Correction- Here you are in the year 2002 and after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Men of this world sat around arguing the Nature of the Godhead with appointed political clery of Constantine.

The Christians before Constantine knew what the Godhead was, they just never had to define it until Arius began to preach his perverted doctrines. Then they tried to get a good definition of it which they still struggle with today.
In the BIBLE you will find titles and atributes given to the LORD, then the SAME titles and atributes given to Jesus.
The best proof is when Jesus gave the apostles the great commission thelling them to baptize in the NAME OF THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT, yet later we find them baptising in the name of Jesus. Thomas knew who he was when after the resurection he declared,"my LORD and my GOD."
Now a question for you.
From the days of the apostles men have made the same claim, that the word of GOD has been perverted.
Marcion, Mani, Valentinus, Paul of Samossata, Mohammed, Joseph Smith amd hundereds of others.
Each says "God has told me the real truth so follow me!" Yet each teaches something completely different from each other. So why should we believe any of these so called prophets?

The mormon church has always taught that the Bible has been perverted and not reliable yet this same church gives away free bibles in a "bait and switch" scheme. I would NEVER give away a book that I knew to be perverted, so are you guilty of spreading "false perverted scriptures?" If it is safe to give away why is it not safe for you to read? If it is the Gospel then the book of mormon is ANOTHER gospel that Paul warns against.
Look at it this way. Suppose you had a rich relative who died and left you all of his riches in his will and TESTAMENT. At the reading of the will someone else comes up with ANOTHER TESTAMENT, written in a strange hand, from an unknown source and attempts to claim it is an addition to the origional will, and in it it takes away what you receive in the origional will and gives it to another? IT WOULD NOT STAND UP IN COURT! So it is with your "another testament".
