March 2 — Joseph Smith’s Bait and Switch about God. John 1:1, 14 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

Doctrine and Covenants 130:22 “The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit. Were it not so, the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us.” — 1843
Encyclopedia of Mormonism, p. 548 “Yet God the Father is not one in substance with the Son or the Holy Spirit, but is a separate being. The Father existed prior to the Son and the Holy Ghost and is the source of their divinity.” — Daniel Ludlow

The three LDS references above reveal just how unbiblical Joseph Smith really was.
It wasn’t enough that Smith had to come up with a new god to trick everyone. He also had to throw in the idea that he was worshiping just one god as John 1:1, 14 says.
At the start of his tenure of self-proclaimed prophethood Smith went back and forth about this god of his.
Many people have theorized he started out preaching a trinitarian god, however, his so-called first vision tells otherwise. The first of eleven versions declared two personages appeared to him.
Smith was a master manipulator who like a carnival worker hiding money under a shell, he hid stories about his god in the next speech he gave.
Please pray for Mormons to see and accept the truth as found in John 1:1, 14!

[…] Joseph Smith’s Bait and Switch about God […]
Just like so many other contradictions in LDS “Scriptures,” they just kept making it up as they went along.
Amazing eh? I don’t think I’ll ever get over it!
