There are many other differences between Mormonism and actual Christianity. We could discuss the allowance of polygamy; Joseph Smith himself had 33 wives, the youngest being 14 years old. We could discuss the problems they have with the deity of Jesus Christ, proxy baptism for the dead, or even the possibility of man to achieve God-status. Don't believe me; here are the words of Smith himself:
"God himself was once as we are now, and is an exalted man"I say, if you were to see him today, you would see him like a man in form"like ourselves in all the person, image, and very form as a man" He was once a man like us; yea, that God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on earth." History of the Church vol.6 p.305.
"In the beginning, the head of Gods called a council of the Gods; and they came together and concocted a plan to create the world and people it". In all congregations when I have preached on the subject of the Deity, it has been the plurality of Gods." History of the Church vol.6 p.308.374
"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" To inherit the same power, the same glory and the same exaltation, until you arrive at the station of God." History of the Church vol.6 p.306.
"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." History of the Church vol.6 p.408,409.
