Therefore, this apologetic essay will provide a response to the straw man argument established by the first chapter of Care’s and Leach’s book. The intent is to provide a reasonable response to the comparison of Mormon and Christian teaching of who God is. Such a response will reveiw and respond to the section Mormonisms View of God.

The other gender role involved human sexuality: Go therefore and be fruitful and multiply the earth.
