18.7.25

Can man see more than one member of the Godhead at the same time?

Sure, in cases like John the baptist at Christ's baptism or with Joseph Smith in the Sacred Grove... Or in verse 1 Nephi 11:27 where Nephi sees Christ and the Holy Ghost (with the Father recognizing the Son--which is exactly like John the Baptist...). But what about 1 Nephi 11:12 (where the Holy Ghost had gone before Nephi's presence when the Virgin was with child...) or how the disciples aren't given the Holy Ghost till after Christ is no longer with them! -- in the economy of God, I just don't think that man needs more than one member of the Godhead there at once (redundant?)!

Just as scriptures are not re-translated if it's possible to get your hands on the already-existing copy! Is there another reason why no more than one member of the Godhead is usually seen at once?

Later, in that same chapter, chapter 11 of 1 Nephi, in verse 21, it says, "21 And the angel said unto me: Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the Son of the Eternal Father⁠! Knowest thou the meaning of the tree which thy father saw?" Which First time Nephi calls the Spirit or refers to an “angel”... which coincides with what I say about God can’t be at the same place at the same time—God the Father, God the Son, or God the testator...

The Holy Ghost was talking to Nephi till this verse, when Christ is in the picture, and now “the angel” is used... may still be The Holy Ghost, but Nephi refers to him as “the angel”...

And in verse, 12 of 1 Nephi, chapter 11, we read, "And it came to pass that he said unto me: Look! And I looked as if to look upon him, and I saw him not; for he had gone from before my presence."

As if both thr Spirit and the Son of God both be in the same place, both being seen by the same mortal being on a mortal plane

Who can tell me why?

Actually, I think I know why... It is because Jesus is going to come-on-the-scene in thr next verse and then stay for the duration of the chaoter... Can't have two Gods in the same place, at the same time, for no special teason... Must have something to do with the economy of God!

Actually, every time that Jesus Christ or God the Father reveal themselves to man, the Holy Ghost will also be there, and, God the Father often or always makes an introduction of His Son when the second comforter is given...
