Yes, but not tonight...I will write more tomorrow on this. However I would still like to know what you think about the 'Spirit of God, Spirit of Christ and Holy Spirit' issue and how, if we go along with the mormon doctrin, you deal with it. I brought up a page or so back. I think this in itself could clarify some things.
In terms of Trinitarianism, is the Holy Spirit the same person as God the Father or Jesus Christ?
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT: You would ask us to put off our idea of God because the word 'elohim' could be used as a plural or a singular. OK...so what do we do with all of the other names of God which are singular? For example: Lord, Yahweh, Jehova, etc. You would ask me to base my belief, my faith in your idea of 'plural gods' because of one word 'elohim' which is used in the O.T. around 2,500 times when compared to Yehwah which is used 6,000 times? This is not a matter of ruling something out because I don't agree with it...it just doesn't agree with the God I know in the bible.
The problem here is that Jehova only has one meaning, which is "I am that I am," Yahweh, Christ Jesus, the LORD, Redeemer of the world. This does not translate to "God" or "Gods" like "elohiym" does. Any Mormon will tell you that Jehova is the Old Testament name for Christ.
I do not think I have a problem with the word 'Godhead', it is with the definition the mormon church gives it that I have a problem.
Which side are you arguing on anyway?
If this is the case...where is it used?
Do you understand the concept of Trinity as Jedi has explained it? This is where some confusion can come up, I think. Perhaps you should talk to the others here and find out exactly what they believe regarding the Trinity; not everyone has the same idea of what it actually is.
