“So pointing out differences in the 3 persons is not a denial of the trinity.”

The scriptures show the Father presides over the Son, there are therefore not co-equal as the creeds claim.

“You certainly won’t come across early writings claiming God the Father was a human being who conceived Jesus through intercourse with Mary.”

There is no doctrine of ours that claims the Father ever experienced mortality, and the virgin birth has always been our doctrine. You are spreading falsehoods about us.

I’m not sure what you mean by a claim to being “co-equal”, and I suspect we are not speaking the same language.

Maybe a good place to start would be you pointing out which phrases in which creeds you are referring to.

“There is no doctrine of ours that claims the Father ever experienced mortality, and the virgin birth has always been our doctrine. You are spreading falsehoods about us.”

I didn’t claim your belief is that the Father experienced “mortality” in the sense he experienced death.
It is my understanding that mormons believe the Father was once a human being - a man. Is this true or untrue?

I have also been informed mormons believe the Father had relations with Mary and conceived Jesus. True or untrue?
This information came from those who practiced the mormon faith.
