17 Little Known Facts About the LDS https://concernedchristians.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/printable-17-Little-Known-Facts-About-the-Mormons.pdf
If all the FACTS are examined, Mormonism cannot be considered a Christian denomination or a divinely led institution. Although Mormons are being deceived by their leaders, why not be concerned enough to share the truth in love? Jesus Himself said: “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
The Rise of False Prophets
"But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them.... And many will follow their licentiousness, and because of them the way of truth will be reviled. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words...." (2 Peter 1:20-21; 2:1-3) https://www.blueletterbible.org/lsb/2pe/2/1/ss0/rl0/s_1158001
Distorting the Gospel
"I marvel that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ for a different gospel, which is really not another, only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to the gospel we have proclaimed to you, let him be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is proclaiming to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be accursed! For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a slave of Christ." https://www.blueletterbible.org/lsb/gal/1/1/p1/s_1092001
The Joseph Smith heresy quote is here:
"Come on! ye prosecutors! ye false swearers! All hell, boil over! Ye burning mountains, roll down your lava! for I will come out on the top at last. I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet." (History of the Church, vol. 6, p. 408-409) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X034VNo8yw
I have gathered much information on the differences between Christianity and Mormonism. Many of Mormonism's unbiblical doctrines are kept out of the view of the public, and sometimes even of LDS members themselves. This particular link will summarize some of these differences https://www.4mormon.org/facts-mormon-church-doesnt-want-you-to-know/
Archaeological science versus claims of The Book of Mormon https://christiananswers.net/q-cc/cc-archaeology.html
If you have any doubt about the historic evidence of the Bible, I suggest that you look at the authenticity of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Biblical Archaeology at https://raindrop.io/glycop/archaeology-18528213

"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me." https://www.blueletterbible.org/lsb/jhn/14/6/s_1011006
Comment
To explain what The Creator of all things seen and unseen has done is simple. He allowed Himself to become human as an image of Himself and paid the price for our sins. All we need to do is believe, repent and follow Him. He commanded us to love one another as He has loved us. In those words are nearly the entire message of the gospel. One can learn these things by reading the the first book of the Bible and the words of The Christ.
Few of us realize that Jesus gave us more than a thousand commandments. Even fewer realize that only He has fulfilled them, so that our sins may be forgiven by His sacrifice on the cross, as evidenced when He uttered the words, "It is finished." The proof of His resurrection is easily witnessed at https://shroud.com/examine.htm
So, we are adopted by Him if we believe, repent and follow Him. One of the greatest honors in life is to be chosen and adopted by someone to become part of their family. Our Creator took on flesh, was crucified, died and was buried before the resurrection so that we could become His. I do not know how to simplify my faith any further.
