Listen "76. Jeffrey Holland: LDS Reject the Trinity and are "Christian", too (Part 2/2)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Brendon and Skyler continue to go through Jeffrey Holland’s October 2007 General Conference address titled “The Only True God and Jesus Christ Whom He Hath Sent”. This continues the analysis of the LDS treatment of the Biblical doctrine of the Trinity and the historic Christian creeds and confessions. We invite you to worship with us on any Sunday - at First Baptist Church of Provo or Christ Presbyterian Church in Magna. We welcome visitors! NOTE: Joseph Fielding Smith defined the Godhead as “the supreme governing council in the heavens”. (Doctrines of Salvation 1:1) Also, notice how it is Joseph Smith – in the Book of Mormon - who confuses the persons of the Godhead; Smith would be a more apt target than the Trinitarian Creeds that, although they affirm One Being - do not confuse the persons of the Trinity. (see Mos. 15.2-4f; Morm. 9.12; Ether 3.14; 4.12; and JST Luke 10.22 - footnote b) “The Only True God and Jesus Christ Whom He Hath Sent” by Jeffrey Holland Also, Holland: here, and here Lectures on Faith ; JSH-1.19-20 ; BOM Title Page History of Church 6:473-479 (also, here) 2 Ne. 31.21; Mormon 7.7; Ether 4.12 ;Abraham 4 ; Mosiah 15 ; D&C 20.28 ; 121.28,32 ;130; 132 Brigham Young: JD 1.49-51 (and here); JD 4:218 ; JD 11:268 A Marvelous Work and a Wonder; “Strange Creeds of Christendom” by LeGrand Richards Are Mormons Christians? by Stephen Robinson Mormonism: Shadow or Reality? by Sandra and Jerald Tanner An Insider’s View of Mormon Origins by Grant Palmer Mormonism and the Magic World View by D.
