I Ask Two Questions About The Mormon Faith And It Mades Me Ask Two More

[Stephen168]

What do the Mormons believe about the trinity and what do they believe about god
dianaiad;4660883:

The problem, first, is what do YOU believe about the Trinity?

What does Bill’s belief have to do with what mormons believe about God?
How is it a problem?

Communication requires that the symbols used (words and language, too) be understood by all the parties as meaning the same thing.

If to me the word “dog” means ‘canine,’ and to you it means ‘male fox,’ there are going to be problems down the road.

You did not answer the question. That is because what Bill believes about the Trinity has absolutely NOTHING to do with what Mormons believe about the trinity. Very irrational.

You are trying to call him and other posters modalist and heretics. Very dishonest.

Quite frankly, whenever I speak to people about it, I find that in a lot of cases they SAY ‘trinity,’ but when they describe the concept, they describe modalism.

Who has even suggested they are modalist?

No, I think it is that we might understand it better than those who describe it to us—
and actually describe modalism.

…and modalism is supposed to be heresy, isn’t it?

Yes, it is a heresy. It has been for about 1600 of years.

We believe that Jesus is Jehovah; that He was God before He was born. Where does that fit in to your claim to know what our beliefs are?

Mormons believe Jesus became A God. You do not believe He is the ONE TRUE GOD Incarnate.

Whether you believe Jesus became A God in a pre-existence or sometime while living or after the Resurection doesn’t matter at all. The fact is that you believe Jesus is one of many gods.
