Abstract

Also in A Sure Foundation: Answers to Difficult Gospel Questions, 5-11. Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1988. Doxey explains, citing many scriptures, how the Book of Mormon “does indeed teach that God the Father, his Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are three separate beings and that the Father and the Son are not personages of spirit.”
