Monotheism Or Polytheism?

Poytheism: Function: nounEtymology: French polytheisme, from Late Greek polytheos polytheistic, from Greek, of many gods, from poly- + theos god: belief in or worship of more than one god

Monotheism: Function: noun: the doctrine or belief that there is but one God




Orson Pratt – Apostle “If we should take a million of worlds like this and number their particles, we should find that there are more Gods than there are particles of matter in those worlds” – Journal of Discourses, vol. 2, p.345

Brigham Young – Prophet “He is our father, the father of our spirits, and was once a man in mortal flesh as we are, and is now an exalted being. How many Gods there are, I do not know. But there never was a time when there were not Gods.” - Journal of Discourses, vol.7, p.333

Heber C Kimball – Member of the First Pesidency “then we shall go back to our father and God, who is connected with one who is still farther back; and this Father is connected with one still farther back, and so on.” - Journal of Discourses, vol. 5, p.19

“for our God is a natural man, the first of all mechanics. Where did he get his knowledge from? From his father, just as we get knowledge from our earthly parents.” - Journal of Discourses, vol. 8, pg 211

Orson Pratt – Apostle and Member of the Twelve “The gods who dwell in the heaven…have been redeemed from the grave in a world which existed before the foundations of this earth were laid. They and the Heavenly body which they now inhabit were once in a fallen state. They were exalted also, from fallen men to Celestial Gods to inhabit their Heaven forever and ever” – The Seer, p.23

“We were begotten by our heavenly father in Heaven; the person of our father in heaven was begotten on a previous heavenly world by his father; and again, he was begotten by still a more ancient father; and so on, from generation to generation. We wonder in our minds how far back the genealogy extends, and how the first world was formed, and the first father was begotten” – The Seer, p. 132

Milton Hinter – First Council of the Seventy “Mormon prophets have continuously taught the sublime truth that God the Eternal Father was once a mortal man who passed through a school of earth life similar to that through which we are now passing. He became God – an exalted being – through obedience to the same eternal Gospel truths that we are given opportunity today to obey” – Gospel Through the Ages, p. 104

“We must accept the fact that there was a time when Deity was much less powerful that He is today. Then how did he become glorified and exalted and attain His present status of Godhood? In the first place, aeons ago God undoubtedly took advantage of every opportunity to learn the laws of truth. From day to day He exerted His will vigorously, he gained more knowledge, thus he grew in experience and continued to gro until he attained the status of Godhood. In other words, He became God by absolute obedience to all the eternal laws of the Gospel.” - Gospel Through the Ages, pg. 114-115

Joseph Fielding Smith – Prophet “Some people are troubled over the statement of the Prophet Joseph Smith. The matter that seems such a mystery is the statement that our Father in heaven at one time passed through a life and death and is an exalted man. This is one of the mysteries. The prophet taught that our Father had a father and so on. Is not this a reasonable thought, especially when we remember that the promises are made to us that we may become like Him?” - Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, pp. 10,12).



Isaiah 43:10- The Word of God "You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me."


You decide.....Is Mormonism polytheistic or monotheistic?
