The Mormon Trinity consists of The Heavenly Father, God~Jesus and The Holy Ghost. God is The Heavenly Father. God is not the ordinary Jewish god, Yahweh or Jehovah. In Mormonism, Jesus is Jehovah, the god of the Old Testament, the one who said "Let there be light", Jesus is the Angry god who sent pestilence upon Egypt. Jesus' Father is not Jehovah, but a man-like being named Elohim. Mormons know that in Judaism, Elohim is a general term used occasionally in the Old Testament for any divine being, but more frequently in reference to the God of the Israelites.

Jesus was the god of the Old Testament.  We Mormons believe, a spirit must live as a male humanoid  on an earth-like planet, before becoming a god.  This helps of prove our worth to Heavenly father, the omniscient of the planet KOLOB, who, by default, always doubts the worthiness of all souls that he created.   However, Jesus was allowed to do this the other way around. He created the earth as a god (naturally) and then came to live amongst his creation.  Mormon theologians point to this oddity as proof that our earth's gods are the chiefs of all gods in the universe.   This means that just as the hierarchical, patriarchial, structure of the LDS religion itself, the universe is structured so.  Theses scholars often point out to critics who say that Mormonism is outside of Christianity, that the geo-centric views of the universe coincides closely with the Ptolemaic view of the Catholic church.  Thus Mormonism and its polytheism is just the same as Christianity with its Trinity.  We Mormons are Christians, too.  IN fact, we believe that we are the only true Christians.  All who are not LDS are just plain wrong!

But they will find out their faults, either through our Mormon missionary program,  or in the post existence, after death.  Yes, we will seek you out in the Spirit world, before you are allowed to hop a flight to the KOLOB. The Spirit World is divided into Seven Veils, each separated by another Veil. Joseph smith has not unveiled everything to us about this, but he has in fact revealed that not much can be revealed.  And he has told us that the spirit worlds first two layers are:    1.)  Planet earth -- the invisible aether that surrounds us all, and, through the veil,    2.)  Planet Oliblish -- the final staging point before flying on to KOLOB.

Mormons always pray to The Heavenly Father -- not to Jesus, or Mary who all dwell together on KOLOB. They do not pray to Jehovah because Jehovah is Jesus, in Mormonism. Mormons believe that Christ atoned for the sins of the world, and so they often praise his sacrifice in prayer. The last of the Mormon pantheon (also called The Godhead) is The Holy Ghost. Mormons refer to him/her as The Holy Comforter. The Holy Ghost, who is an essential part of the Mormon religion, is given as a gift that provides comfort and guidance in daily life.

To eliminate any confusion with other gods of the Bible, Mormons just use the moniker "The Heavenly Father for God, or Elohim. The Holy Ghost is mostly ignored. The third deity of The Trinity is the Holy Ghost.

Mormonism is a polytheistic religion. For Mormons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are: The Heavenly Father, Jehovah-Jesus, and Holy Ghost. Mormons also have minor deities whom they revere. We believe that angels visit the earth from KOLOB, the Planet Of Origin (POO)  --  of angels and spirits and gods. Sacred (not secret) Mormon documents locked away in Temple vaults in the Mountains near Salt Lake City Utah contain documents and photographs of a 1954 visit of the Angel Gabriel. The sighting of the Angel Moroni (yes that's his name) by Mormonism's founder, Joseph Smith is the basis of Mormonism on Earth. (Mormons believe that Mormonism is the dominant religion on thousands of planets throughout the Milky Way, besides  POO, and other planets extending beyond the Large and Small Clouds Of Magellan and beyond the Andromeda galaxy). Notwithstanding the documented visit of the Angel Gabriel, no photographic evidence of Moroni's visitation survives today. Mormon Scholars believe that the silver halide plates in Smith's possession suffered the same fate as Smith's golden plates which contained the hieroglyphics -- the TRUE basis of Mormonism.

The Heavenly Father (I will use "God" for short) is a physical being, just like you or I, except that he has no blood. Instead, we Mormon thinkers believe that a powder flows through His veins, propelled by air, in an otherwise normal heart. Other slight adjustment to God’s biochemistry and metabolism are of course concurrent with this.

His son, Jesus, (the creator of our solar system, but not of all the universe) is also a physical being, with normal cell function, real blood and so on. The Virgin Mary is a concubine of The Heavenly Father, who had other wives as well, but he never married Mary. Jesus’ half-brother, Beelzebub, the Devil, is also a spiritual being, ( spiritual blood, spiritual lymph etc.,) but He, of course, does not live in heaven. It is God and Jesus and their wives and the angels, all physical beings, who live in heaven.

Mormons make the distinction between spiritual beings and physical beings. The Jehovah-Jesus Duality is The Heavenly Father. He is a physical, being, though his blood carries no oxygen to his brain, and his bladder presumably is filled with Vacuum (Mormon theologians differ).

Spiritual beings do have blood, bile, sperm, etc. But the are completely transparent.  As explained elsewhere on these pages, they are as a consequence, blind.

One Mormon mystic describes the relationship of Mormon gods and Angels in this way:

The difficulty that Mormon theologians have with this Truth, is that since God is the Yahweh-Jesus-combo,  just who is Jehovah?

Heaven is on a planet 
Heaven is on a planet  in the constellation Cancer, sector 2813. The name of the planet is KOLOB.  Space travel near heaven is not allowed, according to some Mormon theologians.

God’s wives and Jesus’ wives produce Spirit Children who grow up, marry and produce more spirit children. It’s exponential growth on KOLOB.

Sex chromosomes of everyone in heaven are slightly different than in terrestrial mammalian biology. This is because a mechanism exists in heaven in which many more girls than boys are born. It is estimated by theologians that the ratio of male to female amongst both physical beings and spiritual beings is about 1:45. This allows a fine polygamous lifestyle, one which Mormons have so desperately fought for in Utah, USA. The exponential growth of new souls in heaven is only possible because the children of heaven, unlike Jehovah, do not have physical bodies. Instead, they have spirit-bodies. The equivalent in Christianity is the concept of the soul.

Spirits do not take up any space at all. If they did, the universe would be full of them, as you can easily imagine with such an exponential rate of growth. There would be no room for anything else. Not for you or me, for toasters, police decoys, or the needle in the haystack. If souls took up space, space would be wall-to-wall souls. They reproduce that much, the souls, at least! Since you and I exist, and have room enough to breathe, it's ample evidence that spirits take up hardly any room at all.

Jesus’ wives, and the wives of the angel Moroni, and those of other angels all produce children. The children are not physical children. They are spiritual beings. Mormonism makes great distinction about who is physical and who is not. Spiritual beings cannot mate with physical beings. They mate only amongst themselves in polygamous marriages. Spiritual beings produce only spiritual offspring.

Spiritual beings have no solid form. Spiritual beings live in the spirit-part of the planet KOLOB. There, the main activity is mating. The spirit world on KOLOB, unlike the spirit world on earth (we have one here, too) is very much like the physical world, except that it is not solid. Spirits interact with each other in normal ways. They enjoy spirit food, drink spirit Dr. Pepper (de-caf, of course), live on spirit streets in spirit houses with spirit pets, cats, mice and all manner of spirit animal companions. In short, the spirit fauna and flora is much like that of earth.

Just as KOLOB is surrounded by a spirit world, Mormon Theologians imagine that the Earth, too, is surrounded by a spirit world. The earth's spirit world is the home of dead people, in limbo for now, who await transport back to KOLOB, (via some other stops along the way (diagram).

But first, they must all be baptized. The baptism ritual occupies much time for live Mormons, because they are required to research the names of all their dead ancestors. Then they must act to as proxies for the Dead Ones, as they stand in to be dunked under in the baptismal font. Without knowing their names, Mormon Theologians are powerless to baptize them. "Baptism For The Dead", as it's appropriately called, has evolved into a very sophisticated form of ancestor worship, as is evidenced by the excellent Genealogical libraries Mormons have built throughout the world, and especially in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

Most Mormon theologians agree that all life forms on earth are represented in spirit form in the spirit world. We believe that spirit viruses do not exist in heaven. However, spirit one-celled organisms are possible in the spirit world. They occupy spirit environmental niches, and form much of the bottom of the food chain, like here on earth. Most foods, except coffee, and alcohol, of course, are served in heaven. Sweets are especially prized by the saints and by the angels.

It is known that viruses are completely useless, even here on earth. If all suddenly became extinct, no echo system would suffer, and only benefit would result. Mormon scholars sometimes note that it's altogether wise of God to omit viruses in heaven, and only have them on the planet earth and on some of the other planets (planet Oliblish, especially).

On KOLOB, the main activity is mating. This is because the spirit world of KOLOB exists to supply souls for newborn earthlings. When a soul is needed for a fertilized human ovum, a previously dispatched spirit from KOLOB travels to earth at speeds faster than light. Faster than light travel is easily achieved for Kolobian spirits because spirits weigh nothing (in fact they weigh less than nothing because spirits are mostly composed of tachyons, which, as science has convincingly shown, always must travel faster than light).

It is a stream of these supraluminal spirits from the planet KOLOB that supplies the souls of earthlings’ fertilized ova, Mormon and gentile alike. About 39,000 babies are born on Earth every minute, right? So figure it out yourself. Souls arrive speedily to lend the vital force to our otherwise useless shells. It is with special spirit, that Mormon wives, who are called "Precious Vessels", deliver their tiny extra-terrestrial visitors. Mormon fathers are especially eager to trigger this process, beginning at KOLOB, in a galaxy far, far away, and ending at the end of a birth canal.

God, Jesus, and Holy Ghost also rule over other beings in the universe. The Earth is just one planet which pledges, (or should pledge) its allegiance to Jehovah, The Heavenly Father.

Streams of faster-than-light spirits also beam to other planets. They supply the resident extra-terrestrials with souls. Mormonism teaches us that the universe is inhabited on a grand scale, with gods’ children on every habitable planet. The uninhabited planets and The Void act as spacers, or barriers, so that distant colonies cannot contact each other until they develop technology to a sufficiently high degree.
