Understanding the LDS Church

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints (LDS Church) is a false church. The LDS church claims to believe in the same God and Jesus Christ as Christians do. However, they do NOT believe in the same God and Jesus Christ as Christians do. Their God and Jesus is every different.

Mormons believe:

• God’s Nature: Mormons believe in a plurality of Gods (D&C 93:17-20) and that God the Father was once a mortal man who became a god through obedience to laws and ordinances (King Follett Discourse). In contrast, traditional Christianity teaches that there is one God in three persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), and that God is eternal and unchanging.

• The Godhead: The LDS Church believes that the Godhead consists of separate gods who are distinct from each other (D&C 130:22-23). This contradicts traditional Christian teaching, which affirms that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one essence in three persons (Matthew 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

• Jesus Christ’s Nature: Mormons believe Jesus is the literal son of God the Father (D&C 93:21) and has a physical body like the Father’s (D&C 130:22). Christians, on the other hand, affirm that Jesus is eternally begotten of the Father (John 1:14; Galatians 4:4) and has a divine, not human, nature.
