THE CURRENT TEACHING OF THE MORMON CHURCH:

Father-God has a body of flesh and bones, and was once a man like us.

"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits inthroned in yonder heavens!...He was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself did; and I will show it from the Bible." Joseph Smith, Jr., HISTORY OF THE CHURCH 6:305.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES ABOUT THE FATHER:

1. THE BIBLE DOES NOT TEACH THAT GOD IS A GLORIFIED MAN WITH A BODY OF FLESH AND BONES:
For I am God, and not man. Hsa 11:9
God is not a man. Num 23:19
God is a Spirit. Jhn 4:24
For I am the Lord, I change not. Mal 3:6
2. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYONE LIKE GOD:
O Lord, there is none like thee. 1Ch 17:20
There is none good but one, that is God. Mar 10:18
3. THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOD:
For there is one God. 1Ti 2:5
I am the Lord and there is none else Isa 45:5
There is none beside me. Isa 45:21
I am God, and there is none else. Isa 45:22
One God and Father of all. Eph 4:4-6
...thou art God alone. Psa 86:10
See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no God with me. Deu 32:39
4. WE ARE FORBIDDEN TO HAVE ANOTHER GOD:
Thou shall have none other gods before me. Deu 5:7
5. GOD IS A JEALOUS GOD:
For thou shall worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: Exd 34:14
