Comparing Doctrines

This page is here to show you a side-by-side comparison of Mormon and Biblical teachings. By clicking on the teachings that are linked, you will be taken to a page that shows various citations of Mormon sources next to Biblical verses. This will show you in even more depth, the nature and depth of the differences between the two.

For more information about the differences that separate Mormonism and Christiaity, we recommend Witness to Mormons and The Godmakers video. These can both be purchased in our Book Store.
