I would dare say that in the Mormon scriptures, most references to God are speaking of Jesus Christ.

I would also say that according to their theology, Christ resurrected Himself by His own power, as well as ascended into Heaven on His own power. The Father, as they understand the Father, did not do that to, or for, Him. They certainly see Christ as fully God, though they see Him as totally distinct from the Father.

Here’s to the Socratic method! Per your words and Mormon theology, God and Our Savior are equal beings?Agreed. If one is using this kind of analogy to understand Mormons view of Christ, He, too, is a 2, like God the Father
Not a 1.5

It depends on what you mean by equal. They are distinct individuals with distinctly different roles. They are both considered Gods. In that sense, they are equal.Here’s to the Socratic method! Per your words and Mormon theology, God and Our Savior are equal beings?

Yes, I agree with this explanation. They are equals even though they are distinctly each their own individual, with different roles. But when it comes to power and the idea of being “God”, they are equalsIt depends on what you mean by equal. They are distinct individuals with distinctly different roles.

No, this is not Mormon doctrine. God is eternal from all time, while Christ is not. God is the Father. Do you all need reminding of Moses 4?Yes, I agree with this explanation. They are equals even though they are distinctly each their own individual, with different roles. But when it comes to power and the idea of being “God”, they are equals
This is where my point of time and Mormonism comes into this discussion. The Mormon church of today is radically different than of the 1980s. Basically, the Godhead is now the Trinity-lite. I can point out the transgression towards mainstay Protestantism all day long. This is not a revelation.

The interpretation of Mormon scripture has changed a million and one times since the 1980s. As I just mentioned, the Godhead; Mormon’s contemporary view on Our Savior, etc.Please show us where their scriptures have changed since the 80s.

Per Mormonism, acknowledging that, you still think they both abstractly deserve a 2, even though they are not equal?Nobody said otherwise.

The interpretation of who? Give us the source. Saying doesn’t make it so.The interpretation of Mormon scripture has changed a million and one times since the 1980s. As I just mentioned, the Godhead; Mormon’s contemporary view on Our Savior, etc.

The Prophet sets doctrine through revelation. New Prophet, new dogma for Mormonism.The interpretation of who? Give us the source. Saying doesn’t make it so.
How many times will you back pedal before admitting Truth?

OP show love and friendship towards your Mormon neighbours. Realise that they are almost certainly looking to convert you. Remain friends anyway. That is their truth. I told two beautiful young Mormon ladies on mission that I was a newly converted practicing catholic and they still tried to convert me on the street. Pray for them and be kind

Who cares? Nobody cares. You both came off as authorities, which you obviously are not, “despite living it for years.” You were both proved incorrect on your dogmatic interpretation of Mormonism.Who cares what I think?

You have demonstrated clearly that you have no idea what Mormons believe. Just out of cutiosity, how many gospel doctrine classes have you attended?Who cares? Nobody cares.
