My thesis (for discussion) is that Joseph Smith left Trinitarianism and evolved his doctrine of God to accommodate his own plural marriages.

Arrange the LDS "Scripture" statements chronologically and there sure seems to be a decent circumstantial case at least.

Needs further study. All I know is that the LDS Church does not teach many of the doctrines taught in the BOM. And doctrines like Plural Marriage, the Temple Ceremonies, Plurality of Gods in the Universe, Baptism for the dead-- basically every unique Mormon Doctrine is NOT found in the Book of Mormon.

I think Joseph left trinitarianism after his first vision at age fourteen. I don't think he had any plural marriages at that time.
