Chapter 1
19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they
were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds
were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that:
“they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they
teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but
they deny the power thereof.”
Joseph Smith: Many men say there is one God; the Father, the son and the Holy Ghost are only one God! I say this is a strange God anyhow—three in one, and one in three! It is a curious organization. . . . All are to be crammed into one God, according to sectarianism. It would make the biggest God in all the world. He would be a wonderfully big God—he would be a giant or a monster.“

2 Nephi 31:
21 And now, behold, my beloved brethren, this is the way;
and there is none other way nor name given under heaven whereby man can be
saved in the kingdom of God. And now, behold, this is the doctrine of Christ,
and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen.
Alma 11:
44 Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and
young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the
righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost;
but everything shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the
body, and shall be brought and be arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son,
and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged
according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil.
Mormon 7:
7 And he hath brought to pass the redemption of the world,
whereby he that is found guiltless before him at the judgment day hath it given
unto him to dwell in the presence of God in his kingdom, to sing ceaseless
praises with the choirs above, unto the Father, and unto the Son, and unto the
Holy Ghost, which are one God, in a state of happiness which hath no end.
The Testimony of Three Witnesses
And the honor be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the
Holy Ghost, which is one God. Amen.

An abridgment taken from the Book of Ether also, which is a
record of the people of Jared, who were scattered at the time the Lord confounded
the language of the people, when they were building a tower to get to
heaven—Which is to show unto the remnant of the house of Israel what great
things the Lord hath done for their fathers; and that they may know the
covenants of the Lord, that they are not cast off forever—And also to the
convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God,
manifesting himself unto all nations—And now, if there are faults they are the
mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God, that ye may be found
spotless at the judgment-seat of Christ.
2 Nephi 26:12 And as I spake concerning the convincing of
the Jews, that Jesus is the very Christ, it must needs be that the Gentiles be
convinced also that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God;
Moroni 7:22 For behold, God knowing all things, being
from everlasting to everlasting, behold,
he sent angels to minister unto the children of men, to make manifest
concerning the coming of Christ; and in Christ there should come every good
thing.
Mosiah 3:5 For behold, the time cometh, and is not far
distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is
from all eternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the
children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth
amongst men, working mighty miracles, such as healing the sick, raising the
dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf
to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.
Mosiah 3:17
17 And moreover, I say unto you, that there shall be no
other name given nor any other way nor means whereby salvation can come unto
the children of men, only in and through the name of Christ, the Lord
Omnipotent.
Mosiah 5:15 Therefore, I would that ye should be steadfast
and immovable, always abounding in good works, that Christ, the Lord God
Omnipotent, may seal you his, that you may be brought to heaven, that ye may
have everlasting salvation and eternal life, through the wisdom, and power, and
justice, and mercy of him who created
all things, in heaven and in earth, who is God above all. Amen.
Moroni 8:18 For I know that God is not a partial God,
neither a changeable being; but he is unchangeable from all eternity to all
eternity.
Mormon 9:9 For do we
not read that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in him there
is no variableness neither shadow of changing?
LDS Prophet Joseph Smith taught that God was once a mortal
man:
"God himself was
once as we are now, and is an exalted man, and sits enthroned in yonder
heavens! That is the great secret. ...I am going to tell you how God came to be
God. We have imagined and supposed that God was God from all eternity. I will
refute that idea, and take away the veil,...
It is the first principle of the gospel to know for a
certainty the character of God, ...and that He was once a man like us; yea,
that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ
Himself did; ...you have got to learn how to be gods yourselves, and to be
kings and priests to God, the same as all gods have done before you, namely, by
going from one small degree to another,... from exaltation to exaltation, until
you attain to the resurrection of the dead, and are able to dwell in
everlasting burnings. and to sit in glory, as do those who sit enthroned in
everlasting power" (History of the Church, Vol. 6, Ch. 14, p. 305-6).
"I have always declared God to be a distinct personage,
Jesus Christ a separate and distinct personage from God the Father, and the
Holy Ghost was a distinct personage and a Spirit: and these three constitute
three distinct personages and three Gods," (Teachings of Prophet Joseph
Smith, p. 370).
Many men say there is one God; the Father, the Son and the
Holy Ghost are only one God. I say that is a strange God anyhow—three in one,
and one in three! It is a curious organization. "Father, I pray not for
the world, but I pray for them which thou hast given me." "Holy
Father, keep through Thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they
may be one as we are." All are to be crammed into one God, according to
sectarianism. It would make the biggest God in all the world. He would be a
wonderfully big God—he would be a giant or a monster. I want to read the text
to you myself—"I am agreed with the Father and the Father is agreed with
me, and we are agreed as one." The Greek shows that it should be agreed.
"Father, I pray for them which Thou hast given me out of the world, and
not for those alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their
word, that they all may be agreed, as Thou, Father, are with me, and I with
Thee, that they also may be agreed with us," and all come to dwell in
unity, and in all the glory and everlasting burnings of the Gods; and then we
shall see as we are seen, and be as our God and He as His Father. I want to
reason a little on this subject. I learned it by translating the papyrus which
is now in my house.

8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
Genesis 3
1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Notice how Mormonism fell for the serpents first two lies, question God’s Word and you can be a god.

6. I Nephi 20:1 originally read exactly like Is. 48:1 in the King James Bible. Now it reads, "...out of the waters of Judah or out of the waters of baptism." Apostle Mark E. Petersen said, "A direct reference to baptism was plainly deleted from Isaiah 48:1" (As Translated Correctly, p. 14). Petersen was attempting to show how the B. of M. helped correct errors in the Bible, but he picked a very poor example because it is the B. of M. that has been changed! Neither the Hebrew text of Is. 48:1 nor the original B. of M. support the present reading of I Nephi 20:1. Even as late as the 1888 edition of the B. of M., that phrase was not in the text. Also interesting is the Joseph Smith Translations reads the same as original BOM and King James version
Notice how the Article’s of Faith teaches to question God’s word by insinuating the Bible might be translated incorrectly , yet it’s the Book of Mormon which has been changed . Can any Mormon show the changes in the Bible like the link above show the actual changes in the Book of Mormon ?
