The Mormon God

In Mormonism, God is an exalted man from another planet who has a goddess wife and he has a body of flesh and bones and produces offspring in Heaven with his goddess wife. Does this mean that the Mormon god from another world, when he was man..Does this mean he was a sinner?

 

This is an excellent question to pose to a Mormon. The text below represents what a conversation might look like.

 

Christian: How many gods are there?

Mormon: I don’t know, but I would say many.

Christian: Ok. Do you believe in Heavenly Father?

Mormon: Yes

Christian: Was Heavenly Father always God?

Mormon: Well…no

Christian: Was Heavenly Father ever a sinner in a past mortal existence?

Mormon: I don’t know

Christian: What do you mean you don’t know? How can you not know whether God was a sinner? Do you believe that God was a sinner?

Mormon: Our church doesn’t really talk about that. We don’t have an official statement on that topic. We don’t deal with it.

Christian: You don’t deal with it? Isn’t that really important? If the God you are serving was once a sinner he can’t save you. Only an eternal holy God can save you. Not a god who was once a sinner and attained exaltation and became a god. That kind of god cannot save you. So I’ll ask you again. Did God the Father ever sin?

Mormon: I don’t know. Maybe.

Christian: Did God the Father ever lie?

Mormon: I don’t know, but he could have.

Christian: Did God the Father ever lust?

Mormon: Maybe. He could have.

Christian: Could God the Father ever have been a homosexual?

Mormon: …ummm…ummmm..maybe.

Christian: Friend, if you do not repent of your false god you will burn in hell.

 

Now if you think this approach is tough. You’re right it is tough. Anyone who thinks that God the Father, the great God of the universe was ever unholy, you are not worshipping the true God. When you worship a false god or a god who used to be a sinner or if you don’t know that he was, and is, and is to come, you are worshipping an idol! You will suffer in Hell for that.

 

I don’t speak that way out of arrogance. I speak that to you by the authority of God’s word alone. That is what God says…not me. If you are Mormon reading this there are many Christians who care about you and love you. We do not want to offend you for the sake of being offensive, but we want you awaken you from you false theological understandings. You can come to know the true God who is holy, unchanging, and desires to save you from your sins.

 

Isaiah 43:10 - You are My witnesses," declares the LORD,
         "And My servant whom I have chosen,
         So that you may know and believe Me
         And understand that I am He
         Before Me there was no God formed,
         And there will be none after Me.
