You really should read up on this topic, in our CURRENT scriptures. There is nothing to hide or even contradictory, try tackling this one. At first glance, you may think I’m bolstering your point, but keep reading. This explains much about worldwide confusion on this topic.

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Compare with this, from the Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi 31: 21

And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the away; and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen.

and another...

3 Nephi 11:27 And after this manner shall ye baptize in my name; for behold, verily I say unto you, that the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost are one; and I am in the Father, and the Father in me, and the Father and I are one.

They are one, our own scripture speak of this. The question is, what does “ONE” mean?

That also is answered both in the NT and the D&C:

John 17: 21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

D&C 35: 2 I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was crucified for the sins of the world, even as many as will believe on my name, that they may become the sons of God, even one in me as I am one in the Father, as the Father is one in me, that we may be one.

Where did you get the idea that I'm not CURRENT on LDS scriptures? Didn't I go to great lengths to show that the CURRENT LDS Church has completely rejected their previous SCRIPTURES? What part of that did you miss? THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT of my post - that the LDS Church has had serious doctrinal difficulties and changes with regard to the nature of God(s).

Hey, maybe next week the LDS Church will change their minds again and you'll be arguing against the position you CURRENTly hold.
