    Mormonism is not an "orthodox" Christian sect. They recognise certain historical facts about orthodox Christianity (that is traditional Christianity), but have re-interpreted many crucial aspects of the faith. According to the orthodox reading of the Torah or the Old Testament, there is only One True God, He has always been God, and always will be God. According to Mormon theology our god was once a man, but through faith and obedience was glorified, became god over us, and now guides us so that we might similarly one day be glorified. No orthodox Jew or Christian would ever accept this scripturally unsupportable thesis, as it violates the Ten Commandments and the most basic doctrine of their faith.

    • Wrong about LD S theology, and wrong about what scripture says.

    • I agree completely. That is what scripture says and we true Christians need not to forget that.

    • God in Mormonism is "ONE" infinite Union of exalted men and women.

    • Like the answer; More than one being that = god = polytheistic no matter how much you hollar "ONE" it's still false.

    • (^ Robert) No, we don*t teach either way whether God was once a man, but most of us don*t believe so. Wanna know why we don*t teach it? We just don*t know. I think there may be something to that, but I*m not going to sell the farm on it.
