    We do not believe in the concept of the Holy Trinity in the same way that is put forth by other religions. In a sense we do believe it.

    We believe that God the Father, Jesus Christ the son, and the Holy Ghost are seperate. So in that way we completely disagree. However, they form a group that is known as the Godhead. Together they act as one in unity and in that way are one God.

    When Christ prayed to the Father asking that his disciples be one even as he and the Father are one, he was not asking for them to be combined, but united in purpose and action.

    A modern day example of this idea could easily be shown by attending any of our church services. We have a bishop and his two counselors. Together they comprise a bishopric. Any decisions made concerning the ward is generally done by concensus of this group, and often counselors are treated as though they were the bishop, especially when speaking of the Presiding Bishopric which is over the whole church.

    Sorry if this wasn't very clear, but I'll recap. We believe that God Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are seperate and distinct, but work as a team and is sometimes referred to as a group as simply God.

    • Narrow minds cannot go beyond narrow thought. Those who understand the Trinity are Christian.

    • Alatea, who's the one with the narrow mind. We don't go around condemning people just because we disagree with them on matters of religion.
