Thanks for the extensive demonstration of my point, Kevin. Looks to me like
the mormons, at least according to the Bom, are Trinitarians. Or "were".
When do you think the mormon apostasy occured and they began to deny the
Trinity? I guess that makes mormons today apostate in their own religion.
That is an intersting situation.

It was not a matter of a few "biased" people believing in the Trinity
Thye following Standard Work shows the Trinity and that there is ONE God.
(Nowhere in the BoM or anywhere else does it say "One in purpose"
Mosiah 15:1,5 I would that ye should understand that God himself shall come
down among the children of men,...
And thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit, or the Son to the
Father, being one God
(Notice the contrast of Son-Flesh Father - Spirit)
Alma 11:28-29 Now Zeezrom said: Is there more than one God? And he
answered, No.
Alma 11:44 every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is
now, or in the body, and shall be brought and be arraigned before the bar
of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one
Eternal God
2 Nephi 31:21 And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way; and
there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be
saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of
Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen.
The Father is a Spirit!
Alma 18:2 Behold, is not this the Great Spirit who doth send such great
punishments upon this people, because of their murders?
Alma 18:24-29And Ammon began to speak unto him with boldness, and said unto
him: Believest thou that there is a God? And he answered, and said unto
him: I do not know what that meaneth. And then Ammon said: Believest thou
that there is a Great Spirit? And he said, Yea. And Ammon said: This is
God. And Ammon said unto him again: Believest thou that this Great Spirit,
who is God, created all things which are in heaven and in the earth? And he
said: Yea
22:8-11 And now when Aaron heard this, his heart began to rejoice, and he
said: Behold, assuredly as thou livest, O king, there is a God. And the
king said: Is God that Great Spirit that brought our fathers out of the
land of Jerusalem? And Aaron said unto him: Yea, he is that Great Spirit,
and he created all things both in heaven and in earth. Believest thou this?
And he said: Yea, I believe that the Great Spirit created all things, and I
desire that ye should tell me concerning all these things, and I will
believe thy words.

It was not a matter of a few "biased" people believing in the Trinity...I
understand that the Trinity was taught in official church educational
materials. In the front of the Bom, there is a statement that affirms the
Trinity (unless it has been changed since I got my version!) Unless I am
mistaken they distinctly state that the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are one
God. That sure sounds like the Trinity to me!
