SHORT ANSWER

Because this church has corrupted, transfigured, misused, and manipulated the Book of Mormon—Another Testament of Jesus Christ (“BOM”). This scripture—inspired by the True God—was created in the early 19th century to give the developing United States of America a chance at establishing a great Christian nation to which the whole world would look to as an ensign and standard of Christianity.

This corrupt church misinterpreted the BOM prophecy about the United States being this “ensign” and “standard,” and instead made this church what the prophecy was about. Their understanding is VERY misleading and incorrect. (Read on below.) Mormon Doctrine, page 228 says:

“Many ancient prophecies foretold that in the last days the Lord would set up an ensign to the nations, a standard to which Israel and the righteous of all nations might gather. (Isa. 5:26; 11:10-12; 18:3; 30:17-26; 31:9; 49:22; 62:10; Zech. 9:16.) This ensign is the new and everlasting covenant, the gospel of salvation (D. & C. 49:9); it is the great latter-day Zion (D. & C. 64:41-43); it is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” (Mormon Doctrine, p. 228)

LONG ANSWER

Known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the LDS/Mormon Church is the wealthiest religious organization in the world.

Mormonism (which includes all religious sects that claim the Book of Mormon and the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon as divine scripture [the word of God]) was the first new American religion established after the United States won its independence from Great Britain. In the second book of our Three Book Trilogy, A New American Scripture—How and Why the Real Illuminati® Created the Book of Mormon, we give details and evidence of how and why the Book of Mormon was created. This book will provide all the appropriate information needed to answer this question.

In brief:

With this new religious freedom, we provided the people of early America with the means and the opportunity to use this freedom to establish the correct form of religion necessary to help bring peace and unity to humanity. Our Book of Mormon was written only for this purpose. Instead of establishing a religion that would accomplish these intended desires (as well as fulfill the prophecies we embedded in our book for the same end), the LDS/Mormon Church was the result.

The LDS/Mormon Church uses our book to deceive Christians into becoming members. The book was written as an unprecedented powerful spiritual motivator. The LDS/Mormon Church hijacked the book, uses its spiritual power to get people to join, then establishes for its doctrine, practices and covenants that have no part of our Book of Mormon.

In our view, the LDS/Mormon Church is the most corrupt (spiritual term: evil) religion on Earth because it has been given much more opportunity and means than any other of Earth’s religions.

There is much proof of the way the leaders of this church deceive their members and the rest of the world by misusing, transfiguring, and deceptively using our new American scripture, the Book of Mormon.

The following is direct evidence of how the LDS/Mormon leadership deceives and misleads its members. It is a clip of a worldwide General Conference address given by one of this church’s Twelve Apostles “of Jesus Christ” (Elder Gary E. Stevenson).

This leader transfigures and deceptively misinterprets the meaning of our new American Scripture, the Book of Mormon. He is speaking to this church’s worldwide membership.

His great deception is undeniable and profound:

Here is the actual Book of Mormon scripture reference, in context.

Mormon, chapter 8 (Stevenson’s words in bold italic):

33 O ye wicked and perverse and stiffnecked people, why have ye built up churches unto yourselves to get gain? Why have ye transfigured the holy word of God, that ye might bring damnation upon your souls? Behold, look ye unto the revelations of God; for behold, the time cometh at that day when all these things must be fulfilled.

34 Behold, the Lord hath shown unto me great and marvelous things concerning that which must shortly come, at that day when these things shall come forth among you.

35 Behold, I speak unto you as if ye were present, and yet ye are not. But behold, Jesus Christ hath shown you unto me, and I know your doing.

36 And I know that ye do walk in the pride of your hearts; and there are none save a few only who do not lift themselves up in the pride of their hearts, unto the wearing of very fine apparel, unto envying, and strifes, and malice, and persecutions, and all manner of iniquities; and your churches, yea, even every one, have become polluted because of the pride of your hearts.

37 For behold, ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted.

38 O ye pollutions, ye hypocrites, ye teachers, who sell yourselves for that which will canker, why have ye polluted the holy church of God? Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ? Why do ye not think that greater is the value of an endless happiness than that misery which never dies—because of the praise of the world?

39 Why do ye adorn yourselves with that which hath no life, and yet suffer the hungry, and the needy, and the naked, and the sick and the afflicted to pass by you, and notice them not?

40 Yea, why do ye build up your secret abominations to get gain, and cause that widows should mourn before the Lord, and also orphans to mourn before the Lord, and also the blood of their fathers and their husbands to cry unto the Lord from the ground, for vengeance upon your heads?

41 Behold, the sword of vengeance hangeth over you; and the time soon cometh that he avengeth the blood of the saints upon you, for he will not suffer their cries any longer.

(More relevant details and important information about the great deception of this church is given in our Three Book Trilogy.)

With its combination of religious, political, and business power (combined in secret, away from public knowledge), the LDS/Mormon Church has the ability and the means to do good for humanity more than any other single, non-profit organization or religion. It chooses not to act, except in perpetuation and support of its corrupt religious ideologies.

In March of 2022, we sent a letter to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ leadership offering to meet with this church and discuss the above issues. (An official copy of the letter can be viewed at this link. USPS mail delivery and signature receipt can be viewed at this link.)

These leaders refused to meet with our representative, which would have led to meeting privately with all members of our group.

We made this effort in order to fulfill a prophetic warning we issued in our 1830 Book of Mormon:

“Therefore, great and marvelous works shall be wrought by [the Real Illuminati®], before the great and coming day when all people must surely stand before the judgment-seat of Christ;

“Yea even among the Gentiles shall there be a great and marvelous work wrought by them, before that judgment day.

“And if ye had all the scriptures which give an account of all the marvelous works of Christ, ye would, according to the words of Christ, know that these things must surely come.

“And wo be unto him that will not hearken unto the words of Jesus, and also to them whom he hath chosen and sent among them; for whoso receiveth not the words of Jesus and the words of those whom he hath sent receiveth not him; and therefore he will not receive them at the last day;

“And it would be better for them if they had not been born. For do ye suppose that ye can get rid of the justice of an offended God, who hath been trampled under feet of men, that thereby salvation might come?”

(Book of Mormon, 3 Nephi 28:31–35. We introduced ourselves in this part of our new American scripture’s narrative.)

Truly, it would be better for the LDS Church, its leaders, and those who support this deceptive religion “if they had not been born.”
