Do Mormons understand John 1:1 the way Trinitarians do?
As an ex-Mormon, and now an Orthodox Christian, I must make a small correction where Sean misspoke. Regarding the Last Things: It is their "Telestial Kingdom" that is said to be so wonderful a person would consider suicide to attain, not "Outer Darkness." Their teaching is that with each regressive kingdom there is a loss of a member of the Godhead; ergo, in the Telestial Kingdom one "only" has the presence of the Holy Spirit.
No wonder I had a headache most of the 25 years I was mormon.
