How Leon Bible Misleads Readers About Dake’s Mormon-Like Teachings

Introduction: A Systematic Cover-Up

When Leon Bible wrote his biography of Finis Jennings Dake in 2006, he faced an insurmountable challenge: how to defend the indefensible. Dake’s teachings about God having a physical body, the Trinity being three separate Gods, and humans being “in the God class” aligned so closely with Mormon doctrine that critics had long noted the disturbing parallels. Rather than honestly addressing these similarities, Leon Bible chose the path of deception—minimizing, misrepresenting, and outright denying the obvious connections between Dake’s theology and Mormonism.

In Appendix Eleven of his book, titled “The Mormon Doctrine of God,” Leon Bible attempts what can only be described as theological sleight of hand. He presents carefully selected quotes from Dake that appear orthodox while ignoring or suppressing the vast body of Dake’s writings that teach exactly what Mormons teach. This isn’t merely poor scholarship—it’s deliberate misrepresentation designed to protect Dake’s reputation at the expense of truth.

The stakes of this deception are enormous. Thousands of sincere Christians have been led into heretical beliefs about the nature of God through Dake’s teachings, often without realizing they’ve departed from biblical Christianity. Leon Bible’s attempts to sanitize these teachings only compound the damage, giving false assurance to those who should be warned about the dangerous errors they’re embracing.

Leon Bible’s Opening Gambit: Mocking the Critics

Leon Bible begins his defense with mockery, writing:

Notice the dismissive tone—”a few rare occasions,” “the idea is laughable.” This rhetorical strategy attempts to marginalize critics before even addressing their concerns. But as we’ll demonstrate through extensive documentation, the parallels between Dake’s teachings and Mormon doctrine are neither rare nor laughable—they’re systematic, fundamental, and undeniable.

Leon Bible’s claim that those who have “studied both the Dake writings and Mormon doctrine” find the comparison laughable is particularly ironic. As we’ll see, a careful study of both reveals striking similarities that Leon Bible either failed to notice (suggesting incompetence) or deliberately concealed (suggesting dishonesty).

The First Deception: Mormons and the Trinity

Leon Bible writes:

He then contrasts this with Dake’s supposed position:

This quote, carefully selected by Leon Bible, makes Dake sound orthodox. But what did Dake really teach about the Trinity? Let’s examine what Leon Bible deliberately omitted:

Do you see what Leon Bible did? He quoted Dake saying the three persons are “one” but failed to mention that Dake explicitly taught they are NOT one in number or essence, but only one in unity of purpose—exactly what Mormons teach! Dake consistently taught throughout his writings that the Trinity consists of three completely separate beings who work together, not one God in three persons as orthodox Christianity teaches. Dake himself wrote emphatically: “The only sense in which three can be one is in unity—never in number of persons.”¹² He even compared this unity to how disciples remain separate individuals with their own bodies, souls, and spirits, yet are unified in purpose.¹³

Furthermore, Dake taught that “The Bible does not say that God is one person constituted of three persons. This could never be, but God can be three distinct persons as separate and distinct as any three persons we know of in this life. This is comprehensible, but the other is not, for there can be no such thing as three persons in one person.”²⁶ He explicitly denied that God exists as “three persons in one person,” calling such a concept not only “unscriptural, but ridiculous to say the least.”²⁷

The Second Deception: God’s Equality and Authority

Leon Bible presents the Mormon position and Dake’s supposed refutation:

Leon Bible then claims:

Once again, Leon Bible presents a carefully selected quote that makes Dake appear orthodox. But what else did Dake teach about the relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?

Do you see the pattern? Leon Bible quotes Dake affirming “equality” while hiding Dake’s extensive teachings about hierarchy and subordination within the Godhead—teachings that align perfectly with the Mormon concept of God the Father as the supreme authority with the Son and Spirit in subordinate roles.

The Third Deception: God Having a Physical Body

This is where Leon Bible’s deception becomes most egregious. He writes:

This is perhaps the most deceptive statement in Leon Bible’s entire appendix. He makes it sound as if Dake’s teaching about God having a “spirit body” is fundamentally different from the Mormon teaching about God having a physical body. But let’s look at what Dake actually taught:

Leon Bible tries to create a distinction between Dake’s “spirit body” and the Mormon “flesh and bones body,” but this is a distinction without a difference. Both teach that:

• God has a tangible body with parts
• God’s body is located in one place at a time
• God must travel to move from place to place
• God is not omnipresent in His essential being
• Each person of the Trinity has their own separate body

The only difference is the supposed material composition—”spirit” versus “flesh and bones”—but both agree that God has a real, tangible, localized body that limits His presence to one location. This is the heresy of divine corporeality, regardless of what the body is supposedly made of. Dake explicitly taught: “The 284 passages on spirits in Scripture prove that spirit bodies are just as real and capable of operation in the material worlds as are flesh beings.”¹⁸ He further clarified: “A spirit body has shape, form, and bodily parts. It occupies space and can be in only one place at a time.”³⁰

Mormon Teaching	Dake’s Teaching
God has a tangible body with parts	“Spirit bodies are just as real and tangible with bodily parts as ours”
God’s body is in heaven	“God came down from heaven to earth”
The Father and Son have separate bodies	“God the Father, God the Son… each has His own personal spirit body”
God is not omnipresent in body	“God is NOT omnipresent in body but in Spirit through the Holy Spirit”

The Fourth Deception: The Nature of Divinity

Leon Bible addresses the Mormon teaching about multiple gods and humans becoming gods:

Once again, Leon Bible is being deceptive. While it’s true that Dake criticized the serpent’s promise in Genesis 3:5 (“ye shall be as gods”), let’s look at what Dake actually taught about the nature of humanity and divinity:

Do you see the deception? Leon Bible quotes Dake criticizing the idea of becoming “gods” through Satan’s temptation, while completely hiding the fact that Dake taught humans are already “in the God class of beings” and “of the same species” as God! This is essentially the Mormon doctrine of eternal progression—the idea that God and humans are fundamentally the same type of being, differing only in degree of development.

The Fifth Deception: God’s Eternal Nature

Leon Bible writes about the Mormon belief that God had a beginning:

Here Leon Bible is technically correct that Dake taught God is eternal. However, he fails to mention the implications of Dake’s other teachings. If humans are “in the God class” and “of the same species” as God, then the distinction between Creator and creature collapses. While Dake didn’t explicitly teach that God was once a man like the Mormons do, his theology opens the door to this conclusion.

Leon Bible’s Methodological Deception

Throughout his appendix on Mormonism, Leon Bible employs several deceptive techniques to mislead readers:

1. Selective Quotation

Leon Bible consistently selects quotes from Dake that sound orthodox while ignoring the vast body of Dake’s writings that teach heterodox or heretical doctrines. This is like quoting a few orthodox-sounding statements from Joseph Smith while ignoring the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants.

2. False Distinctions

He creates artificial distinctions between Dake’s teachings and Mormon doctrine that don’t hold up under examination. The difference between a “spirit body” and a “flesh and bones body” is irrelevant when both agree that God has a tangible, localized body with parts.

3. Strawman Arguments

He focuses on peripheral differences (like whether God was once a man) while ignoring fundamental similarities (like God having a body, the Trinity being three separate beings, and humans being in the same class as God).

4. Appeal to Mockery

By beginning with the claim that the comparison is “laughable,” he attempts to prejudice readers against any serious examination of the parallels.

5. Redefining Terms

Like Dake himself, Leon Bible uses orthodox terminology while pouring heterodox meaning into the terms. When Dake says the Trinity is “one,” he means one in purpose, not essence—but Leon Bible presents this as if it were orthodox teaching.

The Devastating Parallels: A Comprehensive Comparison

To fully grasp the extent of Leon Bible’s deception, we must examine the comprehensive parallels between Dake’s teachings and Mormon doctrine. These aren’t superficial similarities but fundamental agreements on the nature of God, humanity, and salvation.

Orthodox Christianity	Dake’s Teaching	Mormon Doctrine
God is pure spirit without body or parts	God has a tangible spirit body with parts	God has a tangible body of flesh and bones
One God in three persons	Three separate Gods unified in purpose	Three separate Gods unified in purpose
God is omnipresent in His being	God is not omnipresent in body	God is not omnipresent in body
Creator-creature distinction is absolute	Humans are “in the God class”	Humans can become gods
God transcends space and time	God moves from place to place	God dwells on a planet near Kolob
The Trinity shares one divine essence	Each person has separate body, soul, spirit	Each god is a separate being

The Anthropomorphite Connection: An Ancient Heresy Revived

What Leon Bible fails to mention is that both Dake and the Mormons have revived an ancient heresy known as Anthropomorphitism. This heresy, condemned by the early church, taught that God has a human form with physical parts. The Anthropomorphites of the 4th century, like Dake and the Mormons, interpreted biblical anthropomorphisms literally.

Both Dake and the Mormons are modern Anthropomorphites. They make the same interpretive errors, reach the same heretical conclusions, and create the same theological problems that the early church recognized and rejected. Leon Bible’s attempt to distinguish between them is like trying to distinguish between two people who both claim the earth is flat but disagree on whether it’s supported by elephants or turtles.

The Implications of Divine Corporeality

Leon Bible completely ignores the devastating theological implications of teaching that God has a body. Whether that body is made of “spirit” (Dake) or “flesh and bones” (Mormons), the problems are identical:

1. Omnipresence Becomes Impossible

A body, by definition, exists in one location. It has boundaries, dimensions, and spatial limitations. If God has a body, He cannot be omnipresent. Both Dake and Mormons solve this problem the same way—by denying that God is omnipresent in His essential being. Dake explicitly taught: “God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are all present where there are beings with whom they have dealings; but they are not omnibody, that is, their bodies are not omnipresent. All three go from place to place bodily as other beings in the universe do.”¹⁹

2. Infinity Becomes Meaningless

An infinite being cannot have a body because bodies are finite by definition. They have measurable dimensions, specific locations, and defined boundaries. Both Dake and Mormons implicitly deny God’s infinity by attributing a body to Him.

3. The Incarnation Loses Its Meaning

If God already has a body, what was unique about the incarnation? Why was it remarkable that “the Word became flesh” if God always had some form of body? Both Dake’s and Mormon theology undermine the miracle of the incarnation.

4. Worship Becomes Confused

Jesus said we must worship God “in spirit and truth” because “God is spirit” (John 4:24). If God has a body located in heaven, worship becomes directed toward a localized being rather than the omnipresent Spirit.

5. Prayer Becomes Problematic

How can a God with a body in one location hear millions of prayers simultaneously from around the globe? Both Dake and Mormons must resort to complex explanations about how God processes information through other means.

Examining Dake’s “God Class” Teaching

One of the most damning parallels between Dake and Mormonism that Leon Bible completely ignores is Dake’s teaching about humans being “in the God class.” This teaching essentially erases the Creator-creature distinction and opens the door to the Mormon doctrine of eternal progression.

Think about the implications of these statements:

• If humans and God are “of the same species,” then the difference between them is not essential but accidental
• If humans are “in the God class,” then they possess divine nature inherently
• If all beings including God have “similar shapes and forms,” then God is simply a more powerful version of the same type of being we are

This is precisely the theological foundation for the Mormon doctrine of eternal progression—the belief that humans can become gods because they are essentially the same type of being as God, just less developed.

The Trinity Disaster: Three Gods or One?

Perhaps nowhere is Leon Bible’s deception more evident than in his treatment of Dake’s doctrine of the Trinity. He works hard to make it appear that Dake believed in one God in three persons (orthodoxy) when Dake actually taught three Gods unified in purpose (tritheism/polytheism).

Let’s examine the evidence Leon Bible suppressed:

Notice Dake’s consistent pattern:

1. He redefines “one” to mean unity of purpose rather than unity of essence
2. He insists each person has their own separate body, soul, and spirit
3. He uses the phrase “separate and distinct persons” repeatedly
4. He explicitly denies they are one in number

This is not the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity but tritheism—belief in three Gods. It’s exactly what Mormons teach, just using slightly different terminology.

The “Spirit Body” Deception

Leon Bible tries desperately to distinguish between Dake’s “spirit body” and the Mormon “flesh and bones body,” but this distinction is meaningless. Let’s examine why:

What is a Body?

A body, by definition, is a bounded, spatial entity with:

• Location (it exists in one place at a time)
• Dimensions (it has measurable size)
• Parts (it has components that make up the whole)
• Boundaries (it has limits where it ends and other things begin)

Whether this body is made of flesh, spirit, energy, or pixie dust is irrelevant. If it has these characteristics, it’s a body with all the limitations that entails.

According to Dake, a “spirit body”:

• Is “just as real and tangible” as physical bodies
• Has all the same parts as physical bodies
• Occupies space like physical bodies
• Can only be in one place at a time like physical bodies

So what’s the difference between Dake’s “spirit body” and the Mormon “flesh and bones body”? Functionally, nothing! Both limit God to spatial existence, both deny His omnipresence, both make Him a localized being, and both contradict the biblical teaching that “God is spirit” (John 4:24).

The Problem of Anthropomorphism

Both Dake and the Mormons make the same fundamental interpretive error: they interpret anthropomorphic language literally. When the Bible speaks of God’s “hands” or “eyes,” they assume God literally has hands and eyes.

Leon Bible never addresses this fundamental issue. He never explains how Dake determined which descriptions of God to take literally (hands, feet, eyes) and which to take figuratively (wings, being a rock, being a consuming fire). This selective literalism is the root of both Dake’s and Mormonism’s errors about God’s nature.

The Philosophical Problems

Leon Bible completely ignores the philosophical impossibilities created by teaching that God has a body:

1. The Problem of Creation

If God has a body that exists in space, then space must have existed before or alongside God. But if God created “all things” (John 1:3), how could He create the space in which His own body exists? Both Dake and Mormons must posit that some reality (space) exists independently of God’s creative act.

2. The Problem of Infinity

The Bible describes God as infinite (Psalm 147:5). But a body, by definition, is finite—it has boundaries, limits, and measurable dimensions. How can an infinite being have a finite body? Both Dake and Mormons must either deny God’s infinity or redefine it beyond recognition.

3. The Problem of Simplicity

Classical Christian theology teaches that God is simple—without parts or composition. This is because anything with parts depends on those parts for its existence. But a body necessarily has parts. Both Dake and Mormons make God a composite being dependent on His parts.

4. The Problem of Visibility

The Bible says God is invisible (1 Timothy 1:17). But bodies, whether physical or “spiritual,” have form and shape that could theoretically be seen. How can God be invisible if He has a visible form? Both Dake and Mormons must redefine “invisible” to mean “currently unseen” rather than “inherently unseeable.”

Leon Bible’s Selective Blindness

Throughout his appendix on Mormonism, Leon Bible displays what can only be described as selective blindness to the obvious parallels between Dake and Mormon doctrine. Consider what he wrote versus what he ignored:

What Leon Bible Highlighted	What Leon Bible Ignored
Dake said God has a “spirit” body not “flesh and bones”	Dake said spirit bodies are “just as real and tangible with bodily parts as ours”
Dake said the three persons are “one”	Dake said they are one in unity, NOT one in number
Dake criticized the serpent’s promise to become “gods”	Dake taught humans are already “in the God class”
Dake taught God is eternal	Dake taught God and humans are “of the same species”
Dake affirmed equality in the Godhead	Dake taught the Father is greater in authority

This pattern of selective quotation and deliberate omission can only be described as deceptive. Leon Bible had access to all of Dake’s writings. He chose to present only those portions that could be construed as orthodox while suppressing the vast evidence of Dake’s heterodoxy.

The Practical Consequences

Leon Bible’s deception isn’t merely an academic issue. It has real-world consequences for those who trust his evaluation of Dake’s teachings:

1. False Assurance

Readers who rely on Leon Bible’s assessment may continue using the Dake Bible, unaware they’re being taught heretical doctrines about God’s nature. They receive false assurance that Dake’s teachings are orthodox when they’re actually aligned with Mormon theology.

2. Spiritual Confusion

Those who accept Dake’s teachings about God having a body, the Trinity being three separate beings, and humans being “in the God class” will experience cognitive dissonance when these teachings conflict with biblical Christianity. This confusion can lead to spiritual crisis or abandonment of faith.

3. Evangelistic Compromise

Christians who adopt Dake’s theology lose the ability to effectively witness to Mormons because they’ve essentially adopted Mormon theology with slightly different terminology. How can they explain that Mormonism is wrong when they believe essentially the same things about God’s nature?

4. Theological Drift

Once the fundamental doctrine of God is corrupted, every other doctrine is affected. The Trinity, incarnation, salvation, and glorification all depend on a proper understanding of God’s nature. Dake’s errors, whitewashed by Leon Bible, create a cascading series of theological problems.

5. Ecumenical Confusion

Leon Bible’s deception contributes to the broader confusion about what constitutes orthodox Christianity. If Dake’s essentially Mormon theology can be passed off as biblical, then the boundaries between Christianity and non-Christian religions become hopelessly blurred.

A Detailed Examination of Each Deception

Let’s now examine each of Leon Bible’s major claims in detail, exposing the deception through comprehensive documentation from Dake’s own writings:

Deception #1: “Dake Believed in the Trinity”

Leon Bible wants readers to believe that Dake held to the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity. But what did Dake actually teach?

The pattern is unmistakable. Dake consistently taught:

• Three separate persons (not one God in three persons)
• Each with their own body, soul, and spirit (not sharing one divine essence)
• United only in purpose (not in being or essence)
• Distinct beings who work together (not distinctions within one being)

This is tritheism, not Trinitarianism. It’s exactly what Mormons teach, just using the word “Trinity” while redefining it to mean something entirely different.

Deception #2: “Dake Opposed the Physical God of Mormonism”

Leon Bible makes much of the fact that Dake said God has a “spirit body” not a body of “flesh and bones” like Mormons teach. But this distinction is meaningless when we examine what Dake meant by “spirit body.”

According to Dake, God’s “spirit body”:

• Has all the same parts as a human body
• Is tangible and real
• Occupies space
• Can only be in one location
• Must move from place to place
• Has measurable dimensions

How is this fundamentally different from the Mormon teaching? The only difference is what the body is supposedly made of—but both agree God has a localized, tangible body with parts. This is the heresy of divine corporeality regardless of the body’s composition.

Deception #3: “Dake Rejected the Idea of Becoming Gods”

Leon Bible quotes Dake criticizing Satan’s promise that humans could become “gods,” implying Dake rejected any notion of human divinity. But look at what Dake actually taught:

While Dake criticized Satan’s specific temptation in Eden, he taught that humans are already in the “God class” and will eventually “share in His divine nature fully.” This is essentially the Mormon doctrine of eternal progression with slightly different packaging.

The Biblical Response to These Heresies

Having exposed Leon Bible’s deceptions and Dake’s actual teachings, we must establish what the Bible really teaches about these matters:

Why Leon Bible’s Deception Matters

Some might ask: “Why does this matter? Why spend time exposing Leon Bible’s misrepresentations?” The answer is that truth matters, especially truth about God’s nature:

1. The Glory of God is at Stake

When we misrepresent God’s nature, we rob Him of glory. The infinite, omnipresent, spiritual God of the Bible is infinitely more glorious than the limited, bodied deity of Dake and the Mormons. Leon Bible’s deception perpetuates this diminished view of God.

2. The Gospel is Compromised

If God already has a body, the incarnation becomes meaningless. If humans are already “in the God class,” salvation becomes unnecessary. If the Trinity is three separate Gods, monotheism becomes polytheism. These errors strike at the heart of the gospel message.

3. Souls are Being Deceived

People who trust Leon Bible’s evaluation of Dake continue using materials that teach heresy. They’re being led away from biblical truth into errors that have eternal consequences. This deception must be exposed for their sake.

4. The Church’s Witness is Damaged

When Christians teach essentially Mormon doctrine while claiming it’s biblical, the church’s witness is compromised. How can we evangelize Mormons when we believe the same things about God’s nature? How can we claim to have the truth when we teach the same errors?

5. Future Generations are at Risk

Leon Bible’s book will influence future readers who may never investigate Dake’s actual teachings. His deceptions will perpetuate error for generations unless they’re exposed and corrected.

The Broader Pattern of Deception in Dake Apologetics

Leon Bible’s deception about Dake’s Mormon-like teachings is part of a broader pattern among Dake defenders. They consistently employ similar tactics:

1. Redefinition of Terms

Like Dake himself, his defenders use orthodox terminology while pouring heterodox meaning into the terms. They’ll say Dake believed in “one God” while meaning one in purpose only. They’ll affirm the “Trinity” while meaning three separate Gods.

2. Selective Quotation

They cherry-pick quotes that sound orthodox while ignoring the mountain of evidence showing Dake’s actual heterodox beliefs. This is intellectual dishonesty of the highest order.

3. False Distinctions

They create artificial distinctions that don’t hold up under examination. The difference between a “spirit body” and a “physical body” is meaningless when both are described as tangible, localized, and limited.

4. Appeal to Authority

They cite Dake’s years of study, his knowledge of Hebrew and Greek, or his pastoral experience as if these credentials validate his teachings. But heresy remains heresy regardless of the heretic’s resume.

5. Attacking Critics

Rather than addressing the substantive theological issues, they attack those who point out Dake’s errors as “divisive,” “unloving,” or “theologically naive.” This is a deflection tactic to avoid dealing with the real problems.

Conclusion: The Verdict on Leon Bible’s Deception

After examining the evidence, the verdict is clear: Leon Bible has systematically deceived readers about the nature and extent of Dake’s Mormon-like teachings. Whether this deception was intentional or the result of theological blindness, the effect is the same—readers are misled about fundamental doctrinal errors that strike at the heart of Christian faith.

The parallels between Dake’s teachings and Mormon doctrine are not “laughable” as Leon Bible claims—they are extensive, fundamental, and undeniable:

• Both teach God has a tangible body with parts
• Both deny God’s essential omnipresence
• Both teach three separate divine beings rather than one God
• Both blur the Creator-creature distinction
• Both interpret anthropomorphisms literally
• Both limit God to spatial existence
• Both make God essentially a super-powered being like us

Leon Bible’s attempt to distinguish between these parallel teachings relies on superficial differences while ignoring fundamental agreements. It’s like arguing that two people who both claim the earth is flat aren’t teaching the same thing because one says it’s supported by elephants and the other says it’s supported by turtles.

The God of the Bible—infinite, omnipresent, spiritual, and truly one—is infinitely more glorious than the limited, localized, bodied gods of Dake and the Mormons. Don’t settle for a diminished deity when the true God has revealed Himself in Scripture. Don’t be deceived by those who would make God in man’s image rather than acknowledging that man was made in God’s image—an image that is moral and spiritual, not physical.

May God grant His people discernment to recognize error, courage to reject it, and wisdom to embrace the truth of His Word.
