Mormonism 101: Third Level Statements (#3)
James White, , MormonismMen are Gods in Embryo At times LDS representatives have complained that Christian writers use terminology of Mormonism that Mormons would never use themselves. Sometimes there is truth to this complaint, but in the case of the Mormon doctrine of God, one will find some of the strongest terms being used in LDS literature itself. It might seem to some
The King Follett Funeral Discourse #5
James White, , MormonismMans Spirit Eternal and Uncreated Smith then goes on to lay the foundation of the LDS denial of creatio ex nihilo, creation out of nothing, the historic Christian belief that God did not create the universe out of pre-existing matter, but solely by His creative power and will.

The Mormon Issue
James White, , MormonismMormonism is not Christianity. It is fundamentally different. While it differs in hundreds of minor details, what is most important to us is that it differs in the most definitional and fundamentalaspects from the Christian faith. Christianity worships one God.

Well, it has been a pleasant surprise. We still firmly believe signs
Guessing About God: Mormonism’s Inability to Resist the Onslaught of Modernistic Skepticism (Part 1)
