Problems in those "mormon" scriptures
www.mormanity.blogspot.com has this, and more -- allegedly from mormoncult.com -- comparing excepts from the mormon scriptures with mainstream beliefs:
Mormonism vs. Acceptable Christianity:
Mormon Confusion about the Nature of God
Teachings from LDS Scriptures
Like Joseph Smith, witnesses in the Mormon scriptures claim to have seen God and Christ as two separate beings: "But he . . . looked up steadfastly unto heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God." 1
Mainstream Christian Belief
True Christians know that God and Christ are one (John 10:30), namely one spiritual, indivisible Being of one substance without a visible body and certainly without a "right hand." And no man can see God (John 6:46), so the Mormon scripture is clearly false.
All of the comparisons are as good as this one. I have deliberately left out the footnote -- if you know your "mormon" scriptures, you don't need the reference.
