The Godhead

Article of Faith #1:"We believe in the God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost"

Our Father in Heaven, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost make up what is called the "Godhead" (Acts 7:55-56) They are three separate beings that share the same purpose. God and Jesus Christ have bodies and reside in heaven, while the Holy Ghost is a "personage of the Spirit" (D&C 130:22) and dwells here on earth with us.

L. Tom Perry of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, has said, "Our belief does not come from the speculations of men about the existence and nature of God, but from firsthand experience clarified for mankind and the existence of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.  Thus to the world came the vision that three personages comprise this great presiding council of the universe and have revealed themselves to mankind as three separate beings, physically distinct from each other as demonstrated by the accepted records of their divine dealings with mankind."
(The Articles of Faith, Ensign, April 1998.)

A small intro

I am finding that many people around me are asking a lot of questions about "Mormons", who we are, and what makes us different from other Christian denominations. I have created this blog to give basic answers to these questions.

Each post will outline a basic principle of the gospel and I will try to make it as simple as possible.

Although the information in these posts will be true and real, I invite you to visit mormon.org for more detailed information!
