BOOK OF MORMON Clarification on the Godhead

     OVER the centuries of time, and depending as to what light and understanding God has revealed to his children at any given time, the detailed truths concerning the doctrines and truths of the gospel of God are 1) variously known and understood and 2) variously corrupted and misunderstood. Perhaps one of the best such understandings is that of the understanding of the Godhead. That is just who is who and what in relation to each perhaps cited member of the Godhead.

At verious times the simplification was understook that there was the One True God. That simplification becomes a bit more to have to come to an understanding once various outher 'persons' or beings within the united Godhead become known by name and title. Such is the matter of such as 'Elohim,' 'Jehovah,' 'Jesus' or 'Jehoshua,' and/or the personage of the 'Holy Ghost' or 'Holy Spirit.' And much confusion was introduced when the remaining Bishops of the early church, after the deaths or departures of the Apostles of the Church where lost to guide the early Church of Jesus Christ.

In the fouth century A.D., the various Bishops so recognized by the church under the limited 'leadership' of Constantine, were gathered to a joint synod of the Bishops of the Church under Constantine's rulership in order to address some variously divisive differences in the then taught 'doctrines' of the Church. By that 325 A.D. date, various faction, groups or even single Bishop's congregations had began to believe and perform differently. And the non-standard differences were a threat to not only the Church, but to the newly forming Kingdom under Constatine of which Constantine had set out that Christianity was to be the State Religion. But how could the one state religion have different factions and division amongst themselves? And such divisions over church doctrine had began to tend to also create divisions among the people within the Roman Kingdom of Constantine.

Leaving all such matters as to Constantine's own 'conversion' to the Christian Church to another time, simply stated Constantine 'ruled' over the 325 A.D. Synod Assembly of the Bishop at the first Nicean Council of the joint meeting of the Bishops under Constantine's rule and Roman Kingdom. Amoung the various Bishop lead factions three seem to have taken on some precedence as to which the other Bishops and their lesser considerations did seem to collect themselves. There were those who would gather to and with the Bishop of Alexandria, Those who would gather under the name or Arius known as Arians, and also those of the more moderate and center line of the Church, that sometimes is over looked as the two polar factions of the Arian and Alexandrians over shadowed the 'mainstream more silent' moderate, but understandable more truth to the central truth of the gospel moderates which is assembled under any one representative would have be joined gether or represented by Bishop Eusibus of Ceasarea.

To make it very short, over the next number of other synods of the fourth century A.D., a centeral doctrinal conclusion was eventually come to which was after the Order of Alexiandria's leadership and eventually under the leadership of Athnesius, the Bishop Alexander's lead Decon who became the next Bishop of Alexandria during those descision synods where the Bishops had voted and termined the matter of their decided Doctrin of the Trinity of the Godhead, which not exactly the real truth of the Godhead, though it had a mixture of some truth mingled within it.

Now because of the confusion caused by the Bishop decided Doctrine of the Trinity, the truths that were in the scriptures was variously interpreted in order to fit that decided upon Doctrine of the Trinity. And any groups who did not accept the vote of the general council were basically excommunicated and persecuted by those who backed that Doctrine of the Trinity. But that gets deep into the actually history of that early church and its evetual 'great apostasy' from the various truths of God as had been fortold.

And thus then the and what texted of the church were then to be accepted and/or rejected into the accepted cannon of recognized scripture, which were designed to match and be interpreted to support what the 'winning' Bishops of the synods had decided them to be. With this remaining set of 'scriptures' and how they were variously interpreted by the various factions, there then still left much confusion back then and have continued to be matters of various interpretations among the very many demominations of the Christian Churches of today and their variously held doctrines of dispute of today.

One latter-day Christian Denomination today has declared itself to be the Lord's true church with the design to resolve these disputation of divisive separations of various interpretations. And as such, it has offered to the world an additional volume of scripture that has been designed by God to help set forth the turth and to dispell the confusions as to what is the truth. That is this additional volume presents many of the 'lost' plain and simple truths of he Church of Jesus Christ as they were taught by Jesus and his true apostles and prophets of the early Christian Church.

In short those clarifications present that the Godhead is made up of three distinct and separted individual personal beings, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. And while they work in harmony as one in the faith of the gospel, they are corporally separate as to each being their own seperate entity and being apart from each other. The Father known as Elohim, that Man of Holiness Who it the Father of all the, all his, spirit children of God the Father Elohim born and nurtured in the preexistance. Second, there is the Firstborn Son of the Father of Spirits whose name is Jehovah or YHWH (HWHY read from right to left.) As the Firstborn of the Father of Spirits, Elohim of every creature — Jehovah was the intended 'Heir' of the Father. And as such, Jehovah was selected by the Father to represent the Father, as though he were the Father, being endowed with all of the power and authority of the Father. And as such Jehovah was charged by Elohim to be the Ministering Spirit God of Creation and of the Old Testament as well. He was also appointed, annointed, consecrated and ordained to be the Savior and Deliverer of all mankind, the other obedient spirit children of the Father. And as such, Jehovah would become the Only Begotten Son of God the Father in the Flesh, being born of the virgin Mary of and by the over shadowing power of the Holy Ghost to be the literal temporal and mortal son of God the Father in the flesh due to so being born of the mortal Mary. In that state and condition, Jehovah as Jesus Christ, had the power to die and to perform an atonement in behalf of all of God the Father's spirit childern who would come unto Jesus, believe on him, take his name upon them, strive to keep his commandments which Jehovah/Jesus had and would give unto them to keep, that they might have his spirit and redeeming power upon them to be resurrected and return unto God and the so prepared kingdom's of glory prepared for them due to the powers of the atonement and resurrection of all men. And it is by the powers of the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit, by which the truth is communed between man and God, the divine spirit bearing witness to Father and Son, and unto the truth of the Gospel of Christ and God.

In that paragraph, the truth is stated. It is so clarified as will now be shown by the teaching of the Book of Mormon in clarifying of the Biblical truths that man might know the truth of God above and beyound the interpretations of men. Between the two scriptural records a straight line of truth may be drawn with the aid of the plain and simple truths of God as so presented in their plainness in the Book of Mormon.
