I’m sorry that a direct ancestor of Christ, through whom God had designated as the Christ’s lineage had hundreds of polygamous wives (ie David, Soloman).

In retrospect, David and Solomon probably were sorry as well - With David in particular, his wives caused him great pain and problems. I don't know of any theologians who would claim that the reason David and Solomon had many wives and concubines was that it was the will of God - it was a result of them trying to be like the pagan kings of the surrounding nations, instead of like the King of Glory.

I’m sorry that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob chose Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, two of the three confirmed polygamist.

Abraham was not a polygamist - though he only had one wife, he had a child with his wife's handmaid, and that poor choice still haunts the world today - Israel and Ishmael (Arab nations). Jacob became a polygamist as a result of the deceit of his father-in-law, who gave him Leah as wife when he was supposed to give him Rachel. And yes, that polygamy also caused Jacob heartache over the years.

I’m sorry that Christ asked his disciples to be “one, even as we are one, as though father are in me and I in the that they may be one in us”.

I'm sorry, you are obviously missing some words in this quote - why not provide a reference?

I won't address the rest of your post, because you seem to get increasingly incoherent, or at least display a complete lack of understanding of orthodox Christian theology. But suffice it to say that your post does indeed support the position that Mormon theology is not Christian. That is not intended as an insult, just an acknowledgement of fact.

He's a MORMON: what would you expect?

When I post things directly from MORMONism; Inc. - they get ignored.

You'll have to ask him why...
