| − | Many conservative Protestant critics have reproduced a table which purports to show how LDS scripture contradicts itself.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This table examines the supposed contradictions, presents the scriptures cited in context, and demonstrates that claims on contradiction rest on:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # a misinterpretation of LDS scripture | |
| − | # comparing two verses which are speaking about different things
| |
| − | # reading Protestant meanings into scriptural terminology

| − | || The scriptures in Column A all state that there is "One God" consisting of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Column B scriptures explain the nature of this oneness. Protestant critics do not like the fact that Latter-day Saints reject the nonbiblical Nicene Creed, which teaches a oneness of substance. Latter-day Saints believe that God is one, but accept the Biblical witness that this is a oneness of purpose, intent, mind, will, and love, into which believers are invited to participate (see {{s||John|17|22-23}}).
