LDS article of faith number one says we believe in God the Eternal Father and in His Son Jesus Christ and in the
00:07
Holy Ghost. Sounds good right? But the truth is is that the LDS organization teaches their people to speak
00:14
Christianese. They say the same words but they have totally different meanings.
00:20
What we should first understand is that when they say God the Eternal Father they don't mean that He has existed from everlasting into everlasting like it says in Psalm 90 verse 2.
00:30
No they believe that He was once a man like you and I are. Someone who sinned right but then was obedient to the gospel ordinances and principles and was exalted into Godhood.
00:39
When they say Jesus they don't mean the eternal God who took on flesh and died on the cross for our sins. Instead they mean the offspring of Heavenly Father and one of His goddess wives the spirit brother of Lucifer.
00:50
And with the Holy Ghost they also deny the fact that the Holy Ghost is eternally God. This is a big issue.
00:57
If you do not have Jesus Christ the eternal God as your sacrifice for your sins you don't have an atonement that actually has any effect on you.
01:06
That's why the organization says you need to make up those works yourself. You need to do X Y &
01:11
Z in order to reach a level of exaltation in Godhood. It's not biblical. We must reject it.
