Evangelicals are deceived by the consistent misinterpretation of Christ's words to the Samaritan woman at the well. John 4:24, according to Evangelical Apologists, is interpreted as an ontological argument regarding the nature of God. They fail to consider the immediate context of Christ's conversation with the woman. Another misappropriation of scripture is hopscotching over to Luke 24:39.
The first article of faith of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches the fundamental Judeo-Christian truth:
We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
According to Alma 30:44:
... all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there is a Supreme Creator.
Therefore, to understand the teachings of the Restored Gospel, we want to be careful to properly interpret scripture.
