The Godhead consists of God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. Each member is a different, individual being, yet all three are united in thought, knowledge, power, and purpose. They work together in perfect unity with the hope of bringing all God’s children back to live with Them again.
God is the Supreme Being and all-powerful Father of mankind. He is the literal Father of every human spirit, and every man and woman is created in His image. God-or Heavenly Father, as He is often called-has a glorified, physical body of flesh and bone.
Jesus Christ is the firstborn Son of God and the great example for all people. He is the Savior and Redeemer of the world. Like His Father, Jesus Christ has a glorified body of flesh and bone.
The Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost, is the final member of the Godhead. He is a messenger, revealer of truth, and witness of the Father and the Son. The Holy Ghost is also known as the Comforter; His companionship brings truth, peace, and comfort. He is able to dwell within people because He does not have a physical body and exists only as a spirit.

Isaiah 43:10,11 - “You are My witnesses,” says the Lord, “And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no Savior.”
John 1:1-3 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
i hope you are referring to Jesus Christ
In this verse, the Lord is referring to the practice among Israelites of worshiping other gods along with worshiping the Lord, which is a direct violation of the Ten Commandments. He's essentially saying Ba'al won't save you, Ra won't save you, Zeus, Horus, Marduk, etc. won't save you. Only I, the Lord, can and will save you. Later on in the verse He actually talks directly to the idols as if they were things that could comprehend anything.
Context is important.
Right, ISAIAH says there is no other savior, only one. Only one God is called savior. There is no other is correct. That's refering to Jesus alone. The father is obviously not that one savior. The holy ghost is not that one savior either. Therefore ISAIAH is not contradicting Joseph Smith. There is only one God called savior. That doesn't mean Jesus didn't have a literal father who he prayed to. Truly the Bible supports Joseph Smith and not popular Christian theories.
@@paulgregersen3570 Therés also the Omniscient Kingdom of God as well.
@@paulgregersen3570 Joseph Smith is a false prophet that has received revelations from Satan and has received revelations that have changed the Bible and many verses. Joseph Smith is forever condemned to hellfire & the lake of fire.
“In the beginning [before all time] was the Word ( Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally] with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being.”
JOHN 1:1-3
Facts brother. Tell it.
@@siokifipulu743 Jesus said no man has seen God. So guess what when they looked at him they will not see God because he said it very strictly in the gospel. No, man has seen God that burns when I say in the in the word became flesh. It was the word that became flesh, not God.
@@Magic818100 Yep, the Word became flesh, and the Word was God.
@@Magic818100
Hey brother or sister, I'd encourage you to reread John 1 carefully, and pay close attention to verse 1 (claiming the Word is God) and verse 14 (that the Word became flesh and dwelt among men).
Read Colossians 1:15-20, as well; it helps in explaining this matter. No man has seen God (the Father) because He is invisible. This is true. But, it is also true that Jesus is the full embodiment and radiance of the invisible God.
Additionally Jesus explains it Himself. Here's John 15:8-9 :
Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
John 1, John 15, and the passage in Colossians are just a few of the many examples of passages that has led us Christians to believe in the trinity. I can certainly give you more examples if you'd like.
@@Magic818100 Jesus also said" if you have seen me, you have also seen the father."
Truth and clarity will rarely be popular, and yet we preach it anyway. I'm grateful for that.
Jesus is the way the truth and the life Jesus said no one comes to the father except through me (Christ Jesus) turn to God JESUS is the only way to everlasting peace and love and happiness in Life Jesus is the way to heaven Jesus is coming soon repent trust in Jesus alone for the payment of your sin Grace through faith you are saved
Yay
What did Stephen see when he looked up to heaven before he was stoned, he saw the son of man sited and the glory of God, so it means they are not three people sitting on the throne. If you have seen Jesus you have seen the father. Because Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God.
@@lsam7661God the father is not invisible but we have to be changed to look upon him as he has a different glory to us. Like the sun
I love your videos please make more of them. Really a great help to publish our beliefs and doctrine. It helps more of our struggling members. Good job
I know this to be correct father and Son are at one in heart and want the same things and the holy spirit is what connects to their hearts so that we may follow what's on their hearts
Good Job very well explained. Thank You!
So beautifully put. So easy to understand. God loves us and sent His Son as a man to save us.
Andrea Vai there is no god but god and you should have non others before me
The Word was God, the Word became flesh, Jesus was the Word in flesh, Jesus is God
The one and only example for mankind to imitate.:-)
And I came to learn about Mormons only today.
What have you learned about latter-day saints that you appreciate?
@Tom Jenkins Just so you're aware, you've responded to a question that was directed toward someone else. Do you know much of anything about the Church of Jesus Christ?
@@00Fisher00 you forgot to add the words "Latter Day Saints". Those two missing words will help people understand the difference between an actual Church of Christ and a false Church of Christ.
What do you think about the church?
@@SupremeOverkill I didn't forget; I was merely being descriptive instead of using the longer name of the Church. The Church of Jesus Christ in the latter days, whose adherents are referred to as "saints" after making the covenant of baptism to follow Jesus Christ, is called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I'd be happy to tell you more about the Church so that you can receive greater blessings from God.
May I, as a non-Mormon Christian, say that I completely agree that the Father and Son are separate entities?
I believe in God the Father and His Son who is Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is an indestructible work-force that both God and Christ control. The Holy Spirit cleans the mortal soul.
I was once a non-denominational individual who went from church to church myself. Then, a few years ago, my heart was opened to the possibility of the Book of Mormon being true scripture (it had been completely closed to that possibility before that time). Now , I'm a baptized member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
I was looking for 'the true church' for all those years I considered myself non-denominational (and for the couple years I was a non baptized member of the Jehovah's Witnesses prior to falling out of it.) I believe I have found the church on earth closest to Heavenly Father. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.
I think it just makes sense. We have additional passages of scripture these days that clarify things, but even just looking at the way that Jesus prays in John 17 that his followers may all be "one" as He and the Father are "one", it just makes sense to understand their unity as not being the same actual person.
I'd have to question the term "Christian" if you do not believe in the Trinity. Why, may I ask, do you believe God and Christ to be separate entities? Is that biblical? is it theologically sound? What are your reasonings?
@@esava44 It's very Biblical (though Christianity predates the Bible) and it's theologically sound. In response to one of your other comments above, I listed John 17:20-22; studying that passage should make clear that Jesus desired the same unity for His followers that He and His Father had. It wouldn't make sense if he wanted us all to be the same entity. Numerous other passages in the Bible only really make sense if they are separate entities; even the fact that He is talking to His Father there, or the fact that the Father spoke from Heaven when Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River, only make sense if there are two personages. After the Apostles were lost, so was much truth, and other ideas were introduced. Have you ever heard of the Johannine Comma? It's a few words that were added to the Bible in order to give greater support to the idea of a Trinity. It's bizarre. The word Trinity never even appears in the Bible, or at least it didn't in any early translations. I don't know if it has been used in any newer translations, but "Godhead" is the term that was originally used, and is still present in the KJV among others. Many of us have been raised with traditions of belief that aren't quite right, but God will reveal truth to those who seek it. I would invite you to read the Nicene Creed (or any similar creed) and then to read the account of Joseph Smith's First Vision (which can be found at www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/pgp/js-h/1, in verses 13-17 in particular). Then judge for yourself which is sound and accommodates reason.
I'm strongly considering converting from the Catholic church to the LDS. I've never felt connected to God when learning about it from a catholic viewpoint. Ever since I started looking in to mormon beliefs I have felt a connection to god, and like there is a greater purpose to my life
Ryan Dryja watch the most recent general conference. Specifically the proclamation issued by Russell M. Nelson a few days ago. This will get you some good information.
@Ryan Dryja, thank you for sharing. We're glad you're here! Have you been in contact with missionaries from the Church? They would be happy to teach you more about the gospel of Jesus Christ, and answer any questions you have about joining the Church. You can request a video or voice call from missionaries here: comeuntochrist.org/contact. Let us know if there's anything more we can do to help. Take care!
Hey @Ryan Dryja, out of curiosity, were you able to get in contact with the missionaries?
Jesus is the Image of the Invisible God. He is God Manifest in the Flesh. Mormonism is a different gospel and a different Jesus
Jesus was Not Created, he was the 1st born from the Dead. He is the Eternal Word of God
Amen!

Read John and do not use the "The Father & I are one" verse as an excuse to further push your lies and confusing 'Christian ideology'. You never knew Jesus nor the truth and so you go forth and prosecute those who know the truth and know of Jesus Christ, our Lord & Savior, and the Son of God who is a separate personage from His Father in Heaven, who is our God and His God as He has declared in the Bible itself. Read throughout the Bible and you'll see, Jesus prays to the Father. If He was the Father, He wouldn't pray to Himself. The whole Bible goes against the 'doctrine of the trinity'.
Thank u kings of kings for this unveiling to my eyes as well I love walking with u
Wow!
the real Peter Griffin is a mormon?!?! epic
John 4:24 King James Bible
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
We believe in God the Father, in the Son who is Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost, or Spirit of God, definitely makes our worship to be as it should.
Yes indeed
If you're talking about God the Father, you wouldn't be entirely correct. How could a supreme being NOT have something WE mortals do??? Jesus was given a physical body just like His, our Heavenly Father's body. A body of flesh and bone.
@@bobbq8380 We have sin, and all the results of it. We have limits. we have guns. We have plenty of things that God does not have, because God is more that just supreme. He is perfect. we have imperfections while He does not. The fact that God is eternal means he doesn't have a beginning. Flesh and bone is something God gave us, not because he had his own, but because he is creative and can create things that didn't previously exist. I think he has form, but not a physical body because as the bible says, God is spirit. Jesus wouldn't have said so if he wasn't.
@Carlos Benz And why not? The word "spirit has multiple definitions based on the context. In this context, the word "spirit" is used in two different ways. The verse (John 4:24) states "God is spirit" to denote that he has no physical body. Why would he, since He created the physical universe including that which makes up man's physical body and therefore exists outside said universe? The verse further says "His worshipers must worship Him in the Spirit and in truth." Note the use of the word "the" before the word "Spirit." This conjunction transforms this usage of the word "spirit into a reference to the Holy Spirit. As in, we must worship God in the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit. For, as stated in the previous verse - John 4:23 - they (those who worship in the Spirit and in truth) are the worshipers the Father seeks." As an anti-example, take the Pharisees. They worshiped in word and deed alone and were rebuked repeatedly. They "worshiped" God for the sake of prestige and honor. The Spirit was not in them, nor did they worship in a spirit of truth.
Hebrews 1:1-3 GOD who at various time and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, (NKJV)
1. Last semester in school, I had a religion class which helped me identify the foundations of the restoration. One of the things we talked about was the Godhead. My professor helped me understand the context of the early Christian church shortly after Jesus Christ left. The main religion was Greek philosophy, which includes the belief of gnotism.
Gnotism is the belief that the physical world is evil. To the ancient Greeks, gods were not fully human, because humanity itself was evil. This belief impacted the early Christian saints greatly. Some believed that Jesus Christ was a spirit, only appearing to have a physical body, while other saints believed that He didn't really die, and thus wasn't resurrected.
Learning this, I could see and understand how this prominant belief effected the early Christian church, especially when there was no leadership on the earth to guide them.
2. The Godhead (as three seperate beings) fulfills the law of witnesses:
"In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established" (2 Corinthians 13:1).
Didn't Jesus, Himself, say,"I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true." (John 5: 30-32, KJV)? Didn't Jesus, Himself, also say, "It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me" (John 8:17-18, KJV)?
3. I can further testify that the Holy Ghost is powerful enough for his influence to surround the world, yet small enough to reach each one of us individually.
Those scriptures don't speak to separate entities. They speak of a God who transcends our understanding of "being" in which God is made manifest in His creation in 3 beings. That same book you quoted, John, Says that in the Beginning. was the Logos and the Logos was with God and.....wait for it....was God....and the Logos became flesh and dwelt among us.
@@esava44 Those passages absolutely speak to separate entities. I"d be happy for you to respond to my questions in other comments.
@@00Fisher00 Gnosticism is not one set of ideas but many. Gnosticism (from Ancient Greek: γνωστικός gnostikos, "having knowledge") is a collection of ancient religious ideas and systems which originated in the first century AD among early Christian and Jewish sects.
These various groups, labeled "gnostics" by their opponents, emphasized personal spiritual knowledge (gnosis) over orthodox teachings, traditions, and ecclesiastical authority. They considered the principal element of salvation to be direct knowledge of the supreme divinity, experienced as intuitive or esoteric insight.
Generally, Gnostic cosmogony presents a distinction between a supreme, transcendent God and a blind, evil demiurge responsible for creating the material universe, thereby trapping the divine spark within matter. Many Gnostic texts deal not in concepts of sin and repentance, but with illusion and enlightenment.
Gnostic is defined as a prominent heretical movement of the 2nd-century Christian Church, partly of pre-Christian origin. Gnostic doctrine taught that the world was created and ruled by a lesser divinity, the demiurge and that Christ was an emissary of the remote supreme divine being, esoteric knowledge (gnosis) of whom enabled the redemption of the human spirit.
The Ancient Greeks had many sects and cults which followed the Olympic pantheon of gods and goddess which is 100% separate from Gnosticism.
@@esava44 the video mentioned God The Father God The Son and God the Spirit.
In the begin was the word and the word was with God (God the Father) and the word was God (God the son) because we know John is Talking about Jesus. Its clear as day.
@@AnnaBellaChannel That's interesting, but I must say that I don't know why you're directing the thoughts to me.
Thank you so much clear video, time and effort you put this together. Thanks again. We all learn together and edify, uplifted.
According to the teachings of the church, The father son and the holy Ghost are one ( John 10:30, 1 John 5:7), not one in substance as trinitarians understand, but they are one or united in purpose,Power,knowledge,desires,and thoughts ( John 17:11,17:21-22 )
Personally I enjoyed viewing the clarifying, concise, scriptural-documented, illustrated portrayal of the LDS beliefs regarding the God Head. It will be a pearl to share with those who may learn from it, but not one to cast before those who will only ridicule.

Actually this is really good. I probably will end up being a Mormon. You are lovely people. xXx
@@kimfawcett1725 That is kind of you to say. Faithful latter-day saints are genuinely striving to love others as Jesus did.
The truth is a wonderful thing. I encourage you to study the Book of Mormon and pray to God to ask Him if it is indeed His true Word, alongside the Bible. When He answers your prayer, that answer will be of limitless value and help strengthen your faith. Please feel free to reach out with any questions that you ever have.
@@kimfawcett1725 Thanks. We actually have elders and sister missionaries who are called and ordained to take this message to others. I became a Mormon in 1971 and my dad sent me on a mission in 1972. Yet he remained a Southern Baptist and resisted all efforts of conversion. While on my mission, I met a regional rep to the Twelve who heard about the story of my joining the church. While discussing my story with him and about my dad, he stopped me for a moment and then told me that my father would join the church. "Maybe not now," he said, and I said, "You mean in the next world?" and he smiled and said no, that he would eventually join the church, and that it would be in his lifetime.
Would you believe he did join the church in 2006? He startled me one day by asking me to baptize him, and the following year we were sealed in the temple. Shortly thereafter he passed away. So talk about close calls!
If you seriously want to learn more about the church, you can go to lds.org and find a meeting house. Oh, and we have a general conference coming up on October 5-6, and you can watch it there. Or if you want to be visited in your home, I can give you my email and I can arrange it. I think if you pursue it, that you'll find the same fascinating things I did. For example, check out:

Thank you for clarifying my mind about the Godhead. The Father God, The Son Jesus Christ/The Word and The Holy Ghost are all in one.

Here's an easy way to look at the trinity, Shing.
The Father is God.
The Son is God.
The Holy Spirit is God.
The Father is not the Son.
The Son is not the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is not the Father.
This is the doctrine of the trinity. Trinity isn't a word that's found in the bible. It defines what we see when we read the bible; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Book of Mormon, although based on a lie, did teach the trinity in its early days: one God in three persons, but was later changed as Joseph Smith began to lose his mind. The Mormon Church does believe in one God. They believe in many gods.
@@rickdavis2235 You don't understand what the Church of Jesus Christ teaches, and you don't understand what the Book of Mormon is, so it would be best for you to refrain from speaking as if you do. Review John 17, where Christ was praying to the Father, and take a close look especially at verses 20-22, where He said, "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be cone in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one". The unity that the Father and Son have is the same kind of unity we can have with Them. That is what He desired.
@@rickdavis2235 You didn't watch the video or didn't understand it.
The book or Mormon is true, I share Joseph Smiths testimony, that in he said: “I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.”
Trinity is a word ... Googled the definition. Here's what I found:
Trinity - NOUN
the Christian Godhead as one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
A group of three people or things.
noun: trinity; plural noun: trinities
"the wine was the first of a trinity of three excellent vintages"
One God, in 3 persons. Separate beings.
Nope. They share one purpose, they are not in one. I testify along with Jay and Chay, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true church on earth. I testify that Joseph Smith was the Prophet of the Restoration. I testify that the Godhead is the truth and that the "doctrine of the holy trinity" is an abomination. I testify Jesus is the Son of God and that Heavenly Father had sent Him into this world to redeem us from our sins. I testify that the promptings of the Holy Spirit is always with us and tells us of the truth of all things. I testify the Book of Mormon is true alongside the Old and New Testaments plus D&C, the Pearl of Great Price and even the translated bible by Joseph Smith.
@@rickdavis2235 Inaccurate. The trinity is what causes confusion and therefore, the Lord has already declared it to be an abomination of understanding the nature of God. You do not understand the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ, you don't understand the beliefs of us Latter-day Saints, therefore, you do not know the truth. I testify alongside Jay Britton Fisher that you must refrain from causing more confusion. Jesus prayed to the Father, He never prayed to Himself. Jesus called God His God as well as saying the Father is our God, so He isn't God, He is the Son of God, given that divine authority by the Father in Heaven. Jesus also said, "Written in your law, if two witnesses testify of the same thing, then it is true." We have three witnesses here testifying that everything we say is the absolute objective truth.
The truth always wins. God always wins and you have clearly lost.
Thank you so much, this is wonderful and a great explanation!!

Thank you anime profile 🙏
But everything Christ says points to him and God being one. You forget John 1:1-14 where John states that they are the same. In Mathew 24:35 Christ States “The heavens and earth pass away, but my words never pass away”. To the Jewish people listen to the teachings of Christ, they would have known for sure that Christ was applying the words of Isaiah 40:8 to him which says “the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever”. Now the Mormon response would be well this is mistranslated, but my response to them is if you learn Greek-Aramaic and Hebrew, the document, which would be the same Paul would’ve had don’t have different meanings for these translations. There are many more examples of Christ claiming to be God, and while there are examples of separation there are greater examples of being one. Water is a great example of this. Ice,steam, and water are all the same molecularly, but they are all different and can be in the same presence of each other while being the same. In fact there are many things in this life that are different but the same thing. Mormonism tries to explain an infinite being and makes promises God speaks against. Joseph Smith even gave a sermon that claims if we work hard enough we can become Gods. Isaiah chapter 14 talking about the fall of the king of Babylon talks about how if you try to be God or greater than Him, you will fall. Even Adam and Eve wished to know like God and wanted to become more on His level just to be kicked out of the Garden of Eden and get humanity cursed with death. I really pray that Mormons begin to really search for God rather than to pray to something with doubt and be preyed upon by the enemy! Look and you will find, because the wages of sin is death but the gift to though who find faith in the one true God is life!
@@jackhardy8276 "One" does not mean "the same being". You can see this in Jesus' own words. In John 17, Jesus prayed to the Father and use that very word--"one"--several times. It's instructive to review His words. Verses 20-22 are especially helpful: "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one". You can see that it wouldn't make any sense for Jesus to pray that His followers would be the same being. Rather, that unity is something else. The unity of God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Ghost is unity of purpose and will, demonstrated most especially when Jesus prayed to the Father and said, "Not my will, but thine, be done."

Thank you for this wonderful and inspiring video.
Exo 33:20, so tell me again how Mr Smith looked upon the face of THE MOST HIGH.
Amen brotha
His account available online should you desire to read it. I take it that you are suggesting that it couldn't have happened, based on that passage of scripture. Sometimes it is difficult to reconcile a passage like that with other accounts, even those from the Bible, of people seeing God. Have you considered those passages? How do you reconcile those?
@@00Fisher00 I surely do. However, there are eight times that The Most High took on one form or another. Burning bush,three times as a man, and four times as an angel. Now I have a question for you. Who would you say are the Hebrew Isrealites of the bible today? Not isrealies, they are self professed spiritual self grafted. Who would you say are bloodline Isrealites today? The chosen people above all nations. Don't cut yourself with a self serving answer. Remember there are 12 gates for the 12 tribes, not one for all. It does not work that way my friend. Beware what bibles you read, and whom's word you follow on earth. Man's doctrine is just that, MANS DOCTRINE. God does still have a special set aside people on the face of the earth. And Isrealies are not them. I am sure you have walked right by many of them in your lifetime. And I hope you didn't look down upon them. We were cut off from being a nation, but we have awakened to bring light to the world.
Also remember when he took these forms he was always alone, and never with anyone or anything else.
Jay Britton Fisher nope because God made it plain that we in our physical bodies cannot handle to literally see God in all his glory for our tainted souls will perish before Christ came. Numbers 18:21-22 states how the Israelites couldn’t come near the tabernacle where God dwells or else they will die from their sins within them.

I and my Father are One. John 10:30
By reading on, we can better understand the unity of the Godhead. Just a few chapters later, In John 17, Jesus prays to His Father. His words in verses 20-22 are, "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one". We can someday have the same unity with The Father and Son that they have and be united in purpose as we submit our will to the Father's and receive salvation through the grace and power of Christ. That is what Jesus desired as He prayed.
The Godhead is one being with three personages. This is clearly explained to us throughout the Old and New Testament. We know that God (the Father) is a spiritual being. But as the Father, God humbles himself to come to earth and take on the body of a human to live among us. Jesus was not made; He was begotten by God. His spirit (Holy Ghost) is always with us, guiding us. Peace!
And then God the Father who is also Jesus says to himself, like a ventriloquist I guess, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I Am well pleased."
You're kind of right; read John 17:20-22 for insight as to the unity of these three beings and how Jesus desires for us to achieve it also.
I believe in the trinity
Thank you.
Amen 🙏in Jesus Cristo
Perfect! .. As others like you mentioned may know also as the"Trinity"and although not mentioned in the Bible as the Trinity , but to also add.. Trinity is 3 in one..3 septate entities, One Power. All have separate rolls but all one supreme power, hence The Godhead ❤️. Prefect perfect perfect! 🙌
Much of Europe believed in Arianism before the trinity was developed through the nicene creed. In Arianism was the belief that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit were separate beings.
David Noot Yes,which is what the trinity teaches. Very much as mentioned in the video.
Faith in Jesus Christ: Essential to Salvation and Exaltation
Faith in Jesus Christ not only brings blessings in this life, but it is essential to our eternal salvation and exaltation. Scripture declares, “All men must repent and believe on the name of Jesus Christ, and worship the Father in his name, and endure in faith on his name to the end, or they cannot be saved in the kingdom of God.”28 The Lord also holds parents responsible to teach their children to have “faith in Christ the Son of the living God.”29
I testify that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. He is our Creator, Savior and Redeemer,30 Advocate with the Father,31 Deliverer,32 and Jehovah of the Old Testament.33 He is the promised Immanuel,34 the anointed Messiah,35 and our great Exemplar.36 One day He will return to rule and reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.37 Eventually, we will each stand before Him at judgment day.38 I pray for each of us that our individual faith in Him will be acceptable.

David Noot No, it was well established that the trinity was orthodox, the council of Nicaea was only help BECAUSE of the rise of Arianism, to set the trinity in stone, even though it was the widely held belief.
But it's wrong and tiny minded. The Trinity is the truth. Three separate yet one. It's a concept it seems only Catholics don't fear.
The issue for me about the trinity doctrine, is the belief that three persons are one substance/essence/being. If you study the scriptures, you will find that this doctrine was never taught by anyone in the scriptures. It is arrive at by the creeds, it is man made and a philosophy by men and now a tradition for many centuries. Yet it is not taught by anyone in the scriptures. Many will say, yes it is, but truthfully it is not, it is inserted or inferred into scriptures as was shown in this video. John 10 I and my Father are one. Is this teaching the trinity, that three persons are one substance/essence/being or is this teaching the same teaching as John 17 that the Father and Son are one and we can be one with them? That is the question that needs to be answered as we study the scriptures.
Question for my Mormon friends:
What must I do to be saved?
Repent of your sin, trust in Jesus.
Exercise faith in Jesus Christ, repent of your sins, receive baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands by one who has proper authority from God to perform those ordinances. Then endure to the end. There are other important details if interested.
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ, I recommend this passage from the Book of Mormon: churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/31 . I could summarize it, but it's better to go right to the source.
Steven said it right, I might add. did you mean saved or exaltation. They are different. good luck on your journeys through life
The Bible is the Word of God. @davidbermudez there you will find The Way.
Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!
LDS is quite fascinating, namely in terms of theology and metaphysics.
Plenty of references in the Bible reveal Jesus, the Son, standing to the right of God.
God and Jesus are separate, physical individuals: This is an important restored truth. God and Jesus are One in purpose, just as Jesus says we may be “one” with them (John 17:21)
He sits at the right hand of God the Father, because He's God the Son.
AJ V The Trinity is not modalism,please educate yourself.
5winder so why is he sitting on God’s right hand? Also why does he pray to himself? Also, on the mount of transfiguration why does he talk to himself?
God is Spirit, Jesus is God incarnate, God in the flesh. Jesus still has a body that can be seen and felt. He is still God.
Nope. "I and the Father are one" John 10:30
im not a Mormon but the way they view the Father and Christ is more biblical then Most Christians
Yes. True. I think you are correct. There is much good out in the world. This gospel of Jesus Christ expands and completes the fullness. Perhaps, you would like to read the Book of Mormon (Another Testament of Christ)? You can get a free copy, or read it free online or in the app. That may be interesting to you.
Get some clarity and talk to a priest. This is not a biblical theology
@@jakoblutz1892 Any of us can search scripture for ourselves. For example, we can ponder John 17:20-22, which helps us understand the doctrine taught in this video.
Best explanation that makes sense I would love to be able to receive the holy ghost how would I know what happens
That's amazing that you want to receive the Holy Ghost! The gift of the Holy Ghost is awesome and the feeling that you receive varies per person, but it overall provides a feeling of love and calmness. If you'd want to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, you'd first need to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Ladder-Day Saints, which to start you'd be taught by missionaries of the church! www.comeuntochrist.org/belong/meet-missionaries This website talks about what missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are and what they do and how they can help you come unto Christ, and eventually receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost!

What did Stephen see when he looked up to heaven before he was stoned, he saw the son of man sited and the glory of God, so it means they are not three people sitting on the throne. If you have seen Jesus you have seen the father. Because Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God.
@@lsam7661 Acts 7:55-56 reads, "But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God." He saw God, and Jesus on God's right.
To answer your question my friend, you could seek out a near by church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, and look for the bishop or any duo in there with a black name tag, they can then help you feel the spirit, and then you can choose when your ready to continue after that🙂
Joseph Smith didn’t study the Bible too hard, and based his religion off of things which directly contradict the Bible, the one and only word of God
Actually Joseph Smith did study the Bible, but as a prophet he received revelation from God directly and gave God's word to the people, just as Biblical prophets did before the Bible existed. May I ask you about your faith? I know why I study the Bible, but why do you consider it to be God's word?
Jesus is the way the truth and the life Jesus said no one comes to the father except through me (Christ Jesus) turn to God JESUS is the only way to everlasting peace and love and happiness in Life Jesus is the way to heaven Jesus is coming soon repent trust in Jesus alone for the payment of your sin Grace through faith you are saved

How about just the Gospel as found in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. And as expounded upon in the rest of the New Testament? Does restoration need done to that which is already inspired by God?
@@esava44 Yes, when such misunderstanding abounds. When you study the Book of Mormon, you will understand. Latter-day Saints around the world are currently studying the New Testament more in our homes and churches and are finishing up the books you mentioned, ready to continue with the epistles next, but we also study the other scripture that God has given us. The Restoration is about more than just new scripture, though. Feel free to visit ComeUntoChrist.org sometime and visit a local congregation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to learn more. You will not regret it.
Christ said:
"The father is greater than I"
John 14:28
Jesus said that during his earthly life. He later (toward the end of His life) said this:
John 17: 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
He also said "I and the Father are one" John 10:30
@@esava44 It's a good statement, and one that we should understand properly. Later in the same book of scripture we get clarification, in chapter 17, verses 20-22: "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one". Jesus, speaking to His Father, clearly stated His desire that all of His followers should one day have the same unity that He shares with His Father. He wants us to be "one" also. Understanding the unity that the Father and Son have helps us to seek and gradually achieve that same unity.
Thank you for this.. makes total sense... i mean Muslims mocked Christianity - like was Jesus praying to himself, or on the cross when he was suffering...
Christ has no beginning and no end he is God .... the father the son and holy Ghost are 3 different but one they are all God! Never created never destroyed
Thought we didn't say Mormon anymore?? ;)
Dakoda In the official communication from the church, they clarified that materials specifically for people that are getting to know the church will be slower in changing because of the association that people make with that name. If you’ll notice,”Mormon” only appears in the description, but the narrator uses the full name for the members in the video. Awesome question!
The fact of the matter is that for so many years we used Mormon as shorthand and got into a habit. I think Pres. Nelson caught the rest of the Church flat footed, so we are all now struggling to adapt.
We don't but that is the only name many people know,
Hey Dakoda! Thanks for your comment. We hope individuals will find this video when they search UA-cam for information about Mormons. When they watch the video, we clarify that the “Mormon Church” is properly referred to as “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” As we work to teach people online, you can do your part by helping friends and neighbors understand the proper name of the Church. Thank you!

only Jesus can say "I AM" because He is God the son. the fact that you have "IAM" in your name is claiming deity and is blasphemy... along side you being "IAM" and a sinner blows my mind how deceived people are. Truth with love...

Is it possible to update the title of this Video from "What Mormons Believe about the Godhead" to "What members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe about the Godhead"?
Important to note is their belief that Father, Son and Spirit are separate beings (a denial of monotheism), that the Father necessarily has a body (a denial of God's transcendence) and that Jesus was created (a denial of his divine, eternal nature). Mormonism as a restoration of a kind of polytheism or tritheism is a fundamental departure from the Christian faith.
When you intentionally misinterpret the beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ and then claim to refute them, it doesn't do any good. It would be better for you to seek understanding.
Welcome to one of the oldest arguments in Christianity. Over the centuries, bloody wars have been waged over this question. It certainly didn't begin with Joseph Smith or the Mormon Church.
The truth is found in the dying words of Jesus Himself, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
Jesus didn't say "I forgive them, for they know not what they do."
The Savior's last breath and dying words, was a prayer, directed to His Father.
As a former Catholic and Baptist, it made so much sense to me when I heard that the Godhead were 3 distinct people. The concept of the Trinity never made sense to me, and it actually kept me from believing in Christ for a long time.
The restored Gospel just makes sense, all the pieces fall together so perfectly.
"2 Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.
3 Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation;" D&C 8:2-3
si comprehendis non est Deus - St. Augustine
@@kp3871 you're right, I do not understand the three headed beast of the Nicene creed. I worship the god of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The Great Apostasy happened when Church fathers started mingling Greek Philosophy with the Gospel established by Christ. That's why we needed a restoration
John 10:30 says, "I and the father are one"
That is correct, it is explained in the video.
And what does that unity mean? We gain more understanding with further study. A few chapters later, we read of Jesus praying to His Father in John 17. In verses 20-22, He said, "Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one". Jesus wants us to have the same unity that He has with God the Father. As they are united in will and purpose, someday so can we also be, through the power of Christ.

@troy fernandez exodus 33:11 speaks of when GOD descended down on his cloud speaking to moses face to face like any other person would but while he is on his cloud not showing his face. But keep on reading the chapter and exodus 33:20 GOD tells moses he may not see his face because no man shall see him and live. The whole time moses kept asking him to let him see him and that’s what GOD told him.
The traditional Christian concepts of the Trinity are both self-contradictory and contradict the scriptures. In particular, in the Garden of Gethsemane, when Jesus is suffering for the sins of mankind, He says "Father, if it is Your will, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will." How can one being ask itself for permission, then acquiesce its will to itself?
The Trinity is one being with three persons, each coequal and coeternal, neither confounding the persons or dividing the substance.
@@jonathankotyk3075 one in purpose desire and will, separate in identity and form (and thus still their own beings) is how I have come to understand it in the time since I joined the church (I'm a convert who has been a member for a couple years now)
This video seems to reaffirm that, as well as elaborating on it.
@BigBoyBrock 14 Generally, their wills are alike, though I can imagine that Jesus' will at the moment was different in a way. He was in an extremely physically and emotionally difficult circumstance, bearing more pain than anyone else has ever endured. He would have been physically experiencing a desire to not experience that pain. God the Father surely empathized, but each knew the importance of Jesus' task, and so Jesus subjected Himself to the pain, subordinating His natural physical desire to avoid pain.
That's how I understand it, anyway.
@@00Fisher00 I disagree. When Jesus prayed to the Father and asked him to take away the cup of agonizing pain, I don't think his Father had any desire to comply because of his mission. He sent an angel instead to touch him and make him stronger for the additional pain he would be suffering in satisfying the infinite and eternal demands of justice, a pain so great that it would have killed him before all was completed and thwarted the plan of the Father.
@@wadsworththebutler9657 Actually, I think we agree on that part; God's will was always that His plan be accomplished. What I mean when I say that He empathized is that I think He felt something for His Son who was enduring such pain. As a mere, simple, mortal father, I feel empathy for my children when they go through pain and struggles, and even in my simplicity I still want them to do what they should. I'm sure the Father's will remained the same through it all, which is why Christ's words of "not my will, but thine, be done" carry such important meaning.
This is a interesting video about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and well explained.

Yes it does! All of us, including Jesus Christ, are spirit sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father.
Simply put, yes, we are all brothers and sisters of Christ and of each other. And honestly, He's the best older brother that anyone could ever ask for!
Yes!
Yes.
I think I'm tired of this division in the Church. I am not Mormon, I'm simply a Christian who loves Jesus. If Mormons don't teach that Joseph Smith is the way to God, but teach that Jesus is the only way to the Father, then I don't get what the argument is. If believing in the book of Mormon adds revelation of Christ to the Bible, then all good. If it teaches anything other than scripture, then its an issue. I don't see much difference and I'm actually quiet alarmed at the hostility against Mormons. Anyway as long as we can sing Jesus is Lord together, I'm cool with anyone! So fellow non Mormon believers, let's focus on Christ and stop with the name calling and welcome those who call Jesus God! Its only those who cannot say Jesus is Lord and Hes the son of God who came in the flesh to die for our sins and bring us back into relation with our Heavenly Father; those who do not share this belief are the only ones we must confront to tell the good news to.
I really don't get the back and forth 😕
I love your comment! This is what Christ truly wants for us. He wants us to love one another. Sometimes people argue beliefs under the guise of love but I think it’s easy to see the division it causes. Christ loved everyone one and was kind to them no matter who they were.
George, wow! You hit the nail right on the head. I couldn’t have said it better myself. I hope others read your comments. Great job!
Yes, I'm SURE you're tired of this division in the church. There are now 1,500 different Christian churches, all of which believe in the Bible and supposedly base their doctrine upon, but which have different doctrine.
That's why there had to be a restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ, along with another testament of Jesus Christ, to correct some of the mistakes in the Bible.
@@bradycox5745 no Christ, does not want you to preach a hippy kumbaya Gospel, he wants you to stop worshiping the devil. 🤦 Do you not read the Gospels.
@@ISAiah.42 Here's something I've read from the gospels, with Christ's own words: "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." (Matthew 22:37-39) That's not "a hippy kumbaya Gospel", it's truth from my Lord and Redeemer. Do you read scripture?
Great channel.
Praise the Father, praise the Son, praise the Spirit: three in one.
The triune, co equal, co eternal God of the Bible.
John tells us Jesus was there at the beginning and all things were created by Him and through Him… Jesus the Son was not created by the Father, but existed with Him in the eternal, the holy uncreated One.
The passage that I find the most useful here is John 17. In it, Jesus prayed to the Father, and He said somethin very interesting about Their unity. He said that He wanted all of His disciples to be "one" in the same way that He and the Father are united. How is this possible? By following Christ's example. As He said to the Father, "not my will, but thine, be done." as we rely on the grace and power of Jesus Christ, who is God the Son, we can learn to do the will of the Father and seek His purposes instead of our own, and eventually we can have great unity with Them even though we are different beings. That kind of oneness makes sense.
Awesome video! Just wish the video title wouldn’t include the word “Mormon” since we are focusing on our real name!
Thanks for your comment! We hope individuals will find this video when they search UA-cam for Mormon beliefs about the Godhead. When they watch the video, we clarify that the “Mormon Church” is properly referred to as “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” As we work to teach people online, you can do your part by helping friends and neighbors understand the proper name of the Church. Thank you!
Now you know!🤔
Why would you trust your eternal destiny to one other than God?? If Jesus wasn't God, how could He die for our sins or forgive sins? Only God could do that
Jesus is God the Son. Do you have questions about the ideas presented in this video?
so do mormons believe that the Holy Spirit lives in believers, or just dwells among them?
@@fayelewis5476 We agree that God is different from man in that he is perfect and has no need to repent. John 4:24 is another potentially confusing passage when compared with others even in just the Bible; we read elsewhere about Jesus being on the right hand of God, for example, and there are other passages that refer to His feet. Latter-day Saints know that indeed, we must worship God in "spirit and truth", and we know the power of the Holy Ghost--the "Spirit of God"--who is the third member of the Godhead. In addition, we have received additional revelation that clarifies who in the Godhead possesses flesh and bone; Devon Blake cited this above.
Given the potential confusion that arises, it is wonderful that God has given us more. God speaks to modern prophets who speak words of truth. You can hear them and know of the truth of their words through the Holy Ghost. I invite you to listen to or read what they have said recently at www.churchofjesuschrist.org/general-conference. Otherwise, feel free to explore ComeUntoChrist.org or ChurchOfJesusChrist.org.
Is the narrator for this delightful video Jolie Hales? So beautifully done!
So thank ful for the True Church Of Jesus Christ
Not even close
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book
Revelation 22:18-19
Sometimes people quote that passage when they have worries related to the Book of Mormon. What book was "this book" that John was talking about? The Bible didn't exist at the time; it was compiled several centuries later. For anyone reading the Book of Revelation after John wrote it, it would have been obvious that John was indeed referring to the very book he had written: Revelation. It's interesting to note that Moses wrote basically the same thing toward the end of his writings, in Deuteronomy 4:2 and 12:32, but of course we don't reject all scripture that follows the books of Moses. Good luck in your further study of scripture, and I highly recommend that you include the wonderful scripture God has given us in the Book of Mormon.
Yes were intrigued by the on going "quote versus of the Bible" in the comment section.
We have the Bible which will endure forever no need for Book of Mormon
Hi Bonnie, thanks for tuning in to the video. The Book of Mormon is not a replacement or substitute for the Holy Bible, but a companion to it. It testifies of Jesus Christ as our Savior. Members of the Church are taught from the Bible and the Book of Mormon, and consider both to be holy scripture containing the word of God. You can learn more at the video below: ua-cam.com/video/nyV61Hh9KdA/v-deo.html Take care!
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I love you guys!
@@bonniet.johnson6300 I'd never want to tell God I didn't need something He gave me. I believe Jesus' words when He quoted older scripture, saying that we shall live "by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4) May I ask you about your beliefs? I know why I study the writings of the Bible, but why do you?
This video should be sufficient for Mormons to stop complaining when people say they're not Christian. If you reject the Trinity and believe there are actually three separate gods, then you are not Christian and your baptism is invalid. Plain and simple. You have the right to that belief, but it's not Christianity.
If we believe in Jesus Christ, hence the name of the church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, i think its fine to call ourselves Christians. We in no way reject the Trinity, but understand and believe Them to be 3 individual Beings.
Dario, take a look at John 17:20-22. In that passage, Jesus was praying to the Father and spoke of their unity, and as He did so He prayed that His disciples would all be one just as He and His Father are one. That gives you insight about the kind of unity They have, because it's the same kind of Unity that we can have someday through Jesus Christ. They are one God--the "Godhead", as referred to in the Bible (see Acts 17:29; Romans 1:20; Colossians 2:9)--because of their great unity despite being separate beings. What Jesus Christ desires for us is a wonderful thing.
They’re basically practicing polythiesm
@@user-gb5tj5kj1n To understand better, you can take a look at my comment to Dario immediately above this.
Please make this video in Spanish! I would love to share it to friends that don’t speak English. Please!!!!
Can you share with me verses from the Book of Mormon that back up your belief in the God Head being three in one?
Hi Katerina, thanks for your question. Mormon 5:5-7 teaches about the unity of God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. Learn more about our beliefs about the Godhead, including scriptures from the Bible and Book of Mormon, words of prophets, and more, at the link below: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/godhead?lang=eng If you have more questions, we encourage you to reach out to missionaries from the Church. They would be happy to help answer your questions via voice or video call: www.comeuntochrist.org/requests/missionary-visit Take care!
The most helpful verses for me are actually in the Bible. See John 17, especially verses 20-22.
Could you answer in another film, What is the Mormon belief on Angels?
Thanks for sharing your feedback, Raphael. If you're interested, the speech linked below by Church leader Elder Jeffrey R. Holland discusses some of our beliefs surrounding angels: ua-cam.com/video/TGy3dY6Z7ks/v-deo.html
If Jesus Christ can be the lion and the Lamb He also can be the Father and son.
@@devonblake731 I agree what your saying I'm just adding that God created many peoples not only on Earth so in a way he is the Father of everything.
We are all God's because we came from God himself. Scripture is clear on the matters.
Mankind has potential to progress to Godhood (Exaltation, just as Christ) after death, provided the rules are followed
We are Gods in the making (premature) because we are the actual spirit children of Heavenly Father - Psalms 82:6-7
Christ himself states we are all (potential) Gods by quoting Psalms 82:6, and uses it to explain his role - John 10:34-36
The trials of this life mask the glory that will be revealed in us, which will be equal to that of Christ - Romans 8:17-18
Where in the Bible does it say the Father has flesh and bone? Where in the Bible does it say that Joseph Smith saw the Father? Nobody has seen the Father except the Son according to scripture. Also, wouldn’t this view of the Godhead make this religion polytheist? Please somebody enlighten me.
The writings of the Bible all happened well before Joseph Smith was born. The Bible itself mentions multiple times when people saw God. I've seen your screen name before, and I don't remember every past conversation; have we not already gone over all of this?
Amen 😊
