What Do Mormons Believe about God

In this program, Dr. Ankerberg and guests, Sandra Tanner, Michael Wilder, Dr. Lynn Wilder, will look at some of the basic beliefs regarding God according to Mormon teachings, including stories from John's guests as former Mormons who explain what life was like and how they turned to biblical Christianity. As we do, we'll find the answers to some of the questions generally held about Mormons along with a deeper understanding of our own Christian faith.

Half of my family here in Chicago are Mormons and always wondered about their faith always thought something was off but now thanks to you I have a little bit more knowledge about that religion

The devil often comes as an Angel of light, it's always best to look before you leap in to anything.

“Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many” (Matthew 24:4-5, King James Version). The deception that is Joseph Smith continues to drag Millions into hell, will you be one of them... or will you come to Jesus Christ

Thank you for opening my eyes to Mormon doctrine and what they believe. Basically they are pagans, ( Witches ), not Christians

[HectorRodriguez-qrdm]

alot of the Mormons teachings are not in the bible. thats telling us something.

[Robinfuckable]

Mohammad saw an angel wrote the Quran
Joseph Smith saw an angel wrote the BoM
Paul the Apostle said, If I or an ANGEL PREACH ANOTHER GOSPEL IT IS AN ANATHEMA.
A Curse by God Forever
Paul said it twice, get the picture

The second Mormon prophet said, "I do not care how you bring 'em, just Bring 'em young." LOL!

[samuelmatz]

Christianity is the only world religion that invites investigation. Fore Truth has no reason
to fear the light to be shined upon it. In fact, God demands it of us, to seek after Him.
Only by the truth He is revealed. Know what the LDS Church believes and is saying,
"They possess the truth." God says: My Children perish due to lack of knowledge.

Let's be real, half of Utah is related to Brigham young

Mormanisn is false but the Roman Catholic church and protestant churches are also false

[GunjurDawahCenter]

i like this host John Ankerberg. he is very honest and not biased i think 

[wisestudent]

There is only ONE God.!!!! Read the True Bible, Not the Mormon revised bible.!!

[HelenEk]

I thought until just recently mormons believed in the same God and Jesus as the Christians. I had no idea they believe there are billions of gods out there that were all humans at some point. Do they believe there are billions of Jesus Christ's out there too? Does anyone know?

[JamesRichardWiley]

Religious belief against religious belief becomes mental chaos. After I gave up trying to make sense of religion I experienced inner peace.

[robbiemckenzie]

I've wondered if former Mormons face the same problems as ex Scientologist

[sharps]

The problem is when you start saying God has a literal Son. God he is One he is eternal he has no beginning and no end CHAPTER CLOSED.

"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens! That is the great secret. ...I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will refute that idea, and take away the veil, ..."

"It is the first principle of the gospel to know for a certainty the character of God, ...and that He was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ Himself did; ...you have got to learn how to be gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests to God, the same as all gods have done before you, namely, by going from one small degree to another, ... from exaltation to exaltation, until you attain to the resurrection of the dead, and are able to dwell in everlasting burnings. and to sit in glory, as do those who sit enthroned in everlasting power" (History of the Church, Vol. 6, Ch. 14, p. 305-6).

"It appears ridiculous to the world, under their darkened and erroneous traditions, that God has once been a finite being" (Deseret News, Nov. 16, 1859, p. 290).

"Our father in heaven, according to the Prophet, had a father, and since there has been a condition of this kind through all eternity, each Father had a Father" (Doctrines of Salvation, 2:47).

"I know that God is a being with body, parts and passions...Man was born of woman; Christ, the Savior, was born of woman; and God, the Father was born of woman" (Deseret News, Church News, Sept. 19, 1936, p. 2).

"The Father is a glorified, perfected, resurrected, exalted man who worked out his salvation by obedience to the same laws he has given to us so that we may do the same" (A New Witness for the Articles of Faith, p. 64)

[kenmcgowansze]

Try out 1 Corinthians 8:5. There are gods and lords - “many” in fact. Once again selective in their scriptures. The doctrine that man could advance to be like their Heavenly Father is clear and scripturally correct; did not Jesus command his followers to “ Be ye therefore perfect even as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” It can’t BE any more clear than that. Isn’t it the object of every created being to become in the likeness of it’s progenitor ? Moreover, the doctrine that man can become God is replete and well established among the early Christians - it wasn’t until the 4th century and after the church fell into a complete apostate state did this doctrine get “pushed out.” If the early 4th century Catholic Church is the “Church of the Devil” as modern Christianity claims it is, doesn’t that make everything that came afterward also apostate ? “Can an evil tree bring forth good fruit (as the Savior said). The Trinitarian doctrine is no-where to be found in any biblical text: it was manufactured in the 5th century by apostate “Christianity” and continues to be peddled in the face of its incoherence and on numerous occasions Jesus prayed to his Heavenly Father - to whom was he conversing ? Himself ? How absurd ! And yet this is what modern “Christians” preach. I know these people - not personally - but I know of their devious doings, that is putting out a false narrative about what members of the Church of Jesus Christ really know and teach. THEY are they whom the Son Of God warned about “deceivers that lie and wait to deceive.” I can also say that the reasons why they left the church is not for the ones they profess here. They left because they found themselves in a condition where they chose their pride over what they knew was right; it always comes down to that. This is so because they now fight against what they once knew was true in order to save face. They can’t help themselves.

The idea one can't be both spirit and flesh is just the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

[blakeatkin]

Jesus said "come follow me." If we do not have his DNA, his invitation would be like a cruel boy taunting his handicapped friend to go for a run. Why would he do that? That is the hope of Mormonism' that we can run the race alongside our brother, Jesus. The same as Paul taught in Hebrews, "for both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren." Heb. 2:11. Your refusal to believe this fundamental doctrine proves God's statement to the boy Joseph Smith "that those professors were all corrupt; that they draw near to me with their lips, , but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof..". Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith History verse 19. Nice program. I invite you to learn more.
