God of Mormon vs. God of Bible

Would like to start a post with honest Mormons over the beliefs in God. Including born on a planet, having wives, not being the creator of good and evil or matter. But obeying and being subject to matter and imutable morals. This is the question at hand. Who is God? Or better God the father. It could get confusing if we just ask who is God.

Stop being a slime-ball. Our honesty is above reproach. Your ignorance and bigotry is not our dishonesty.

Including born on a planet,


There is no LDS "doctrine" on such.
Philosophical speculations within Mormonism in a 180 years of history is not Mormon Theology.
Stop following lying anti-mormons!

having wives,

Free Agency is Eternal. God didn't create good and evil, because good and evil are Eternal Principles. That which is Eternal is neither created nor destroyed. God is Eternal, thus he cannot create nor destroy, only change, just by the way as science now recognizes with matter and energy. Nothing is created or destroyed, only changed.

God/Christ is the Creator in the same way someone Creates anything. One takes what is, and using intelligence and power, forms and creates a thing.

or matter. But obeying and being subject to matter and imutable morals.


SAA..... Also, Christ was the perfect exemplar as to who we are, who God is, and who we can and are to become. If you say the Father's nature is different than Christ, then you deny Christ is God. Further, why the games? If God was God, why have a Christ, why have a Holy Ghost if God is "spirit only"? Everything has a purpose, for this life is patterned after our heavenly lives.

This is the question at hand. Who is God? Or better God the father. It could get confusing if we just ask who is God.


SAA.... God the Father is the Most High God. There would be no reason to call him that, unless it meant something. Those of the "Godhead" are also "God" both collectively and as individuals in their calling as part of the Godhead.

Dogmatic, do you think that any writing can give a totally accurate description of a Universal Super Being? That seems to be what you are implying when you speak about a God of the Bible.

by the way, what's up with that Us vs. Them line of questioning? I am certain that it is within the mainstream Christian scope to be inclusive of others with varying beliefs.
