I mean, correct me if I’m wrong and I acknowledge I may be, but don’t LDS beliefs say that God is a man who elevated to Godhood, and when they die Mormons believe they, too, will be just as much gods as the Christian God?

Yes on both counts. This is CURRENT Mormon teaching.

Also, it seems Joseph Smith ‘corrected’ a lot of the King James version of the Bible, though I’m not sure what the differences in these beliefs are.

Also, yes. It's called the "JST" version. The Lds don't have copyrights to it...because Joseph's first wife, Emma, retained that when Smith died. Emma never went West with the Brighamite Mormons. Hence, she and her sons helped jumpstart the RLDS church, which has the copyright.

Thank you for your help. I don’t know much about the LDS, but the more I look into it the, uh, odder it seems to me.

The LDS claim that, but MrR and I have discussed it and the JST is now in the public domain, the LDS could use it if they wanted to, in its entirety.
