I pose this, not as a trick question, but sincerely. To me, a non-Mormon, there are a couple of things that just don’t add up. The one is that Mormonism teaches that the Father and Son are separate Beings. It interprets their oneness that the Bible talks about as a unity of purpose or something similar, but never as a unity of being. But what trips me up is a LDS Scripture like D&C 20:19. “And gave unto them commandments that they should love and serve him, the only living and true God, and that he should be the only being that they should worship.”
The things that strikes me are the singulars (only God. . .only being). Who is the only being that this verse refers to? Who is the only being that should be worshipped? Does this refer to Heavenly Father or Jesus? It seems pretty clear to me that this scripture states that only one God is to be worshipped and, according to Mormonism, “one God” and “one being” can’t refer both to Heavenly Father and Jesus. Therefore my question: whom do Mormons worship?
Or more pointedly, would it be accurate to say that Mormonism does not teach worship of Jesus? The brief article on worship in the manual, True to the Faith, at the very least, causes one to ask that question. It quotes Moses 1:15: “Worship God, for him only shalt thou serve.” In the next paragraph it specifically mentions that prayer is one way to worship the Father. A little bit later it says: “As you reverently partake of the sacrament and attend the temple, you remember and worship your Heavenly Father and express your gratitude for His Son, Jesus Christ.” Again, as a non-Mormon, I find that distinction between Heavenly Father and Jesus quite striking.
The bottom line is that D&C 20:19 states that only one being is to be worshipped. In light of that, I think it is only fair to ask, whom do Mormons worship?
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
It’s easier to “win” that way...

I’m waiting for your reply.....
So...stranger...when will you answer?
Even if it's wrong.
My Jesus is not small; He is mighty to save; He is my Savior; He suffered and died to save me from my sins. I love Him with all my heart. The Holy Ghost is my witness. This is Heavenly Father’s plan.
Please do not call my Jesus “small”. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Church that bears His name.
I will not engage in debate as it is a silly waste of time. I just want to say that I am profoundly offended when you call my Savior “small”.
So is this “I will not debate” the latest LDS tactic. That could work I guess. There is no debating the fact the the LDS is a cult with fictional “scriptures”that insult the very name of Christ...
“So...stranger...when will you answer?”
Answer what? I told you I wasn’t interested in debating. Believe whatever you want. I sure don’t care.
“My Jesus is not small; He is mighty to save”
... Ah, Sandra, you’ve self-identified as a mormon. The mormon Jesus must not be all too mighty, or He could save without your works of worthiness.
The Christian Jesus Christ doesn’t need an assist. Consequently, the mormon Jesus isn’t very mighty.
“Please do not call my Jesus “small”.”
... Ah, Sandra, you’ve self-identified as a mormon. The mormon Jesus is a created spirit being, consequently, a creature.
The Christian Jesus Christ is ETERNALLY GOD - neither created, nor made. Consequently, in comparison, the mormon Jesus is quite small.
“I will not engage in debate as it is a silly waste of time.”
... Ah, Sandra, you’ve self-identified as a mormon. Debates require FACTS, EVIDENCE & LOGIC, which mormonism doesn’t have to offer.
Christianity is based in history, facts, archeological evidence and thousands of years of recorded history.
“I just want to say that I am profoundly offended when you call my Savior “small”.”
... Ah, Sandra, you’ve self-identified as a mormon. Mormons have played the victim card so much that we can assume they are perpetually offended.
... In case you really know the Biblical Christ, “come out from among them and be holy.”
You are a crack up.
Just as well, Reganaut’s knowledge has proven both accurate and extensive based on personal experience and deep research. That is something no amount of spin can over come.
You know what I am offended that mormonISM teaches that Jesus the Almighty is insufficient to Save, that He needs help (after all we can do).
I am offended that mormonISM teaches that satan is the brother of Jesus.
I am offended that mormonISM teaches that Jesus was not only married but practiced polygamy.
I am offended that mormonISM teaches that Jesus did not pay the ultimate price on the Cross but in a garden.
I am offended that mormonISM teaches secret ceremonies and rituals, when Jesus tore the temple vail from top to bottom once and for all on the Cross.
I am offended that mormonISM teaches that Mary had physical sex with God.
I am offended that mormonISM teaches we will be god.
I am offended that mormonISM teaches that just because the name Christ appears in their moniker that makes them Christians. It makes lds Christan the same way living in a garage makes them a car.
I am offended that a liar, thief, pedophile, adulator, murder, prevaricator of crimes called himself equal to and greater than Jesus Christ.
Last month the phrase was “puny”, this month of October the phrase must be “I am not going to debate”. Seriously the lds need to stop reading from the same page, after a few days it becomes obvious they are getting marching orders.
Every month around the first week there is a new phrase, my gosh so predictable.

Schtick, get a new one.
Mormon jesus MASSACRED millions of people in the BoM.
Where’s the chance at redemption for those folks?
I guess the mormon jesus wasn’t capable enough to bring the new law into effect so he had to go “old school” and just wipe millions of people and over 16 cities off the face of the planet.
He’s “your” jesus alright.
Like putting lipstick on a pig.
Careful, the word "eternal" means something different to LDS too.
Hey Sandy, long time! Thought you quit FR. I guess it mattereth after all :-)
