Hey buddy...question for the missionary...Tammy Fenn and I were talking last night...and she really stumbles on this one statement found in the Testimony of the Three Witnesses....And the honor be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, which is one God. Amen.
She was hoping you could explain it to her and actually to me now that she and I talked...she thinks maybe she's thinking too much about it...but is hoping you might give a simple answer for it...she said she even asked Bishop Gerald about it years ago...but it still puzzles her...mainly because of the word "one" Because we all know they are separate beings....but as an investigator reading this...one might question what it means to be "one" especially since we say they are separate....Dad gave her the same answer Gerald did...because they act together as one...I hope you understand where she's confused and can help...
love you. MOM
They´re one God in the sense that they´re all working with one purpose. Not necessarily in the case of that particular testimony, but many times when the scriptures say they are one God, it´s because other languages (such as Greek, the language of the New Testament) have multiple forms of the word ´one´, and in the scriptural case, it´s a plural form of one. They´re separate persons, just with the same purpose-to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man (Moses 1:39). But they are certaintly three separate people, just unified in a manner that we can only dream of.
Hopefully that answers the question.
