You don't know what each Mormon believes. And Mormons have often misrepresented their church's teachings, whether by accident or purposefully.
I asked one of your missionaries what 1 Nephi 14:10 means after explaining what it was saying to me. He agreed with me; his companion did not disagree. Go ahead and disagree. Your disagreement means nothing.
1 Nephi 13: 6-8 describes the physical attributes of "this great and abominable church (founded by the devil)"that had the Bible before Joseph Smith was even born.
What you are told to believe now is not what your scripture says and not what Joseph Smith believed and taught.
I [Joseph] answered the questions which were frequently asked me, while on my last journey but one from Kirtland to Missouri, as printed in the Elders' Journal, Vol. 1, Number 2, pages 28 and 29, as follows:
First--"Do you believe the Bible?"
If we do, we are the only people under heaven that does, for there are none of the religious sects of the day that do.
Second--"Wherein do you differ from other sects?"
In that we believe the Bible, and all other sects profess to believe their interpretations of the Bible, and their creeds.
Third--"Will everybody be damned, but Mormons?"
Yes, and a great portion of them, unless they repent, and work righteousness.

I was taught to memorize D&C 93:24 when I was a member of your church:
D&C 93
24 And truth is knowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come;
Verse 25 says:
25 And whatsoever is more or less than this is the spirit of that wicked one who was a liar from the beginning.
Can truth change according to D&C 93:24?
"
Both Catholics and Protestants are nothing less than the 'harlot of Babylon' whom the Lord denounces... as having corrupted all the earth by their fornications and wickedness. And any person who shall be so wicked as to receive a holy ordinance of the gospel from the ministers of any of these apostate churches will be sent down to hell with them, unless they repent of the unholy and impious act.
If any penitent believer desires to obtain forgiveness of sins through baptism, let him beware of having any thing to do with the churches of apostate Christendom, lest he perish in the awful plagues and judgments, denounced against them. The only persons among all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people who have authority from Jesus Christ to administer any gospel ordinance are those called and authorized among the Latter-day Saints. Before the restoration of the church of Christ to the earth in the year 1830, there have been no people on the earth for many generations possessing authority from God to minister gospel ordinances. We again repeat. Beware of the hypocritical false teachers and imposters of Babylon!"
- The Seer, Vol.2, No.4, p.255
"The present Christian world exists and continues by division. The MYSTERY of
Babylon the great, is mother of harlots and abominations of the earth, and it needs no prophetic vision, to unravel such mysteries.
The old church is the mother, and the protestants are the lewd daughters. Alas! alas! what doctrine, what principle, or what scheme, in all. What prayers, what devotion, or what faith, `since the fathers have fallen asleep,' has opened the heavens; has brought men into the presence of God; and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to an innumerable company of angels? The answer is, not any:
`There is none in all christendom that doeth good; no, not one.'
- Apostle John Taylor, Times and Seasons, Vol.6, No.1, p.811
