Does Mormonism really teach this?

[PaulDupre]

From Mormon Wiki article “Great Apostasy”:

Latter-day Saints uphold the glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ. According to the Nicaean and Anathasian Creeds, Christ would have of necessity shed His resurrected body to return to the spirit-entity called the Trinity. Latter-day Saints proclaim that resurrection is the desirable, eternal state, the state of both God the Father and Jesus Christ. If not, then why was Christ resurrected at all? Mormons find the Trinitarian beliefs of the fifth century incomprehensible, the inventions of men.

Do Mormons really think that Catholics and other Christians believe that Jesus “shed His resurrected body to return to the spirit-entity called the Trinity”? Do they teach that Christians believe that while Jesus was on earth, He was no longer a part of the Trinity and so needed to “return” to it? Do they think we believe that Jesus, at His second coming, will appear in some non-corporeal form?

And what part of the Creeds makes it necessary for Jesus to shed his physical body??

This displays an unfathomable ignorance of Christian belief on the part of the Mormons. No wonder they are so easily deceived by their leadership. I am frankly embarrassed for them.

Hi Paul,
I did a study on the Hebrew and Greek on the word “return”. From every use of it that the Mormons seem to use for the “proof” of the pre-existence… the word used describes “not necessarily to the point of origin”. Meaning that return, doesn’t always mean that you were there before. Mormons just don’t get that apparently.

in Christ

I have heard a number of Mormons say this. They ask, "What happened to Jesus’ body after he was resurrected if God is a three in one spirit? They just don’t even begin to understand the doctrine of the Trinity. I assume the Wiki meant to say the Athanasian Creed instead of the Anathasian Creed.

Go to the source and not to wiki. You can have a discussion on ldssocialforums.net I believe. And then see what happens.

Mormons guess at things, it is what the entire religion is based on. Guesses.
