A Comparison Between Christian Doctrine And Mormon Doctrine by OLAADEGBU(m): 4:22pm On Jul 03, 2015
A Comparison Between Christian Doctrine And Mormon Doctrine
by Matt Slick

"Take up the Bible, compare the religion of the Latter-day Saints with it and see if it will stand the test," (Brigham Young, May 18, 1873, Journal of Discourses, vol. 16, p. 46).

What does Mormonism Teach? Well, here are some of the basics, plain and simple.

1. God came from another planet
2. God is a man with a body of flesh and bones
3. There is a mother goddess
4. God and his goddess wife are married
5. You can become gods

Following is a comparison between Christian doctrine and Mormon doctrine. It will become very obvious that Mormonism does not agree with the Bible. In fact, Mormonism uses the same words found in Christianity, but it redefines them. So, with a proper understanding of what Mormonism really teaches, you will be able to see past those definitions into the real differences between Christianity and Mormonism.

The difference is the difference between eternal life and damnation.

Note: When we say "person" in the context of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we do not mean that they are individuals as we people are individuals. Instead, it is meant in the theological sense where a person is seen as one who says "you," "your," "me," "mine," etc. A person speaks, has a will, recognizes one's self and others.

Good to know these differences. About ten years ago, I had an extensive discussion with a Mormon and I noted their advocacy of good works for salvation. About five years later, I spoke with another Mormon and was shocked to see her agreeing that salvation was by grace. In short, she could have passed for any protestant.

That is where the deception lies.

God is a spirit without flesh and bones. (John 4:24, Luke 24:39)

Mormon Doctrine on God:

"The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man's," (Doctrine and Covenants 130:22, Compare with Alma 18:26-27, 22:9-10).

"Therefore we know that both the Father and the Son are in form and stature perfect men; each of them possesses a tangible body . . . of flesh and bones," (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 38).

TRINITY

Christian Doctrine on Trinity:
The Trinity is the doctrine that there is only one God in all the universe and that He exists in three eternal, simultaneous persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Mormon Doctrine on Trinity:
The trinity is three separate Gods: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. "That these three are separate individuals, physically distinct from each other, is demonstrated by the accepted records of divine dealings with man," (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 35).

Christian Doctrine on Jesus:
Jesus was born of the virgin Mary. (Isaiah 7:14, Matt. 1:23)

Mormon Doctrine on Jesus:
"The birth of the Saviour was as natural as are the births of our children; it was the result of natural action. He partook of flesh and blood--was begotten of his Father, as we were of our fathers," (Journal of Discourses, vol. 8, p. 115).
"Christ was begotten by an Immortal Father in the same way that mortal men are begotten by mortal fathers," (Mormon Doctrine, by Bruce McConkie, p. 547).

THE HOLY SPIRIT

Christian Doctrine on The Holy Spirit:

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. He is not a force. He is a person. (Acts 5:3-4, 13:2)

Mormon Doctrine on The Holy Spirit:

Mormonism distinguishes between the Holy Spirit (God's presence via an essence) and the Holy Ghost (the third god in the Mormon doctrine of the trinity).

"He [the Holy Ghost] is a being endowed with the attributes and powers of Deity, and not a mere force, or essence," (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 144).
