Gov. Mitt Romney give his politicized version of the Mormon Church.. Now, here is The Truth about the Mormon Church

Now, here’s a comparison of the Mormon teaching and the full and real truth.

COMPARISON CHART OF MORMON [LDS] AND BIBLICAL TEACHINGS
Mormon Teaching	Biblical Teaching
GOD. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are three separate Gods, though one Godhead. God the Father was once a mortal man like us and became exalted to Godhead. He still has a physical body. He has a wife in heaven, a Goddess.	GOD. There is one and only one God (Is. 43:10; 44:6-8; 1 Tim. 2:5); The “Godhead” is one Divine Being (Acts 17:24-29). God the Father was and is not a man but is an infinite Spirit (Ps. 139:7-10; John 4:20-24). There is no Goddess.
MAN. All human beings were spirit children of God and his wife in a preexistent spirit world and can become Gods, like the Father, through exaltation.	MAN. The first man became a living being when he was formed from dust (Gen. 2:7). Christ preexisted in heaven, but we did not (John 3:13, 30-31; 8:56-58).
CHRIST. Jesus was the firstborn of God’s billions of spirit children. He became a God in the spirit world. He was conceived and born of Mary and God the Father as his literal, natural mother and father in the flesh.	CHRIST. Jesus is the only heavenly, divine Son of God (John 1:14-18; 5:17-23; etc.). He has always been God (Ps. 90:2; John 1:1; Heb.1:10-12). He was conceived and born of Mary by the Holy Spirit(Matt. 1:18; Luke 1:35).
SALVATION. Christ’s suffering in Gethsemane guarantees the salvation of all but a perverse few, whether they believe or not, to one of three heavens. Exaltation to Godhead comes to full participants in the LDS religion and temple ceremonies. Many people will be saved in the afterlife through the LDS baptism for the dead.	SALVATION. Christ’s death (Rom. 5:8-10; 1 Pet. 2:23) saves only believers (John 3:16-18; Rom. 3:21-28). Unbelievers will get eternal punishment, while believers will get eternal life (Matt. 25:46; John 5:28-29; Rom. 6:23). No one can become a God (Is. 43:10). There is no second chance after death (Heb. 9:26). Baptism for the dead was unknown except among heretics (1 Cor. 15:29).
CHURCH. The LDS Church is the only true Church. Early Christianity became apostate and the church was dead for over a millennium until Joseph Smith.	CHURCH. Some people would become apostates, but never the whole church (Matt. 16:18; 18:20; 28:20; Eph. 5:25-27; 1 Tim. 4:1; Jude 3).

The Virgin Birth

The Bible specifically states, and the Christian Church has historically affirmed, that the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary and she, a virgin, gave birth to Jesus. The Mormon Church has clearly denied this teaching. Heavenly Father is the father of Jesus, not only in his spirit body, but of his physical body, as well. Though often embarrassing to modern-day Mormons, their Church leaders have clearly taught that Heavenly Father, not only, had relations with his daughter, Mary, to father Jesus, but also married her. How can the Mormon Church completely disregard the plain teaching of the Bible on this point? The answer is found in their view of the Scriptures.

The Mormon Church and the Holy Bible

The Mormon Church has four standard works: the Bible, the Book of Mormon, Doctrines and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. Of these, only one–the Bible–is claimed by the Mormon Church to be mistranslated and, thus, to be unreliable in places. This means the other Mormon Scriptures and the revelations of Mormon prophets are more reliable than the Bible. Clearly, the teachings of the Mormon Church on the important fundamental beliefs regarding God, Jesus and the Bible are vastly different from those held by the Christian Church at large.

Without question this troubles some when considering a political candidate. When Mr. Romney says he holds to the same beliefs as other Americans, perhaps he does. However, if he holds to the teachings of his Church then his is a different God, a different Jesus, and a different view of the Scripture than that of the Christian Church. Until the record is clear on this, it is understandable that the media and Evangelicals should continue to question him on these major points of difference.

Doctrinal Documentation Quotes from Mormon Publications

“Is it not feasible to believe that female spirits were created in the image of a ‘Mother in Heaven’?” Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith, Jr. Answers to Gospel Questions, p 44

“To become like [God] we must have all the powers of godhood; thus a man and his wife when glorified will have spirit children who eventually will go on an earth like this one we are on...and if faithful, then they also will receive the fullness of exaltation and partake of the same blessings…We will become gods and have jurisdiction over worlds, and these worlds will be peopled by our own offspring.” Achieving a Celestial Marriage (Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1976), p. 132

“…our Father in heaven was once a man as we are now...By obedience to eternal gospel principles, he progressed from one stage of life to another until he attained the state that we call exaltation or Godhead. In such a condition, he and our mother in heaven were empowered to give birth to spirit children whose potential was equal to that of their heavenly parents. We are those spirit children.” Ibid.

“The appointment of Jesus to be the Savior of the world was contested by one of the other sons of God. He was called Lucifer...this spirit-brother of Jesus desperately tried to become the Savior of

(Salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), p. 23 mankind.” Apostle Milton R. Hunter, The Gospel Through the Ages, p.15

“The fleshly body of Jesus required a Mother as well as a Father. Therefore, the Father and Mother of Jesus, according to the flesh, must have been associated together in the capacity of Husband and Wife; hence the Virgin Mary must have been, for some time being, the lawful wife of God the Father: we use the term lawful Wife, because it would be blasphemous in the highest degree to say that He overshadowed her to begat the Saviour unlawfully…But God having created all men and women, had the most perfect right to do with His own creation, according to His holy will and pleasure: He had a lawful right to overshadow the Virgin Mary in the capacity of a husband, and to beget a Son, although she was espoused to another.” Apostle Orson Pratt, The Seer, p. 158

“...President Hinckley spoke of those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints ‘do not believe in the traditional Christ. No we don’t. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I
