As you can see the Book of Mormon contradicts Joseph Smith on almost everything he taught after 1835
Joseph Smith: Many men say there is one God; the Father, the
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. “
(History of the Church * Volume 6 Page 476 * 1844
"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)
How could the Godhead go from ONE GOD in Joseph Smith's early pre-1835 teachings to 3 gods in the Godhead after 1835 ?
How could God go from God from Eternity in pre-1835 to Joseph Smith's teachings that God progressed to God post-1835
"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, so that you
may see. … It is the
first principle of the Gospel to know for a certainty
the character of God and
to know...that he was once a man like us.... Here,
then, is eternal life - to
know the only wise and true God; and 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... (“King Follett Discourse,” Journal of
Discourses 6:3-4, also in
Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 345-346, and
History of the Church, vol.
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.
2 Nephi 27:23
For behold, I am god;
and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same
yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it
be according to their faith.
2 Nephi 29:9
And I do this that I
may prove unto many that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and that
I speak forth my words according to mine own pleasure. And because that I have
spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another; for my work is
not yet finished; neither shall it be until the end of man, neither from that
time henceforth and forever.
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?
Mormon 9:19
And if there were
miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles and yet be an
unchanging Being? And behold, I say unto you he changeth not; if so he would
cease to be God; and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of miracles.”
Moroni
8:18 For I know that God is not a partial God, neither a changeable being; but
he is unchangeable
2 Nephi 19:9 And I do
this that I may prove unto many that I am the same yesterday, today, and
forever; and that I speak forth my words according to mine own pleasure. And
because that I have spoken one word ye need not suppose that I cannot speak
another; for my work is not yet finished; neither shall it be until the end of
man, neither from that time henceforth and forever.
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.
By these things we know that there is a God in heaven, who
is infinite and eternal, from everlasting to everlasting the same unchangeable
God, the framer of heaven and earth, and all things which are in them; D&C

The ROCK is revelation rather than Jesus
Helaman 5:12
12 And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the
rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your
foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his
shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat
upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of
misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a
sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.
Joseph Smith said
Joseph Smith said
“Jesus in His teachings says, ‘Upon this rock I will
build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.’ [Matthew
16:18.] What rock? Revelation.”
