Do people know why this is a FALSE gospel?
Christ came into the world to do the Father's will.
The Father sent Christ to be crucified.
Because of Christ's atonement, all men will be judged by him according to their works (as opposed to not receiving a judgment at all and being cast out of God's presence by default, Nephi 9:8-9).
Those who repent and are baptized shall be filled (with the Holy Ghost, Nephi 12:6), and
if they continue in faith by enduring to the end they will be justified (declared "not guilty") by Christ before the Father, but
if they don't endure they will be subject to the justice of God and cast out of his presence.
The Father's words will all be fulfilled (cf. D&C 1:38).
Because no unclean thing can enter the Father's heavenly kingdom, only those who rely in faith on the atonement of Christ, repent, and are faithful to the end can be saved.
This is "the gospel."

i didn't twist anything about this, or piece anything together, i'm just asking if people can see the error.

see: The Book of Mormon and the Fulness of the Gospel by Michael B Parker, he's defending Mormonism

Do Mormons here not know their own gospel?

Very deceptive ...
You cleverly left out that you don't believe Jesus was God the Creator as written in Scripture (john 1).

He is The 'I Am'.

You are taking parts of scripture and twisting them to your belief. Obviously, you have not read the Book of Mormon all the way through and acted upon Moroni's admonition of praying to God for the truth (page 529).

Believe as you will; I will not try to dissuade you one way or the other. The Book of Mormon has the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, whether you choose to believe or not.

Now go take on the day.

Piecing together different verses to prove a point from the Mormon Gospel is no different than piecing them together from the Bible itself. It doesn't prove anything, rather it shows that the one who is trying to prove their point is merely unable to deal with what is written and has an agenda of their own. If you don't believe that the Gospel is true, don't believe it, but don't try to make it false merely to make yourself look better.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I love being a Mormon. I believe that it has brought me closer to God and Jesus Christ than any other path could have.

Salvation is a free gift. Salvation is everlasting life. Jesus paid the price for our sins. He said to drink of this cup, It is His Blood that is shed for the remission of sins.

Because of Christ's atonement for our sins, our sins are washed away. Those that go to heaven are those redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. With confessing Jesus Christ LORD of ones life & believing in the resurrection, one will be saved (everlasting life).

Jesus is the High Priest forever. He shed His own blood as our atoning sacrifice. When a person believes in their heart, God knows the heart. The old stony heart is gone. A new loving soft heart replaces it. A person is born spiritually. This is when salvation / everlasting life is received, when one is born of God.

When a person is born of God, person has inherited God's Kingdom by adoption.

God gives people the Holy Spirit when they believe in Him. The Holy Spirit is with the born again Christian & will be in the born again Christian. Water baptism symbolized the new birth. The old man is dead. The new man alive in Christ forever more.

Everlasting life is the free gift of God. Those redeemed by the Lamb are part of the first resurrection. They go to heaven. They are declared not guilty when Jesus washes away their sin when they believed on Him.

Sin will not enter heaven. What ever Christian builds on ones house will be tested by fire. Perishable (lies) will get fried. Everlasting (faith, hope & love) will get rewards.

Those who did not receive God's Salvation gift do not go to heaven. They either go where the dead go with the dead, where the dead go in the sea, or where the dead go in hell. These take part in the second resurrection. Where everyone is judged according to their works.

The book of Mormon is false in that it prevents people from receiving salvation (everlasting life). It says that if they continue in faith enduring to the end they will be justified (be not guilty) This is being saved by being good enouph. No one can be good enouph to deserve salvation.

Also, Joseph Smith is tried and found guilty of being a false prophet. So why add to God's Word?

I am not a Mormon or a Christian, but I don't think there is any point to you attacking the Mormon religion in such a manner.

Wow another Mormon basher. You are a dime a dozen.
Your question isn't even clear.

The Mormons believe what they feel is right. It is not your business to say it is wrong. You don't know if your beliefs are correct and you have no idea if someone else's beliefs are wrong. It is fine to have your own opinion, but don't bash others for theirs.

To a Christian who has read and studied the Bible and the Historical facts it doesnt take long to pick up on the errant theology that puts Mormonism squarely in the category of the cults—doctrinal beliefs such as Jesus, the created being who is the spirit-brother of Lucifer, and a works-righteousness formula for salvation. Like so many conversations with cultists, regardless of their spiritual and ideological bent, the Mormon sometimes trys to disguise his aberrant theology with a superficial and disingenuous agreement about salvation by grace through faith. In the end, the conversation deteriorates to the point that a Mormon is upset because we dared to ask direct questions about his religious beliefs—specifically, his beliefs about the person and deity of Jesus Christ.

Seeing that the conversation starts to disintegrate (It always fascinates me when spiritual darkness cringes when exposed to the light of Christ, much the same way as the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz melted when she was doused with water.), before letting the Mormon go I ask him to ponder the following thought. “I want you to consider this. If you’re right, the consequence for me is that I will spend eternity in what you would call the ‘celestial kingdom.’ If I’m right, you’re going to spend eternity in hell. Thanks for talking to me.”

The point I am making is that the Mormon idea of Jesus and the Jesus of the Christian faith (the true Jesus) are not one in the same. The former leads only to death and eternity in hell. The latter is the only way to forgiveness of sin, reconciliation with God, justification by God, and salvation. If the Mormon’s idea of who Jesus turns out to be right (and according to the truth of God’s Word, the Mormon can’t be right), the Christian is no worse off than he or she is in the present world. If the born again Christian’s understanding of the person and deity of Jesus Christ is correct (and it is), the Mormon will one-day face God’s wrath, righteous judgment, and eternity in hell.

People can leave the Church, but they can't leave the Church alone.
