at this time. Who knows, maybe you are right, and the Mormon pantheon includes four worshiped Gods.
