The basic premise of Mormonism is that the Church Christ founded somehow needed a restoration. Unfortunately, this cannot be true, unless Christ is a liar. The LDS claims that God chose Joseph Smith to reestablish the Church of Jesus Christ after it had disappeared some 1,700 years earlier following the death of the first apostles.
“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Mat 6:18
Here Christ says his Church will not be destroyed.
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” John 16:12-13
“But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.” 1Tim 3:15
Here Christ says, and Paul reaffirms, that the Church will always teach the TRUTH.
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Mat 28:18-20
Again, here Jesus assures us that He is always with us, to the very end.
So Christ says His Church will not be destroyed or fall away from him, that the Holy Spirit will guide the Church to always teach the Truth, and He will always be with us.
The only reason for a ‘restoration’ is that Christ lied.

FOF,
It is instructive that the foundation of the mormonite religion is a lie - that Christ’s Church would fail.
It has a second foundation stone that also allows the individual mormonite follower to swallow all subsequent lies...
telling potential converts to “pray” about whether the booklet of moroni is “true” or not.
By doing this, they hope to move the person from the basis of objective faith onto subjective ground. Once the convert accepts feelings as the basis of truth, he can move to the next [more bizarre] stages.
These include swallowing such mormonite teachings as:
God used to be a man
There is also a Mother God
You can become a god yourself
Spirit babies are just lined up in heaven, waiting to be born into an earth suit
The deeper you go in mormonism, the more bizarre it becomes, until you realize the horror of what it is.
Mormonism doesn’t have anything in common with Biblical Christianity at all, except the Name of Jesus Christ. Even then, they mean a pathetic, created spirit being, who later came to earth to get a body and later became a god.
