1. Mormon Doctrines
   1. There are many gods, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163); There is a mother goddess, (Articles of Faith, by James Talmage, p. 443); God used to be a man on another planet, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 321); After you become a good Mormon, you have the potential of becoming a god, (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pages 345-347, 354); God resides near a star called Kolob, ( Pearl of Great Price, pages 34-35; Mormon Doctrine, p. 428.)
      1. The Bible says there is only one God (Is. 43:10Is. 43:10
         English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
         10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. no...: or, nothing formed of God  
         
         WP-Bible plugin; 44:6,8; 45:5).  God is a trinity of persons, not three gods.  God is eternally God (Psalm 90:2Psalm 90:2
         English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
         2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.  
         
         WP-Bible plugin), therefore, He was never a man.  God knows of no other gods (Is. 44:8Is. 44:8
         English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
         8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. God; I: Heb. rock, etc  
         
         WP-Bible plugin).  You cannot become a god (Is. 43:10Is. 43:10
         English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
         10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. no...: or, nothing formed of God  
         
         WP-Bible plugin).  Mormonism is wrong.
      2. One God verses
         1. Isaiah 43:10Isaiah 43:10
            English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
            10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. no...: or, nothing formed of God  
            
            WP-Bible plugin, You are My witnesses, declares the Lord, And My servant whom I have chosen, in order that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me.”
         2. Isaiah 44:6Isaiah 44:6
            English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
            6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.  
            
            WP-Bible plugin, “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides Me.”
         3. Isaiah 44:8Isaiah 44:8
            English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
            8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. God; I: Heb. rock, etc  
            
            WP-Bible plugin, “Do not tremble and do not be afraid; have I not long since announced it to you and declared it? And you are My witnesses. Is there any God besides Me, or is there any other Rock? I know of none.
         4. Isaiah 45:5Isaiah 45:5
            English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
            5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:  
            
            WP-Bible plugin, “I am the Lord, and there is no other; besides Me there is no God.”
   2. The Trinity is three separate gods, (James Talmage, Articles of Faith, p. 35); God is increasing in knowledge, (Joseph Smith, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 6, p. 120); God has the form of a man, (Joseph Smith, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 6, p. 3).
   3. God the Father has a body of flesh and bones, (Doctrine and Covenants, 130:22);  God is married to his goddess wife and has spirit children, (Mormon Doctrine p. 516); We were first begotten as spirit children in heaven and then born naturally on earth, (Journal of Discourse, Vol. 4, p. 218).
      1. The Bible says that God is spirit (John 4:24John 4:24
         English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
         24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.  
         
         WP-Bible plugin) and that a spirit does not have flesh and bones (Luke 24:39Luke 24:39
         English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
         39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.  
         
         WP-Bible plugin).  Therefore, God doesn’t have a body of flesh and bones and he isn’t married to a goddess wife.
   4. Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers and we were all born as siblings in heaven to them both, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163); There is no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith as a prophet of God, (Doctrines of Salvation, Vol. 1, p. 188); There are three levels of heaven: telestial, terrestrial, and celestial, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 348).
   5. The Holy Ghost is a male personage, (A Marvelous Work and a Wonder, p 118; Journal of Discources, Vol. 5, page 179); Baptism for the dead, (Doctrines of Salvation, Vol. II, p. 141). This is a practice of baptizing each other in place of non-Mormons who are now dead. Their belief is that in the afterlife, the “newly baptized” person will be able to enter into a higher level of Mormon heaven.   …Read More…
