1. There is only one True God that created the heavens and put man upon the earth.

"God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk herein." [Isaiah 42:5]

"I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded."

2. God has goddess wives.

"This doctrine that there is a Mother in Heaven was affirmed in all plainness by the First Presidency of the Church" (Bruce R. McConkie, Apostle, Mormon Doctrine, p. 516).

3. God is limited by a physical body.

"The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man's" (Doctrine and Covenants, 130:22).

"If God possesses a form, that form is of necessity of definite proportions, and therefore of limited extension and space. It is impossible for Him to occupy at one time more than one space of such limits" (James E. Talmage, Articles of Faith, p.43)

Ask yourself if the above makes any sense. So when God doesn't possess a form, is he not limited? It is not self refuting at all! Who wrote this stuff!?!?

4. There are many gods.

"In the beginning, the head of the Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concoted a plan to create the world and people it...In all congregations when I have preached on the subject of the Deity, it has been the plurality of Gods" (Joseph Smith, Founder and First Prophet, History of the Church, vol. 6 pp. 308, 474).

5. Jesus and Satan are brothers.

"The appointment of Jesus to be the Savior of the world was contested by one of the other sons of God --Lucifer. This spirit-brother of Jesus desperately tried to become the Savior of mankind" (Milton R. Hunter, First Council of Seventy, The Gospel Through the Ages, p. 15).

6. Mary was not a virgin.

"Christ was begotten by an Immortal Father in the same way that mortal men are begotten by mortal fathers...Christ was born into the world as the literal Son of this Holy Being; He was born in the same personal, real, and literal sense that any mortal son is born to a mortal father" (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, pp. 547, 742).

7. Jesus and His disciples were guests at Cana [John 2:2]. Read John 2:1-12. This Mormon doctrine is generally not taught openly today.

• Marriage in a Mormon temple (called celestial marriage) is mandatory to progress to becoming a god in Mormonism. To fit the theology of Mormonism, the Mormon "Jesus" has to be married -- or He would only be a ministering servant to those in Moromonism's heaven who have "celestial marriage."

8. God was once just like us.

"God himself was one as we are now, and is an exalted man...I say, if you were to see him today, you would see him like a man in form...like yourselves in all the person, image, and very form as a man...He was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth" (Joseph Smith, History of the Church, vol. 6, p. 305).

9. Man may become god.

"Here then is eternal life...to know the only wise and true God; and you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves, and to be kings and priests of God, the same as all gods have done before you...To inherit the same power, the same glory and the same exaltation, until you arrive at the station of God" (Joseph Smith, History of the Church, vol. 6, p. 306).

10. Total perfection is demanded!

"We also have to forsake the sin and never repeat it, not even in our minds...In order to remain forgiven, we must never commit the sin again" (Discussion F, Uniform System for Teaching Families, pp. 35-36).

"In other words, If there is one divine law that he does not keep he is barred from participating in the (Celestial) kingdom, and figuratively guilty of all, since he is denied all" (Joseph Fielding Smith, Answers to Gospel Questions, vol. 3, p. 26).

11. The black race is a cursed people.

"Not only was Cain called upon to suffer, but because of his wickedness, he became the father of an inferior race. A curse was placed upon him and that curse has been continued through his lineage and must do so while time endures. Millions of souls have come into this world cursed with a black skin and have been denied the priveledge of Priesthood and the fulness of the blessings of the Gospel" (Joseph Fielding Smith, The Way to Perfection, p. 102).

12. The Bible is incomplete and has serious translation errors.

"Ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors -- many plain and precious things were deleted, in consequence of which error and falsehood poured into the various churches. One of the great heresies of modern Christendom is the unfounded assumption that the Bible contains all of the inspired teachings now extant among men" (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, pp. 82, 83).

My question for Mr. McConkie is: "How, then, since we have written down the various words of Jesus, can you accurately portray him as being married when he himself has said it is not so!"

13. Except for the LDS (Mormon) Church, all churches are false.

"I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; and those professors were all corrupt" (Pearl of Great Price, Joseph Smith 2:19).

"This Church is the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth" (Doctrine and Covenants, 1:30).

"There is no salvation outside the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Bruce R. McConkie, Mormon Doctrine, p. 670).

14. Joseph Smith was a holy prophet.

"I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet" (Joseph Smith, History of the Church, vol. 6, pp. 408-09).

15. Prophets are above Scripture.

"The living Prophet is more vital to us than the Standard Works (Bible, Book of Mormon, etc.). The living Prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet (David, Moses, Isaiah, etc.). Those who would remove prophets from politics would take God out of government" (LDS prophet, President Ezra Taft Benson, address at Brigham Young University, Feb 26, 1980).

15. In these last days God speaks through His Son [Hebrews 1:1,2]. The authority claimed by the Mormon Church is through an "Aaronic Priesthood," which cannot be valid since Jesus abolished it when He took its place (Hebrews 7:11-19;8:6-13), and a "Melchizedek Priesthood," which never existed as any operative "priesthood." Jesus is our ONLY High Priest in the likeness of Melchizedek -- He alone holds this priesthood permanently.

see [Hebrews 7:15-28; 9:11-15].

16. Over 500 verses deal with death, and over 300 deal with salvation. Not one verse even hints that we can be saviors of the dead.

The Bible tells us in Hebrews 9:27, "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement." Note that this isn't the Mormon concept, which states: "After this comes missionary lessons, a proxy baptism, and a series of Mormon ordinances that will allow you to become gods..."
