Eternal God
Joseph Smith said God was once a man, and not always God.
“God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder heavens . . . I say, if you were to see him to-day, you would see him like a man in form–like yourselves, in all the person, image, and very form as a man . . . it is necessary that we should understand the character and being of God, and how he came to be so; for I am going to tell you how God came to be God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity, I will refute that idea, and will take away and do away the veil, so that you may see . . . and that he was once a man like us; yea, that God himself the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth the same as Jesus Christ himself did.” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p. 3).
Deuteronomy 4: 35 To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord is God; there is no other besides him.
Deuteronomy 4:39 know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.
Psalm 90: 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
Psalm 93: 2 Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting.
Isaiah 43:10-11“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant
whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe
me and understand that I am he.
Before me no god
was formed, nor shall there be any after me.
11 I, I am the Lord, and besides
me there is no savior.
Isaiah 44: 6 & 8b Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god. 8b-Is there a God besides me? There is no Rock; I know not any.”
According to Scripture, God has always been God from all eternity. If the omniscient God knows of no other god, how can Joseph Smith say, “God came to be, therefore there was other gods before him as well as after Him? The Mormons worship a different god than the biblical God, and are not Christians.
