“There are a multitude of reasons, mostly because you accept a non-biblical prophet.”
Think about that the Jews must have said the same things when the New Testament was written.

“Your quoting the Book of Mormon is another reason. God gave us the Bible.”
Drif, the Lord can give his children as much as He wants to only man is putting limits on what the Lord should give.
many Tradition of Men keep talking about the Bible which is the word of God and in the scriptures man is counsel to
Seek and ye shall find, knock and ye shall receive,
Try all of the spirits if they are of God, it did not say trust no spirit.
John 14
15 ¶If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
Over and over Jesus makes a distinction between Jesus and His Father two beings one mind!
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
LISTEN as Jesus highlights the mission of the Holy Ghost is to teach all thins and bring all things to your remembrance yet many deny the the power there of.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
AGAIN Jesus says His Father is greater then Jesus is!
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
Tradition of Men aka mainstream dilutes the message.
Thank you anyway it is not my intent to annoy you but these are few reasons why I left the mainstream I was hungry and now I am fullfiled with the word of God by the power and witness of the Spirit of the Lord.
Fantasy is not scripture. Joseph Smith was a peepstone sexual predator of married women. He lied to his ‘flock’, fabricated fictional scriptures from Egyptian papri, and ‘rewrote’ the King James Bible into King James English, adding thousands of words and passages, not the least significant is the eight hundred plus words he added at the end of Genesis to fabricate a prophecy of his coming forth ‘in these latter days’. MormonISM is mormonism, it is not in any way Christianity, restored or otherwise.
“Think about that the Jews must have said the same things when the New Testament was written.”
Think about Jesus who paid the price for our sins, died, rose, and is now Living and at the right hand of God.
Jesus, the Son of God, who fulfilled prophecies written in the Old Testament. Thousands of Jews saw this and accepted Jesus as their Savior. Jesus, who faced down Satan and paid our price for the sins we have and will commit. Jesus who performed miracles, taught, healed, and died for us.
Walking into the woods and writing your own manual is not comparable. Filling people with false teachings is contrary to God and will separate you from eternal salvation. That is from the Word, and not from Man.
