Why does the LDS Church reject the historic church’s concept of the Trinity? Not only does the Trinity remove any hope of a Mormon ever achieving godhood, but it also undermines Smith’s First Vision account and subsequent teachings regarding a multiplicity of deities. If it can be demonstrated that the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost/Spirit are God, and at the same time be shown that there exists only one God, it would definitely place the integrity of the first Mormon prophet on the line.
