With all religions, the 2 main questions that trip up their beliefs are:
1) How do you atone for the sin that separates you from God (Romans 3:23, 6:23, Eph. 2:8,9, etc)
2) Do you believe Jesus Christ to be part of the GODHEAD?
You cannot answer ? 2 with a NO without blowing the whole answer to 1 Philippians 2:5-10
I worked for a Mormon Bishop once many years ago and they would not allow their members to see “THE GODMAKERS” a movie documentary made by 2 x-mormons who were kicked out of the mormon church for trying to debate their disagreements. I think you might still find this movie out there (e-bay perhaps) - it tells more about Mormons than the Mormons want you to know.

That is tough for the Mormon to answer coherently.
So are these:
"I know that God is not a partial God, neither a changeable being; but he is unchangeable from all eternity to all eternity" (Moroni 8:18).
"For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today and forever, and in him there is no variableness, neither shadow of changing? And now, if ye have imagined up unto yourselves a god who doth vary, and in whom there is shadow of changing, then ye have imagined up unto yourselves a god who is not a God of miracles" (Mormon 9:9-10).
"Here, then, is eternal life--to know the only wise and true God. And you have got to learn how to be Gods yourselves--to be kings and priests to God, the same as all Gods have done--by going from a small degree to another, from grace to grace, from exaltation to exaltation, until you are able to sit in glory as do those who sit enthroned in everlasting power." - King Follett Discourse
Moroni and Mormon describe God as immutable and unchanging. The KFD shows something else. How can you believe that God is at the same time immutable and changing, that from all eternity he was as he now is, but he somehow evolved from a mere mortal?
If God evolved, Moroni and Mormon are wrong. If God didn’t evolve, the KFD and Joseph Smith is wrong. Which is it?
So PD, could take a stab at these as well?
