What The Bible Teaches About GOD
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth (Genesis 1:1).
He is God; there is none else beside him (Deuteronomy 4:35)
God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man, Christ Jesus (I Timothy 2:5).
Go...and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Matt.28:19)
Jesus was baptized; the Spirit descended; the Father spoke (Matthew 3:16-17).
Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another
From the time that it was, there am I; and now the Lord God, and his Spirit, has sent me (Isaiah 48:16).

What Others Religions Teach About GOD
God is All in all (Science and Health, H3:16).
God, Spirit, being all, nothing is matter (SH, H3:18).
God is incorporeal, divine, supreme, infinite Mind, Spirit, Soul, Principle, Life, Truth, Love (SH, 465:9).
God is infinite, the only Life, substance, Spirit, or Soul. The only intelligence of the universe, including man (SH,330:11)
Life, Truth, and Love constitute the triune Person called God; Christ the spiritual idea of sonship; Divine Science or the Holy Comforter (SH, 331:21-31
God is Rudimentary Divine Science, p. 34).
The theory of three persons in one God (that is, a personal Trinity or Triunity) suggests polytheism, rather than the one ever-present I am (SH, 256:9H).

Spiritualism is the science, philosophy, and religion of continuous life based upon the demonstrated fact of communication by means of mediumship, with those who live by the spirit world. Infinite intelligence pervades and controls the universe, is without shape or form, and is impersonal, omnipresent, and omnipotent. It teaches that the spark of divinity dwells in all (Spiritualist Manual, 1940). The doctrine of the Trinity seems to have no adherents in advanced circles of the spirit world. The divinity of Christ as a co-equal with the Father is universally denied.
Just as I am, nor poor, nor blind,
Nor bound by chains in soul or mind
or all of Thee within I find
O God of Love, I come, I come. (Spiritualistic Hymnal)

God(The Truth Shall Make You Free, p. 17).
Only Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting (Make Sure of All Things,[1965], p. 486).
Jesus Christ is not One God with the Father (MS, p. 485)
Holy Spirit is God(M, p. 487).
There was a time when Jehovah was alone in universal space. All life and energy and thought were contained in him alone (Let God Be True [1952], p. 25).
The obvious conclusion is that satan is the originator of the trinity doctrine (LG, p. 101).
Elohim is the plural of majesty. It does not mean that he is mysteriously a trinity (New Heavens and New Earth, p. 36).

We believe in God the Eternal Father, and in His son Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost (Articles of Faith, 1)
This cannot rationally be construed to mean that the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are one in substance and in person (Tatmage, Articles of Faith, p. 40).
There are three Gods . . . separate in personality, united in purpose, in plan, and in all attributes of perfection (Mc Conkie, Mormon Doctrine, p 670).
God is an organized being just as we are who are now in the flesh. He is a progressive being, and possesses the capacity of eternal increase. Perhaps once a child and mortal like ourselves (Gospel Doctrine, p 64; AF, p. 529; Journal of Discourses, 1:123).
The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man(Doctrine and Covenants, 130:ZZ).
God is not omnipresent . . . cannot be DC, p. 48)
Every man who reigns in celestial glory is a god to his dominions (McConkie, MD, p. 322).
There never was a time when there were not Gods and worlds (Young, Discourses, pp 22-23).
Each god, through his wife or wives, raises up a numerous family of sons and daughters (Pratt, The Seer, 1, no. 3, p. 37)
The doctrine of a plurality of Gods is prominent in the Bible. The heads of the Gods appointed our God for us (Teaching of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 370-72)
The eternal Father is a progressive Being ... the capacity of eternal increase (Talmage, DC, p. 529).

God is all there is. Kingdom of the Cults, p. 239).
God is omnipresent and almighty, and is in the heart of everyone (Transcendental Meditation, p. 61).
In his real nature man is divine. The inner man is fully Divine. Vedanta teaches no other dogma but the divinity inherent in man, and his capacity for infinite evolution (TM, p. 58).
