"In Joseph Smith's account of the First Vision, he tells us '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.”'
So from the start he denies Jesus as Lord and Savior.
I am being kind to show you in your misbelief, Mormonism is not Christian.
I am pleased to suffer your persecution and mockery for my beloved Savior and Redeemer, Jesus the Christ.
Persecution is the legacy of all true disciples of Christ.
