LDS are monotheists and believe every word of the Bible. Again, the belief is three divine persons in one God.
LDS disagree with the Athanasian Creed and it's description of consubstantiation.

This is not biblical monotheism. Thrir notion of the Trinity is three separate beings. All this is likr ancient pagan religion.
The big disagreement here is consubstantiation: how different persons are ONE God.They disagree with alot more than that!!
That doesn't address the issue of the God with a body and three separate and independent persons. From an outsider perspective I could not be the referee among them...The big disagreement here is consubstantiation: how different persons are ONE God.
You'd be amazed how many people misunderstand that and the wild weird conclusions spun off that misunderstanding.
Actually, LDS aren't really secretive at all. Just got make sure the background is understood first.
This simply means that that you got to properly understand the background first. After all, if a person is misunderstanding the background on any concept, they're not going to understand anything at all past that. For example:
- LDS are monotheists who believe in the Bible. The difference between Creedal beliefs and LDS beliefs are in how the different persons Father, Son, and Spirit are ONE God together.
- LDS don't believe that God was created.
Etc.

The statements you've been saying aren't actual LDS beliefs. Again, I'm happy to clarify any point.
Not really. We all have different theological concepts that other frequently misunderstand and we've explained a million times and will have to explain a million more. Just like Jews do.I've wondered what a debate would look like between a Catholic, a Baptist, a Mormon, and a Jehovah's Witness....? Sure would be interesting ...
Trinitarians also believe that the Father, Son, and Spirit are different persons. Both concepts are three person is one God.That doesn't address the issue of the God with a body and three separate and independent persons.
Actually the Athanasian Creed specifically states that the Father, Son, and Spirit are three persons: "For there is one Person of the Father; another of the Son; and another of the Holy Ghost."The regular Trinity does not constitute three separate individuals.
"Person" and "being" have two different definitions under Trinitarian theology (that's one reason it's so confusing).I don't recall that the Athanesian creed stipulated three separate divine beings.

CoC aren't LDS, they're CoC. It's a whole different church with different beliefs. They've gone through their own metamorphosis over the years.How is it that only the LDS connected directly with the Utah sect possess the secret beliefs and practices? Were they invented by Brigham Young? Apparently the Community of Christ and other breakaway sects never restricted Blacks, never had the beliefs of a physical God, Kolob, etc., or secret Masonic rituals. If they originated with Joseph Smith wouldn't they also have them all? In any case do the Brighamists and they all consider each other apostates?
That's all dependent on how you define the word "Christian". You'll find answers all over the place depending on the definition.Do other non-LDS consider thr CoC (formerly Reorganized Church) to be Christian if the church doesn't adhere to the beliefs and practices of the Utah LDS even if they still believe in the Book of Mormon? I believe there's another sect that is mainstream Protestant except for believing in the Book of Mormon.
Your question is a lot like: "But well how come Methodists aren't good Renaissance-age Catholics since they trace their roots from there as a split off?".Jane, however the CoC trace their church to Joseph Smith, so why wouldn't they have all those beliefs and rituals unless they were introduced later by Brigham Young?
