Where does the Bible state this?

You should know that my intention is to accurately depict Mormon views for the purpose of comparing and contrasting them with those of historic Christianity, and I believe I have done so by relying on LDS sources such as The Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, Pearl of Great Price and the writings of LDS “prophets, seers and revelators.” As you suggest, Mormon.org is a good site for learning about LDS teachings, and I’ve often gone there. The problem is that the site’s statements of belief are overly simplified and vague to the point where it seems the LDS Church is trying to make itself look like just another Christian denomination, exactly the opposite of what Joseph Smith taught. The bottom line to me is this: Does the LDS Church today teach that Mormonism and orthodox Christianity are compatible? If so, then Joseph Smith is a false prophet and the LDS Church is unnecessary. If not, then Mormon.org and other LDS public relations efforts should be honest enough to say so. My fear is that many Mormons do not know what the LDS church teaches, especially about the Person and work of Christ, salvation, and the nature and destiny of man. The writings of Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and other LDS leaders are many, varied, and in some cases contradictory — and always subject to change due to “new revelation.” I highly recommend the Bible, God’s complete and final written revelation which, like God Himself, is not subject to change.

Others are pretty bad, and seem intentionally so.

For some better information on Mormon beliefs check out Mormon.org.
