RE: They believe in Jesus Christ as The Son of God
Be careful, there is a difference between believing that Jesus is THE Son of God and believing that He is A SON of God.
And when they talk about God, you have to remember that their concept of God is different from the Catholic concept of God.
“As man is, God once was; as God is, man may become.” (LDS President Lorenzo Snow, June 1840 ).
According to Mormon teaching -— God was once a mere mortal man, this couplet also declares that man has the potential to become God!
Is that Christian belief? Is this the God you believe in?

A valid point is made in this statement.
The doctrine of man becoming god has been explained to me as follows. Christ is Gods firstborn son, there can be no other firstborn. Jesus Christ is also "Christ", there is only one. Man will not become God. Man will if he accepts Christ as his Lord and follows Him will inherit all that Christ has. Christ said that He would inherit all that His Father had. Mormons say this means all titles, authority, all power and all dominion. If Christ inherits all His Father has that makes Him God. IF we inherit all that Christ has and Christ has all that His Father has what does that make us? The New Testament used the term referring to Christs followers as Joint Heirs.
So as appalling as becoming god sounds I understand it and don't (now) find it offensive.
Thinking that God was ever like man is something I can't explain for you you will have to ask some learned Mormon about that, they are here perhaps they will answer the question.
