Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints, also known as the Mormon Church, was founded by Joseph Smith. He was born on December 23, 1805 in Sharon, Vermont and killed on June 27, 1844 in Carthage, Illinois.1<\/sup><\/a> In his family, there were different views regarding religion. His mother was originally from a conventional Congregational church but later became Presbyterian. His father did seldom go to church. This contrast made Joseph doubt about what the true church was. In 1820 at age fourteen, he asked in prayer what the truth was. He saw, according to own interpretation, God and Jesus as two different personages in a revelation. Nonetheless, the truth of this vision was doubted by a local minister. Certain years later, Joseph wrote the Book of Mormon. This was a translation of the golden plates that he found by instruction of an angel. Later, he began his own church, temples and, settlements. This movement became known as Mormonism.2<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writings of Joseph Smith<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Though the Mormons believe that the Bible is true as far as it is translated correctly, they argue it is not the only Scripture. Regarding this, the following is said in their Articles of Faith, \u201cWe believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly<\/em>; we also<\/em> believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God\u201d3<\/sup><\/a> [emphasis added]. As a Bible translation, the Authorized Version is officially accepted and used, but nonetheless seen as containing errors it. Therefore, they have a revised Authorized Version with the translation notes of Joseph Smith. Interestingly, they admit that this version is \u201cnot the official Bible of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,\u201d though, \u201cthe JST (Joseph Smith Translation) offers many interesting insights and is an invaluable aid to biblical interpretation and understanding.\u201d4<\/sup><\/a> An example of such revisions is in the gospel of John. In the Authorized Version, it is written, \u201cGod is a<\/em> Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him<\/em> in spirit and in truth\u201d (John 4:24). However, in the JST is said, \u201cFor unto such hath <\/em>God promised his<\/em> Spirit. And they who<\/em> worship him, must worship in spirit and in truth.\u201d5<\/sup><\/a> Joseph Smith shows that he denies that God is a Spirit by adding that God promised it. Besides the revision of the Bible, Smith translated and wrote several other books as it was \u2018revealed\u2019 to him. The first book is the Book of Mormon, which is a translation of the \u201cgolden plates\u201d, that appeared on the shelves in 1830. Other \u2018revelations\u2019 were written in the Book of Commandments, later called the Doctrine and Covenants, which was completed in 1835.6<\/sup><\/a> The Pearl of Great Price, written in 1851, also contains a set of selected revelations.7<\/sup><\/a> All these revelations, written in those books, are seen as Scriptures. This writing demonstrates that extra \u2018scriptures\u2019 besides the Bible leads to an unbiblical view of God, as taught by the Latter-Day Saints Church, which believes that the Godhead exists as three different Gods; that Jesus Christ is but a lesser god and spiritual brother of angles, devils, and mankind; and that He was literally conceived in Mary by the Father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

View of the Godhead<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is necessary to know the Mormon view of the Godhead before one is able to understand their view of Christ. Therefore, this issue will be addressed first through demonstration and refutation from the Scriptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polytheistic Gods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Mormon church believes in the existence of God, and at the same time denies the Trinity as expounded in the Nicaean Creed. The creed shows that the Father and the Son are of the same essence, saying, \u201cOne Lord Jesus Christ\u2026being of one substance with the Father.\u201d8<\/sup><\/a> However, in the Mormon Articles of Faith is written, \u201cThe Godhead: The Trinity \u2013 Three personages\u2026(1) God the Eternal Father; (2) His Son, Jesus Christ; and (3) the Holy Ghost. That these three are separate individuals, physically distinct <\/em>from each other\u2026Each of the members of the Trinity is called God, together they constitute the Godhead\u201d9<\/sup><\/a> [emphasis added]. Also, Joseph Smith said the same in a different manner when he wrote, \u201cMany men say there is one God; the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are only one God! I say that is a strange God anyhow\u2014three in one, and one in three!\u2026All are to be crammed into one God, according to sectarianism. It would make the biggest God in all the world. He would be a wonderfully big God\u2014he would be a giant or a monster.\u201d10<\/sup><\/a> Both writings show that Mormons believe in the plurality of gods. At the same time, however, they say to confess the existence of only one God; \u201cAnd they are one God, yea, the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth\u201d11<\/sup><\/a> (Mosiah 15:4). The unity between the Father and the Son, however, is not one of essence, but \u201cin attributes, powers, and purposes of its members.\u201d12<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonetheless, the Bible teaches that there is but one God in essence only. As the prophet Isaiah, says, \u201cI am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me\u201d (Isa. 45:5). As James White says, this and other texts of Isaiah make plain that God is the unique and only God. He writes, \u201cGod made the fact of His utter uniqueness as the only God painfully clear <\/em>through the prophet Isaiah\u2026So we see that the first of Smith\u2019s concepts is directly contrary to the Word of God. There is only one God.\u201d13<\/sup><\/a> Furthermore, concerning the unity between the Father and the Son, Ron Rhodes writes in regards to Hebrews 1:3, \u201cThe word [brightness] indicates not a reflection but an outshining of resplendent light – a shining forth to the world of the very character, attributes, and essence of God in Jesus Christ\u2026[it] is speaking of Christ\u2019s deity<\/em>\u2026Jesus is portrayed as the absolute authentic representation of God\u2019s being in terms of the divine nature<\/em>.\u201d14<\/sup><\/a> He also says regarding Colossians 1:15, \u201c\u2018The image of the invisible God.\u2019\u2026the Greek word eikon<\/em> (\u2018image\u2019) literally means \u2018the very substance of God.\u2019\u201d15<\/sup><\/a> Therefore, when Jesus Christ says that He and the Father are one (John 10:30), it is a unity in essence and not only in attributes, power and, purposes, as the Mormons would define.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God a Bodily Exalted Man<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, Mormons believe that their god has a body and is an exalted man. Their Articles of Faith say concerning that God has a body, \u201cThe Father is a personal being, possessing a definite form, with bodily parts and spiritual passions\u2026we know that the Father and the Son are in form and stature perfect men; each of them possesses a tangible body\u2026a body of flesh and bones.\u201d16<\/sup><\/a> This statement is based on \u2018revelation\u2019 to their prophet Joseph Smith, as written in the Doctrine and Covenants, \u201cThe Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man\u2019s; the Son also; the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit\u201d17<\/sup><\/a> (D.&C. 130:22). Furthermore, Mormons believe that, in the past, their god was just like every other human being but was ultimately exalted. They say, \u201cRemember that God our Heavenly Father was perhaps once a child and mortal like we are\u2026[he] was once a mortal man who passed through the school of earth-life\u2026He became God \u2013 an exalted being, through obedience.\u201d18<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, it can be said that it is ultimately blasphemy to say that God is similar to human beings with even a body. The Scriptures say regarding Him that \u201cGod is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent\u201d (Num. 23:19). Also, the Bible gives surety in regard that God has no body, saying, \u201cGod is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth\u201d (John 4:24). As James White says, \u201cThe God of the Bible will not allow Himself to be put into human categories. He directly denies the idea that He is like a man, and surely He is not a changeable being like man is.\u201d19<\/sup><\/a> Also, when God has a body, He will be limited where He can be present. Therefore, the Mormon view that God is a is like a human being with a body is refuted by God\u2019s Word and the logical conclusion of limitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

View on Jesus Christ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jesus Christ, though He is in the godhead, is believed to be a separate being compared to the Father and Spirit, and therefore a separate god. Nevertheless, the Bible says that there is one God only (Deut. 6:4, Isa. 45:5), and that the three persons in the godhead are one (John 10:30, 1 John 5:7). Furthermore, the Mormon view differs from Scripture regarding Christ\u2019s eternity past, in the term \u2018son of god\u2019, and the virgin birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christ a Subordinate God and Brother of Lucifer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Regardless the fact that Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is \u2018god\u2019, He is it in a different degree than God the Father. He is seen as a spiritual son of God, as are all the angels, devils and human beings. In their Articles of Faith, it is written, \u201cAmong the spirit children of Elohim [that is the Father] the firstborn was and is Jehovah or Jesus Christ to whom all others are juniors…the fact that human beings generally are similarly existent in spirit state prior to their embodiment in the flesh\u2026that He is by spiritual birth Brother to the rest of us.\u201d20<\/sup><\/a> This article demonstrates that Mormons believe that Jesus Christ has the same level as the other \u201cspiritual children\u201d of God the Father, like human beings, and therefore has in a lesser degree than the Father. Interestingly, James White, who did much research regarding the doctrines of the Mormon Church, says regarding this birth, \u201cGod the Father, Elohim, begat a son with one of his celestial wives \u2013 the spirit child\u2019s name was Jehovah, or Jesus\u2026according to LDS teaching, Christ entered into spiritual existence as a spirit-child of God the Father.\u201d21<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to this view, it has to be said that according to the Scriptures, Christ is fully God and equal to the Father. Paul writes, \u201cWho, [ Jesus Christ,] being<\/em> in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal<\/em> with God\u201d (Phil. 2:6) [emphasis added]. Also, as said in Cults and the Occult regarding man\u2019s sonship of God, \u201cWe become the children of God at conversion (John 1:12)\u201d.22<\/sup><\/a> This shows that there is difference between the natural Son of God, and the adopted children by conversion. Furthermore, the distinction between Jesus Christ and mankind is shown in the case of worshiping. The Bible gives various accounts that Jesus was worshiped; \u201cAnd in every instance, Jesus accepted the worship\u2026Jesus considered such worship as perfectly appropriate.\u201d23<\/sup><\/a> On the other hand, when man or angels were worshiped, it was refused. This happens for instance with Paul and Barnabas (Acts 14:11) or with a fellow servant of John (Rev. 19:10). When that is compared with the Scriptures that only God ought to be worshiped, \u201cFor thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God\u201d (Ex. 34:14), the conclusion must be that Christ is God and that He has not the same level as human beings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Mormon doctrine shows that Jesus Christ is the same degree as Lucifer, the devil. This is written in their magazine, Ensign, of June 1986. One asked a question how Jesus Christ and Lucifer could be brothers with such a different character. Regarding this brotherhood, the answer says, \u201cBoth the scriptures and prophets affirm that Jesus Christ and Lucifer are indeed offspring of the Heavenly Father and, therefore, spirit brothers.\u201d24<\/sup><\/a> Though it is agreed that their characters are totally opposed to each other, the affirmation that they are brothers is there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be refuted by the fact that \u201cthe Bible does not <\/em>teach that Jesus Christ was the spirit brother of Lucifer\u2026the entire angelic realm \u2013 including the angel Lucifer \u2013 was personally created by Jesus Christ,\u201d25<\/sup><\/a> as said in Colossians 1:16 that all things were created by Jesus Christ. Interestingly, Rhodes also says that there is a class difference between one who is Creator and the creation, especially angles.26<\/sup><\/a> Also, James White refers in his book the passage of Ezekiel that speaks of Lucifer\u2019s creation; \u201cThou art the anointed cherub that covereth\u2026Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created<\/em>, till iniquity was found in thee\u201d (Ezek. 28:14-15). From both passages, it is sure that Lucifer is a created being and Christ the Creator. Therefore, it is not possible that Christ can be a spirit brother of Lucifer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christ the Only Begotten in the Flesh<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, Mormons believe that the title \u201conly begotten Son of God\u201d has to be understood with Jesus Christ\u2019s coming in the flesh. A number of times when in their writings is spoken of \u201cOnly Begotten Son\u201d, the sentence \u201cin the flesh\u201d is added.27<\/sup><\/a> James White quotes regarding this case Bruce R. McConkie; \u201cThese name-titles all signify that our Lord is the only Son of the Father in the flesh. Each of the words is to be understood literally. Only means only<\/em>. Begotten means begotten<\/em>; and Son means son<\/em>. Christ was begotten by an Immortal Father in the same way that mortal men are begotten by mortal fathers.\u201d28<\/sup><\/a> White says concerning this, \u201cSome have tried to deny that the LDS Church teaches that God the Father is literally and physically <\/em>the parent of the child Jesus. The above quotes\u2026teach otherwise.\u201d29<\/sup><\/a> This confirms that Mormons believe that Christ is the only begotten Son of God, because he was a physical child from God the Father, and that while human beings are only spiritual children of God. Furthermore, it is argued by Wells that there was a physical relationship between a bodily God the Father and the virgin Mary. As said this Mormon says, \u201cThis title [Only Begotten Son] signifies that Jesus\u2019 physical body<\/em> was the offspring of a mortal mother and of an immortal Eternal Father<\/em>\u201d30<\/sup><\/a> [emphasis added]. This shows at the same time the denial that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit. Brigham Young says, \u201cWhen the virgin Mary conceived the child Jesus, the Father had begotten him in his own likeness. He was not begotten by the Holy Ghost.\u201d31<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, the Bible teaches that Christ as a human was begotten by the Holy Spirit and not by the Father, \u201cNow the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost<\/em>\u201d (Matt. 1:18) [emphasis added]. This surely contradicts the teaching that Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father. As James White points out, \u201cThe Holy Ghost began the pregnancy by supernatural means. The Holy Ghost did not have to use sexual means to begin the process growth – God created us, so He knows fully well how we function. Mary was still a virgin, having known no man, including an \u2018exalted man\u2019, at the time of birth of Christ.\u201d32<\/sup><\/a> Therefore, because God, who began the pregnancy in Mary, is Creator, He was able to use supernatural means to conceive Jesus Christ in Mary. Also, as said by White make Mormons the mistake to see God\u2019s Father-Son relation only from a human perspective.33<\/sup><\/a> In conclusion, the term \u2018Only Begotten\u2019 means according to Mormons that the Father literally conceived Christ in Mary. Nonetheless, the Bible refutes this by saying that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, extra \u2018revelations\u2019 of the Latter-Day Saints Church beside the Bible, which are seen as Scriptures, have caused an unbiblical view of the Godhead and Jesus Christ. First, the godhead is believed to be three different beings called god, which unite only in attributes, powers and purposes, ultimately leading to a plurality of gods. Nonetheless, the Bible teaches the existence of only one God, with a unity of the trinity in essence. Secondly, according to Mormons has God a body and is an exalted man that had similar experiences as every human. However, the Bible says that God is not a man but a Spirit. Regarding Christ, Mormons believe that He differs in degree with God the Father, for He is the spirit brother of all mankind and Lucifer. The Bible, on the other hand, refutes it and acknowledges the equality of Christ with God, and says that all things were created by Him, including mankind and angels. Ultimately, in Mormon doctrine, the title \u201cSon of God\u201d means that the Father physically conceived Christ by Mary. Nonetheless, the Scripture teaches that Christ was conceived by the Holy Ghost in a supernatural way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
