“So, our interpretation (and we believe it is through inspiration and revelation) is consistant with the Bible. We believe that the “Three in One” adopted in those councils is the interpretation that is not consistant and is one of many reasons the Church had to be restored.”

Please share the “councils, you are referring to, there’s
a history of Catholic Councils.
Jeff, Jesus said I will not leave My Church in Matt 16:18, Satan will not overcome My Church. The Joseph Smith talk of a “restored” Church makes Our Lord a liar. Our Lord is God, He sees all of time, all of history, the present and the future.
You can’t say the “councils” were wrong and the Mormon interpretation of the Bible is correct because the same
authority, the Church canonized Scripture. You wouldn’t have your Bible to look to without that authority.
How the Canon of the Bible (the official catalogue of inspired books) was officially declared.
All books that were considered for the Cannon, but not included were called Apocrypha, and thus declared not inspired.
362 A.D. Catholic Church’s Council of Rome defines the Canon of Holy Scripture.
382 POPE DAMASUS issues a listing of the present OT and NT Canon of 73 books
383 Saint Jerome translates the Latin Vulgate from Greek & Hebrew
393 Council of Hippo (North Africa) approves the present Canon of 73 books
397 Council of Constantinople produces first bound Bible (the Vulgate: previously, all
were separate books)
397 Council of Carthage (North Africa) approves the same OT and NT canon
405 Pope Saint Innocent I approves the Canon again and closes it (with 73 books)
One CANNOT fight emotionalism with logic.
For MORMONs; a 'burning busom' trumps EVERYTHING.
"I got an answer!" is the answer for everything.
And then the doubts start coming.
