There are many doctrines which the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has that are different from the views of traditional Christianity. Perhaps one of the most controversial is the doctrine of the Godhead. The great majority of churches have taught for centuries that the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are one God. By this they mean that these three terms do not refer to three separate people, but are all the same being.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints declares that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are three separate and distinct individual people. That is, they each have a separate human form and each has their own individual personality. The LDS church also teaches that each of these distinct persons is a God. Hence, the conclusion is made that we believe in three Gods, not one. This past article examines what the scriptures have to say on this matter.
