I am reposting this article to make sure my technorati tags are working. Enjoy:

I was blessed to be able to study cults this last semester under Dr. Tsoukalas founder of Sound Doctrine Ministries For my final paper I challenged the Mormon view of God. Essentially it is within itself contradictory and as a whole it is inferior to the classical understanding of God. The problem lies with the LDS attempt to hold to God as omnipotent and omniscient, and at the same time believe that God had a beginning just as you and I. The famous saying goes like this:
As we are God once was, and as God now is we can be.

A link to my paper in .pdf format is Here. It borrows from Craig’s argument against a beginingless universe as well as an article from Beckwith and Parrish. Craig uses a strain of an ancient argument rooted in Islamic mathematicians called Kalim that argues against actual infinities. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

Blessings,
jeremy
