(6) Although Islam denies the divinty of Jesus, Mormonism affirms His deity, however, in a peculiar way that affrims the potential godhood of all humans - again, a concept foreign to both the Hebrew Bible and the NT.

Not so fast - that concept is mentioned in passing in Psalms 82:6, in Isaiah, and by Jesus Himself in John 10:34.

I'm sorry, but I really think that too many OT & NT passages contradict this idea.

When you read Revelation, for example, the redeemed saints there are all bowing down to worship the Lamb Jesus, they are not all getting up on a throne to be adored, which they would have the right to do if they really were little gods.

Jesus was being sarcastic, as was the Psalmist.

John 10:29-32 reads, "My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? "

Nowhere in scripture do we see Jesus equating anyone other than himself with God. Jesus is "exclusively" equal with God. This is the common and orthodox Christian view, but it is not shared by Mormonism.
