What you may not know is that Mormons believe Jesus is Jehovah or God of the Old Testament. That God is a vengeful God who destroy’s cities and populations because they are sinners. The Jesus of the New Testament is Jehovah who is born of the flesh. I am curious how the Mormons explain this...
I guess Jesus of the New Testament made a whip of cords and drove the money changers out of “His Father’s house” is an evidence of the old Jehovah coming out.

I’m aware. I’m an ex-mormon in the process of converting to Christianity.
This is a major contradiction for me and I believe it to be one for many mormons as well since I’ve yet to have any respond to the inquiry.
A further question(s) could be asked; The BoM christ unleashed his fury on the BoM lands, but not the ME lands where there were plenty of opportunities to do so as well. Why not unleash that fury in the ME as well? Why did the ME (Biblical) folks get the “don’t be afraid”, “peace be upon you” Christ, while the BoM folks got smoked by the BoM christ?
To me the Book of Mormon shows a good example how some parts of the New Testament was edited of plain and precious truth.

Z seem to ignore the previous 3 Nephi chapter 7
(The chief judge is murdered, the government is overthrown, and the people divide into tribes—Jacob, an antichrist, becomes king of a league of tribes—)
There is a different between the Sons of Perdition (SOP) and those who are fallen men!
5 Now all this was done, and there were no wars as yet among them; and all this iniquity had come upon the people abecause they did byield themselves unto the power of Satan.
6 And the regulations of the government were destroyed, because of the asecret combination of the friends and kindreds of those who murdered the prophets.
7 And they did cause a great contention in the land, insomuch that the more righteous part of the people had nearly all become wicked; yea, there were but few righteous men among them.
8 And thus six years had not passed away since the more part of the people had turned from their righteousness, like the dog to his avomit, or like the sow to her wallowing in the mire.
9 Now this secret combi
nation, which had brought so great iniquity upon the people, did gather themselves together, and did place at their head a man whom they did call Jacob;
10 And they did call him their king; therefore he became a king over this wicked band; and he was one of the chiefest who had given his voice against the prophets who testified of Jesus.
11 And it came to pass that they were not so strong in number as the tribes of the people, who were united together save it were their leaders did establish their laws, every one according to his tribe; nevertheless they were enemies; notwithstanding they were not a righteous people, yet they were united in the hatred of those who had entered into a covenant to adestroy the government.
12 Therefore, Jacob seeing that their enemies were more numerous than they, he being the king of the band, therefore he commanded his people that they should take their flight into the northernmost part of the land, and there build up unto themselves a akingdom, until they were joined by dissenters, (for he flattered them that there would be many dissenters) and they become sufficiently strong to contend with the tribes of the people; and they did so.
13 And so speedy was their march that it could not be impeded until they had gone forth out of the reach of the people. And thus ended the thirtieth year; and thus were the affairs of the people of Nephi.
14 And it came to pass in the *thirty and first year that they were divided into tribes, every man according to his family, kindred and friends; nevertheless they had come to an agreement that they would not go to war one with another; but they were not united as to their laws, and their manner of government, for they were established according to the minds of those who were their chiefs and their leaders. But they did establish very strict laws that one tribe should not trespass against another, insomuch that in some degree they had peace in the land; nevertheless, their hearts were turned from the Lord their God, and they did stone the aprophets and did cast them out from among them.
