Summary: I considered this question from notes I prepared two years ago for a formal debate on the topic with a Calvinist minister. My approach is more as a discussion than a debate due to the fact that four issues must be resolved before we could properly debate the question, "Is the God of Mormonism the God of the Bible?" They are: 1. Which Bible? 2. What is the Biblical concept of Deity? 3. What is the Mormon concept of Deity? 4. Are we referring to the identity of God or to divergent views of God's attributes and actions? Callers and Email: 1. The reasoning behind non-LDS Christian arguments that Mormons are not Christians; divergent concepts of salvation. 2. A caller and I disagreed on two main points: That the belief that Jesus and Satan are brothers demeans Jesus; and that the belief that Jesus created Satan out of nothing, flawed such that Jesus knew Satan would fall and become the author of evil, makes Jesus the creator, or the one responsible for all evil.
