There’s no way mormon beliefs can be said to line up with the Apostle’s Creed. Their teachings are fundamentally different from Christianity.

Yes, Mormonism's teachings are fundamentally different from Christianity.

But actually when it comes to the very specific Apostles Creed, there's really nothing there that's objectionable to Mormon doctrine.

The closest it comes is the mention of one holy catholic church (small "c"). The word "catholic" as applied to that time of the creed just = universal -- as in one universal church...not Roman Catholic with a big "C."

But, of course, the lack of Mormon provocation over details within the Apostles Creed in and of itself proves Joseph Smith to be a false prophet.

He claimed that the unnamed entities who appeared to him -- as outlined in Joseph Smith History, vv.18-20 in the Pearl of Great Price -- told him that ALL the creeds of the Christian sects were an "abomination" to them.

Mormon, tell us: What's so "abominable" about the Apostles Creed? What in its content is so objectionable?

I've looked @ Mormon doctrine in depth. There's absolutely Nothing objectionable or putrid or abominable about its content, as the entities who appeared to Smith proclaimed.

Go ahead. Read the Apostles Creed. Then ask yourself, what kind of a being of light would appear to man and claim that the Apostles Creed was an "abomination" to him? (And He didn't same some of the creeds were an abomination; he very specifically said "ALL.")

I think we know the origins of Mormonism. The Apostles Creed would only be objectionable as an "abomination" to demonic angels.

In Israel Beck recited a mormon creed, the Adamic temple prayer (ie. translated version of pay lay ale) saying “Listen to the words of my mouth.”
