In my studies I have encountered several arguements against the Mormon church which are just awful, and likely to embarass the accuser if he is caught at it. One example is the following...
There is an arguement that the concept of God in the Book of Mormon and in the Doctrine and Covenants is different. The Book of Mormon says God is a spirit and the doctrine and covenants says he has a body.
Alma 18:26-28 And then Ammon said: Believest thou that there is a Great Spirit?And he said, Yea. And Ammon said, This is God.
Doctrine and Covenants 130:22 The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man's; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of spirit...
At first glance it appears to be a contradiction, but it isn't because the scripture in Alma was believed to have happened about 90 years before Christ took upon himself flesh and came to earth, thus he should have been a spirit.
