The subject here is the secterian doctrine of the Trinity . . . see my comments after Dave's . . . who is writing to a person affiliated with the street Preachers who descend on Salt Lake City every Mormon Conference . . . Blaine

LDS theology believes the Bible teaches about God the Father, His Son, Jesus Christ who is also a God.....and, the Holy Ghost which is also a God. The Bible suggests these 3 Gods consist of the Godhead. Do not Christians recognize this aspect of the nature of the Godhead of the Bible? Contrast that to your perspective of believing in a Triune God that at the insistence of a non Christian political figure was defined by a group of religious people with diverse opinions of doctrines several centuries after the advent of Jesus. These men were brought together to hammer out a doctrine that was acceptable to the majority of them to keep peace in the kingdom, so to speak. In the process they coined some non Biblical terms (viz triune and trinity) and obfuscated the true nature of the Godhead by introducing a paradoxical dilemma that is only palatable by cloaking it in mystery. After pondering all that, I do find it curious that you would claim Mormons believe a differ ent Jesus than is found in the Bible. BLAINE: That says it all very well, DaveH. We ought to copy the choicer parts of this onto a sign board and put it up at the Fall conference in Salt Lake City, with a heading reading, "Street Preachers' Doctrine Sucks."
