According to church history, What did the Lord tell Joseph Smith about the existing churches? Was it any different than what Paul said about preaching another gospel?

The only way to answer this question here is the church that most closely follows the bible.

Joseph Smith was a false prophet. All you have to do is read Revelation 2 & 3 to see that there have always been problems in the church because the church is made up of fallible human beings. In fact, you can read the books of Corinthians or Galatians to see that there were problems in the church from the beginning.
The LDS idea that God was once a man, that Jesus and Satan are "spirit brothers" and that Mormons can one day be like God, ruling their own planets and populating them with "spirit children" comes right out of the Devil's handbook where in the Garden of Eden he asked Eve "Did God really say?" and then went on to tell her that if she did what he said she could "become like God".
That's a different gospel and whether Joseph Smith was just a fanciful and or deluded liar or if an angel that gave itself the name of "Moroni" really communicated with him, the story of Joseph Smith and the LDS teaching demonstrates the truth of the following passage.
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

None of the Churches are right,as they all preach about religion,and then take out weapons to kill each other.
The Arab--- Israeli War.What was the cause and how long is it going to last.
The Kosovo conflict,who was to blame and why did so many have to Die,and what was the reason it started in the first place.The Christian way of life has a lot to answer for.
As most of these conflicts are to do with the churches and
its people.
CHRISTIANS clean up you act,before SATAN takes over.

The only true church is the one that our Lord Jesus made with Peter, he said to him upon this rock I will build my church, and you Peter are that rock, this is how the Roman Catholic Church began. This is the only true church in all the world.

Christ let you know, in Revelation, “which church is right”. Of the seven churches listed there, Christ approved of only two, Smyrna and Philadelphia. You can discover why He only approved of those two by reading Revelation 1, starting with verse:11.
The following two verses identify what those two churches had in common:
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich ) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Revelation 2:9
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Revelation 3:9
To fully understand the above verses, you must first know that satin planted his wicked seed in the Garden and that Cain’s father was satin, not Adam.

Any Church that teaches repentence, baptism by imersion in the name of Jesus Christ, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. This is the Gospel that the Apostles died for.

The True Founder of Christianity
Did Jesus or his Apostles follow a religion called Christianity? Who were the first 'Christians' ? Who founded Christianity and do the teachings of Christianity conform to the teachings of Jesus?
The teachings of Paul, the true founder of Christianity, cannot be found anywhere in the teachings of Jesus or in those of prophets before him.

None of those Churches are right. Look into the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. You will not be disappointed.

Jesus told Peter. I will give you the keys to heaven, Peter was the first Pope. God loves all churches, because each in their own way people go to church to worship God.
