Do Mormons believe in the concept of the Holy Trinity?
We do not believe in the concept of the Holy Trinity in the same way that is put forth by other religions. In a sense we do believe it. We believe that God the Father, Jesus Christ the son, and the Holy Ghost are seperate. So in that way we completely disagree. However, they form a group that is known as the Godhead. Together they act as one in unity and in that way are one God. When Christ prayed to the Father asking that his disciples be one even as he and the Father are one, he was not asking for them to be combined, but united in purpose and action. A modern day example of this idea could easily be shown by attending any of our church services. We have a bishop and his two counselors. Together they comprise a bishopric. Any decisions made concerning the ward is generally done by concensus of this group, and often counselors are treated as though they were the bishop, especially when speaking of the Presiding Bishopric which is over the whole church. Sorry if this wasn’t very clear,
No Mormons do NOT believe in the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. Mormons believe God the Father is a seperate and distinct person (god) from the Son who is a seperate and distinct person (god) from the Holy Ghost. Mormons believe that both the Father and the Son have glorified resurrected bodies of flesh and bone (no blood) and that the Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit. www.mormon.org clearly states that Mormons worship Christ. Mormons also worship the Father in the name of Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Mormons are tri-theists better known as polytheists. There is NO such thing as a Christian polytheist. Mormonism is NOT = to Christianity just as Christianity is NOT = to Judaism. Christianity may have sprung from Judaism, but it is not the same religion. Just as Mormonism sprang from Christianity (19th century protestantism) it is NOT the same thing. Mormonism is NOT Christian!
