Their stated belief about the godhead:

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe

”The Holy Trinity is the term many Christian religions use to describe God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. Latter-day Saints believe very strongly in all three, but we don’t believe they’re all the same person. We do believe they are one in purpose. Their purpose is to help us achieve true joy, in this life and in the life to come (which we also believe in).”

Another take on the Trinity.
Three separate people with one purpose.

Not sure where they missed this:
“Hear of Israel, the Lord your God is one”

Their “beliefs” page is a thinly disguised bland Christian thought-manifesto which doesn’t touch on any of their fringe concepts and doctrines.

It must be particularly galling for you that the OP has nothing to do with religion or spirituality and that it offers up nothing for debate or discussion.

Er, no. Wait.

Joseph Smith and Co. is not my cup of tea. I'm please these folks find time to read the Bible, because that's headed in the right direction, but think they should put the book of Mormon away; that's headed in the wrong direction.

Discussion, and strong opinions, about the concepts of the Trinity and eternal torture belong on this forum, and of course topics come around again and again in a cycle. Perhaps you should ignore topics you don't find interesting. If you posted as much topical stuff and started threads as divegeester does, your contribution to this forum would be fantastic. Instead, you seem content to be a heckler enamoured of your own inexhaustible umbrage.

This is a forum especially for discussing these topics; as you clearly never have anything of substance to offer perhaps you just just say another “adieu”.

Do you know what the Mormons believe on this topic?

Church of LDS and racism

“Up until 1978, Mormonism's largest denomination, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) barred Black women and men from participating in ordinances of its temples necessary for the highest level of salvation, prevented most men of Black African descent from being ordained to the church's lay, all-male priesthood, supported racial segregation in its communities and schools, taught that righteous Black people would be made White after death, and opposed interracial marriage.”
