Mormon Apostle tells missionaries to take people to the "Gods" and ultimately to their "own Godhood"

Mormon Apostle, Jeffrey R. Holland, made some interesting remarks to over 600 Mormon missionaries at the 2009 New Mission Presidents Seminar. Those who are unfamiliar with Mormon beliefs will find Elder Holland's statements most interesting since the Mormon church works so hard to present itself as Christian. To be fair, Elder Holland was simply teaching Mormon doctrine, but the doctrine he was teaching while true to Mormonism is contradictory to the monotheism of the Bible.

Holland said, "We are charged with the responsibility of getting people out of their ruts and routines, out of their problems and their pain, out of their earthly little arguments and ignorance and sins, and take them to the Gods — to the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost — ultimately we are to take them toward their own Godhood. In short, we are to take them to the divine. And the Holy Ghost is the connecting link which the Godhead has agreed to give us here in mortality for that heavenly connection."

The polytheistic theology presented in Holland's remarks is outside of biblical Christianity because the Bible is monotheistic. In fact, the polytheistic theology presented by the Apostle Holland and to which the Mormon Church currently adheres, is also contradictory to the teachings found in the Book of Mormon (Alma 11:26-31, Alma 11:44, 1 Nephi 13:41).
