There is only one restored Church of Jesus Christ and His anointed servant Joseph Smith and at the time Joseph was martyred everyone tried to pick up the mantle but it did not belong to them, it be long to the anointed servant of the Lord’s Jesus Christ, Brigham Young.

Where are those Churches today?

None of the were able build Zion all over the face of the earth!

Gosh! So many off-shoots of the ‘restoration’ religion. Who knew?... Oh, that’s right, the LDS apologists knew but want to focus upon the many Christian sects, as if the schismatics of Christianity are somehow an excuse for the contradictions in mormonism.
