Godhead - Truth in Love Ministry

Dictionary of Mormonese

Godhead

In Mormonism, the Godhead refers to the three separate beings of Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. They are united in purpose and will, but not in essence. Heavenly Father has a body of flesh and bones, Jesus is his literal Son who also has a glorified body, and the Holy Ghost is a spirit personage.

This teaching stands in contrast to the biblical doctrine of the Trinity, which confesses that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three distinct persons but one God, equal in essence and co-eternal. By rejecting the Trinity, Mormonism presents the Godhead as three gods working together, rather than the one true God revealed in Scripture (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19).
