September 19 – Things Aren’t as They Seem. Isaiah 9:6; “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

Mormons have this Isaiah verse in the BoM, however they don’t believe in it. Likewise, their 1st Article of Faith also alludes to a belief in the Trinitarian God we know and love in our Bibles, but it isn’t what you think. The wording of this AoF is very tricky so beware! Ask the Mormon you know how their god can be eternal if he was once a man.

Articles of Faith 1:1: “We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.”
When you go to their webpage (LDS), they make it apprear very much like Christianity. It is NOT even similar are the terminology means completely different things.
Check sidebar on this page or search here for Mormon terms.
Good point about the “eternal” god having once been a man.
