So a scripture that merely lists names will not be a problem for a "True Scholar" of the Bible.Exodus 6:3 is not the one of the verses I have in mind, though there's nothing wrong with that one. I'm not talking about Scriptures that only list names, I'm referring to specific verses that literally call Jehovah, "Elohim".
Cordially,

Well, that convinces me I need to wait this out and not help the poster along. Thanks, Diamond.

You redirected to me, Grin: Perhaps YOU can say just which ones those are, for OMM is having a bit of trouble pointing them out.
The Nicene Creed I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.
Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
In order of appearance:
- being of one substance with the Father
- I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church
These are the only points with which I believe Mormons will have heart burn about (not to be confused with a testimony, LOL!)
Mormons believe:
- God and Christ are indeed one, but not of the same substance, they are one in heart might mind and strength.
- Jesus Was part of the Godhead before time started, and will still be part of the Godhead still after time ends.
- Jesus was in charge of all God's creations, so they are also his creations.
- Jesus is God the Father's son in every way, literally, genetically (God did not have "relations" with Mary, Jesus was born of a virgin)
- Jesus is the only mortal son of God the Father, who is also the father of all our spirits.
- Jesus was the first born spirit as well as in the flesh.
- All spirits are children of God, that makes us brothers (yes, including Me and you and Jesus, and Satan).
- Most of this is codified in the Articles of Faith
There, happy?
Now, I suggest you pray about the Articles of Faith and the Nicene creed, and see which one God approves of (Oh, and if you believe the Nicene creed as posted, I hope you are Catholic, chuckle)
