You named the Mormons’ beliefs heresies — I”m merely trying to elicit from you upon what UNBIASED authority you do so. Can you furnish any such?
Wow. You can't get along with anyone, turbid grunter. I have no brief for Christianity orthodox or otherwise. But even a Jew like me knows that the creeds and canons articulate the ancient basis of normative Christianity (e.g. Nicene Creed, Apostle's Creed, Creed of St. Athanasius, the canon of scripture). And even a Jew like me knows that the Mormon confession departs from those creeds and canons, e.g. it adds to the canon of scripture, it offers an alternative Christology. I wouldn't say that Mormonism is heretical, however. IMHO it simply isn't Christian, at least not the Christianity conferred by the Apostles.

Go to Church or something, turbid grunter. Many of them have adult education classes or seniors outreaches that can teach you the basics of your faith. Or: read a book.
