Yes, the term "Godhead" is in the KJV.

However, it is not defined in that version as you have defined it. Read multiple versions (KJV, NIV, NKJV, NASB, etc) of those two scriptures (that term only exists in two verses), and see what the term "Godhead" actually means.

It does not mean what you have stated it to mean.

ShadowAce,

Welcome to the ongoing discussion with members
of the cult of mormonism. It is an amazing journey.

I have some suggestions for you:

1. Don’t expect a mormon to tell you what they believe -
you are probably not “ready”. In fact, they are encouraged
to lie to you, if necessary, for your own good.

2. Don’t think you can use the tools of logic to converse
with a mormon. Think of it more as trying to nail Jello to the wall.

3. Math is not applicable - particularly when asking them about their gods. They have three that are one “in spirit”.
Their world view has room for trillions of gods. In fact, they aspire to godhood of their own, complete with planet, worshipers and universal party sleep overs with other gods.

4. The Bible, to a mormonite, only means what they impose on the words. There is no context, historical background, greek grammar, etc. It is simply seeing a word and imposing predecided meaning. As such, there isn’t what Christians would refer to as Bible Study. It is more like an easter egg hunt, where they bring their own die for each egg they find.

In short, it is talking to mormons is more like being Alice in Wonderland than a real conversation.

Again, welcome. The more the merrier!

Best,
ampu

I believe it does.

You say potato, and I say 'tater.

Please tell me where the definition of the Trinity shows up in one place in the scriptures. You can't the Trinity is an interpretation of the scriptures.

This is why it's so disingenuous for antis (and I mean of every religion, not just of mine) to try to tear down another religion that has a differing interpretation from theirs.

Say they are wrong, fine.

Teach your flock that their interpretation is mistaken, fine.

Make the difference in Dogma a tenet of your religion, fine.

Don't go out in public and challenge them to prove their interpretation, don't call them sinners and damn them to Hell. They just have another interpretation than you. Give it a rest, Jesus does not want contention among the people who believe on his name, quite the reverse, in spite of our differences in interpretation of the Bible, all Christians should get along as well as the different factions of say the Buddhists. The last thing we need is to act like the Muslims and declare holy war on each other.
