"For man is spirit." Doctrines & Covenants 93:33
Mormon theology has it exactly backwards. "God is spirit" (John 4:24a). Man is not spirit. God does not have a body, but man does. Man did not become God, but God became a man. Christ Jesus.
See how backwards Mormonism has it? Their false prophet, Joseph Smith, was quite the imaginative storyteller. He stole what he wanted from the Bible, plagiarizing several chapters word-for-word from the book of Isaiah, and ignored the context and the overall meaning. Not to mention his many blunders where he assumed something from the Bible meant something else (like his use of "Sabaoth," thinking it meant Sabbath). The above "revelation" stands in complete contradiction to what the Word of God says:
"Man was also in the beginning with God." Doctrines & Covenants 93:29

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. . . . And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:1-2, 14
Man was not in the beginning with God. God eternally exists from past to future. Since God has eternally existed, who knows how long it was before He decided to create man. Man is God's creation, made in His image and likeness. There is nothing eternal about man. Man is finite, mortal, limited. God is infinite, immortal, and limitless.
Mormons fail to grasp the purpose and meaning of cross-references. Cross-references are used to refer to related information in other locations. If you examine the cross-references given in Doctrines & Covenants for the above two verses, neither the biblical references nor the Mormon references have anything to do with each other, other than some similar words being used. In other words, the majority of Mormon cross-references are merely the practice of the exegetical fallacy of Collapsing Context. Doctrines & Covenants 93:33 cross-references John 4:24, yet there is no related content between the two, other than the words "is spirit."
Mormon theology is based on the fantastical storytelling of Joseph Smith, who used to tell the exact same stories around the dinner table when he was a child. Archaeological, historical, and scientific research have all demonstrated that there is no evidence to support any of the information given in the Book of Mormon. No such ethnicities, no such events, no such locations. No history of such things has been found. No monetary units of said groups have been found. Zero, zilch, nada. Everything Mormon is completely and utterly fabricated.
There are numerous similarities between the false religion of Mormonism and the false religion of Islam, as well as the false prophet Joseph Smith and the false prophet Muhammad. Both are claimed to have had little education; both claimed to receive special "revelation" from God; both claimed that God gave them permission to practice polygamy (as other false religions, false prophets, and cult leaders have done, including David Koresh). You can always identify a false prophet and a false religion when it is based on sex. When a "prophet" tries to convince you that in order to make your marriage stronger, God has commanded him to sleep with your wife, do not be a fool and fall for his satanic lies. When a "prophet" tries to convince you that God has commanded him to sleep with your daughters, do not be a fool and fall for his satanic lies. When a "prophet" tries to convince you that God has commanded that he alone is allowed to have sex or to have multiple wives, or that God has commanded that men are allowed to have multiple wives, do not be a fool and fall for his satanic lies. When a "prophet" tries to convince you that God has commanded that in Heaven or Paradise you will have multiple virgins for eternity or you will be having sex for eternity, do not be a fool and fall for his satanic lies. False religions created by men tend to revolve around sex. False religions created by women tend to revolve around emotional experiences and a false, erroneous understanding of "love."
Mormon theology is completely backwards from biblical theology. If you believe and follow Mormonism, then I have a bridge and some swamp land I would like to sell you . . .
