Why would God wait so long if the scripture was lost to reveal it back to man (Joseph Smith). Why would he then give us things so contrary to what he have of his word?
A small list of changes is also worth noting:

"Nevertheless, the Lord was merciful unto Omer, and also to his sons, and to his daughters [. . . . ] who did not seek his destruction."
I’m not even sure if you accept the “good Mormons can become gods”, “levels of heaven” and other things, so I’ll just leave those alone for the moment. I also don’t know what your stances are on pre-existence and such non-sense, so I’ll leave them be at the moment.
The Mormon faith contradicts the Bible in so many ways it’s amazing. For a religion supposed to be based of and the Bible and uses it for guidance, this is completely disgusting.
