Questions.

It's times like these that I wish I had a father or a husband that I could turn to for spiritual guidance.  This weekend one of my friends, who is a Jehovah Witness, her husband posed some questions to me. Not that I doubt or would change my faith but he posed questions which made me think.  He asked what God's name was.  Now if you asked me I would say that the earth was created by three personages, Elohim (God), Jehovah (Jesus), and Michael (the archangel who later is Adam).  But he told me that Elohim is plural for Gods, that which I knew but while reading Bruce R. McConkie's, The Mormon Doctrine, he states that when referred to Elohim as a person it means the God of all God's, the Almighty God. I guess my question that I pose to others out there that may read this is, if Jehovah is Jesus, why in Moses is Jehovah referencing God, is it because Jesus is the God of Israel?

Also- he asked why Mormons participate in politics and fight in wars.  He stated that Jehovah Witnesses stay neutral so that they don't fight amongst their members. I know that the LDS are neutral as a church but encouraged to participate in politics. Her husband mentioned something about how Jesus stated we shouldn't be involved in politics, (I am not sure where that is at, but the question was posed and I don't know the answer).

He went on to ask me about the military because JW's don't participate in the military either.  He said what if we had a war with Sweden and in Sweden there were a bunch of members, we would then be fighting against members of our own faith.

All logical questions and I will continue to study them on my own, I just wanted to ask for advice for any of you smart people out there.
