So you expect me to accept your indirect inferences, none of which quote the Lord Jesus Christ as stating He is God. In fact the scriptures are replete with references to them as separate beings. Why would He pray to Himself?

In fact the scriptures are replete with references to them as separate beings.

1 Timothy 6:13-16

 

 13.  I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
 14.  That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
 15.  Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of Lords;
 16.  Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

 

 

Joesph Smith lied when he said he SAW the Father.

Why? ... I can think of at least two reasons: 1) He was teaching the thick-headed disciples how to ‘be’ in touch with God; 2) He spoke worlds into existence, so speaking what He desitred for His disciples, for the events about to unfold, for those whom He healed, all these are ‘logos’ related, spoken will establishing reality in the here and now and the when to come.
