Israel? And these two will be one stick? Ezekiel 37:15-20.
What do you think Israel thinks about this Mormon belief?

A made up and dangerous cult that should be avoided! They use their own Bible besides the Holy Bible and this is what makes it a cult! God said in the book of Revelation that we are not to add or take away from His word!

From what I understand the LDS church does believe in exactly what you quoted from the Bible. Judas Stick is the Bible because it was written from and about Jews. Christ and his followers were Jews until the Messiah (Christ) came. then it was their duty to preach the Messiahs coming. "Christianity" is a phrase coined well after Jesus and his disciples. So the Bible is actually Jewish teaching about a new way of thinking.
The Stick of Joseph refers to Joseph of Egypt, Judas younger brother; not Joseph Smith. The book of Mormon was written by descendants of Manasseh and Ephraim. Both were the sons of Joseph and were blessed by Joseph's father, Jacob.
Today both Books (sticks) are used together, refer to each other, and act as one. One is no bigger or better then the other.
I can't say what Israel thinks of this subject. But, I think we know what those that believe in the Stick of Judas think of this.

Mark - That is also said in Deuteronomy. So by your reasoning, nothing in the bible after Deuteronomy is valid either. When John wrote not to add to it in Revelations, he was referring to that book only, not the entire Bible. Are you even aware that when the book of Revelations was written is disputed, not fact, and could have in fact been written before several of the other books contained in the Bible? The books of the Bible are not all in chronological order nor were they compiled as a book by the Apostles. The New Testament's books were gradually collected into a single volume over a period of several centuries. I know Wikipedia is not the most reliable source out there, but this link can show you how much dispute there is about when each book was written:

As to the question:
Israel respects our right to believe as we do. In fact, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a long standing relationship of mutual respect and trust with the Jewish Nation. Why do you think they allow us to have our BYU Center in Jerusalem?

Considering that Jews don't accept the New Testament, I don't think your question has any relevance.
