If you can't stand the heat, dude, find another calling.

You give yourself far too much credit....really.

I note you didn't address the comments by the other church "leaders" and their claims that the mormon god had sex with Mary to conceive...

None of them made that claim. You're projecting your desired outcome onto their statements. If an LDS leader thought God had sex with Mary, they would have said it straight up.

I have a question, totally off the subject (so don't bother crying about misdirection); are there three degrees of glory?

Define 'glory'.


I know that Mormonism teaches there are 3 levels in it's concept of heaven.

Which level will YOU spend eternity?

How many more statements do you want on this topic??

Now, we are told in scriptures that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God in the flesh. Well, now for the benefit of the older ones, how are children begotten? I answer just as Jesus Christ was begotten of his father ... Jesus is the only person who had our Heavenly Father as the father of his body." Prophet Joseph F. Smith, Family Home Evening Manual, 1972, pp.125,126

"The man Joseph, the husband of Mary, did not, that we know of, have more than one wife, but Mary the wife of Joseph had another husband." Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, 11:268

''When the Virgin Mary conceived Jesus, the Father had begotten him in his own likeness. He was not begotten by the Holy Ghost...'What a learned idea' Jesus, our elder brother was begotten in the flesh by the same character that was in the garden of Eden, and who is our Father in heaven." 'Now Remember from this time forth, and forever, that Jesus Christ was not begotten by the Holy Ghost. I will repeat a little anecdote. I was in conversation with a certain learned professor upon this subject when I replied to this idea-

"If the son was begotten by the Holy Ghost, it would be very dangerous to baptize and confirm females and give the Holy Ghost to them, lest he should beget children to be palmed off on the Elders by the people, bringing the Elders into great difficulties."...But what do the people in Christendom, with the Bible in their hands, know but this subject? Comparatively Nothing."—Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 1:50-51
