"But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!"

-Galatians 1:8-9

Mormanism and Islam share this trait.

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons/LDS)

Belief :

Teach multiple gods (not the eternal, uncreated divine trinity)

God was once a man

Mankind's eternal progression to godhood (men can become gods)

Baptism for the dead (attaining salvation for unrepentant dead ancestors)

Claim that the original Scriptures of the Bible have been corrupted. Joseph Smith produced his own revision (the Joseph Smith Translation or JST), which changes or adds thousands of verses. Significant portions of the JST are canonized in the Pearl of Great Price (e.g., Moses, Joseph Smith—Matthew) and appear as footnotes or appendices in the official LDS KJV edition.

Additional scriptures (Book of Mormon, etc.) that contradict the biblical canon.

Continuing revelation of their prophet has equal weight to the Bible.


Criticism:

(Nature of God, other gods, becoming gods)

Isaiah 43:10 — “Before Me there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me.”

Isaiah 44:6, 8 — “I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides Me… Is there any God besides Me, or is there any other Rock? I know of none.”

Isaiah 46:9 — “I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me.”

Psalm 90:2 — “Before the mountains were born or You gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.”

Malachi 3:6 — “For I, the LORD, do not change…”

(additional scriptures, continuing revelation)

Galatians 1:8–9 — “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!”

Revelation 22:18–19 — "I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book."

Deuteronomy 4:2 — "You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you."

Proverbs 30:5-6 — "Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. Do not add to His words or He will reprove you, and you will be proved a liar."

(baptism for the dead) It is too late to repent after you die...

Hebrews 9:27 — “It is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment.”

Luke 16:25-26 — "But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.’ "
