Jehovah
Encyclopedia of Mormonism, pg 741; “JEHOVAH. Latter-day Saints believe that Jesus was Jehovah himself, God of Israel, not son of Jehovah.”
Encyclopedia of Mormonism, pg 452; “It was also frequently used interchangeably with Jehovah, the proper name for Israel’s God: “And Jacob said, O God [‘elohim] of my father Abraham…the Lord [Jehovah] which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country”…
Latter-day Saints use the name Elohim in a more restrictive sense as a proper name-title identifying the Father in Heaven…The First Presidency of the Church has written, “God the Eternal Father, whom we designate by the exalted name-title “Elohim,’ is the literal Parent of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and of the spirits of the human race””
Deuteronomy 6:4; “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.”
The word LORD used in Deuteronomy is Jehovah and the word God is elohim so how is it the Mormon Jesus is Jehovah, but not God?
