Our teachings do not go against what the Bible says, it just goes counter to how you read and interpret the Bible.
As your mortal father is your father, and will always be your father, even tho you grow up and become a father yourself, so will G_d be our G_d, and will always be our G_d.
We will be the first to state that our teachings are different from mainstream Christianity, but we will also tell you they are restored truths.

As far as I can tell it's uniquely Mormon.
