These two points conflict with Mormon doctrine:

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost

" When the Virgin Mary conceived the Jesus, the Father had begotten him in his own likeness. He was not begotten by the Holy Ghost... (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 1:50-51) "

Bruce R. McConkie, deceased member of the 12 Apostles (d.1985) and leading LDS theologian, writes in Mormon Doctrine: "but the Holy ghost is not the Father of Christ and when the Child was born, he was "the Son of the eternal Father. —page 743

born of the virgin Mary

The birth of the Savior was as natural as are the births of our children; it was the result of natural action. He partook of flesh and blood- was begotten of his Father, as we are of our fathers. (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, 8:115)

In relation to the way in which I look upon the works of God and his creatures, I will say that I was naturally begotten; so was my father, and also my Savior Jesus Christ. According to the Scriptures, he is the first begotten of his father in the flesh, and there was nothing unnatural about it. (Heber C. Kimball, Journal of discourses, 8:211)

So you see, the Mormon Jesus was conceived by "Heavenly Father" having physical sex with the suddenly-no-longer-virgin Mary. So according to them, your creeds are abominations.

And this is from a con-man who had something over 30 illegal wives (several taken from other men) including one aged 14...ALL LESS THAN 200 YEARS AGO???

Which is the real abomination?
