Very Well written and answered some questions I had about The Trinity versus the Godhead. Find and read it---Deseret News Dec 7th 2007 called Theology: LDS God is in harmony with the Bible.
I do love a well researched article! What do you think?

I think Sir Evil is disappointed to find out one of his favorite authors is Mormon.

@ Sir Evil.
What can't you believe....that he is a mormon? Or that he wrote it...?

I've always felt Mormon doctrine was in harmony with the Bible, more so than those that accept original sin as a premise for the atonement, more so than those who haven't considered a pre-existence...More so than...oh wait, I don't want to spoil the plot for everyone...

As an Independent I espouse both Liberal and Conservative views; together we stand, divided we fall. Besides the economy, education, healthcare, immigration, domestic and overseas policies; more than ever, the American people need to see the POTUS, Senate and House, in full cooperation with one another. In summation, please stop playing politics with the lives of the American people, and start working towards securing a better today and future for all Americans. Thank you very much, and may the best man win! The Presidency is a public service job, that comes with a OK but not great salary, public housing, temporary respect of all (mainly respect for the office, not necessarily the person unless that respect is earned rather than assumed). It also assures at least a footnote in history, if not a significant reference. This is not a slam or assumption about any part or person, just an observation from 40+ years of serious observation and historical interpretation.

I find it hard to believe that Card, a double Hugo and a double Nebula winner could write that, but if you provide the link, I'm eager as hell to read it....
EDIT: Damn it!: Card is opposed to premarital sex. He has written that an increase in crime in USA of the 1970s and 1980s "might well have been the result" of what he calls "the New Morality and the Pill" because they may have increased the number of babies born to "the people with poor impulse control" who are "most likely to be irresponsible parents."[16]
He believes homosexuality to be a sin, and has called same-sex marriage a "potentially devastating social experiment."[17] In his essay "The Hypocrites of Homosexuality" he advocates laws against homosexual sex, "not to put homosexuals in jail," but to encourage gay men and women to have sex only in secret "so as not to shake the confidence of the community in the polity's ability to provide rules." In the same essay, he claims to have a number of homosexuals as "dear friends" and speaks out against the use of "ugly words like fa**ot."[18]
I just CANT believe it....

Yes, he hit the nail on the head. His comments and examples on the trinity theory were refreshing.

I have not read it. It sounds like Mormon propaganda.
