There are many different gods.
Does this sound like Christianity? It is basic to Mormonism. Joseph Smith taught, "In the beginning the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it."[16] Apostle Orson Pratt wrote, "In heaven where our spirits were born, there are many gods, each of whom has his own wife or wives which were given to him previous to his redemption while yet in his mortal state."[17] The Bible, on the other hand, consistently teaches only one unique God.[18] So, interestingly enough, does the Book of Mormon.[19]
[16] Joseph Smith, The Journal of Discourses, Vol. 6.
[17] Orson Pratt in The Seer, Vol. 1, p. 37.
[18] See, for example: Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Kings 8:60; John 17:3; 1 Timothy 2:5; James 2:19.
[19] 2 Nephi 31:21b;26:12; 11:7; Mosiah 15:2-5; 16:15; Alma 11: 26-29; 38-39; 3 Nephi 11:27b, 36. As you can see, the Book of Mormon also teaches the doctrine of the Trinity (2 Nephi 31:21b; 3 Nephi 11:27b).
