ANSWER
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that Jesus Christ is the head of the LDS church. They believe that within less than a hundred years after Christ's crucifixion and the murder or death of His original 12 Apostles, that the original teachings of Christ and His Apostles were changed and many of the original teachings were replaced by the more popular Greek philosophies of Plato and Aristotle. This process is often referred to as the Hellenization of Christianity, and it is well recorded in the writings of the 2nd and 3rd century Christian writers. The early Protestants referred to this as the apostasy, and their beliefs in the apostasy were one of their justifications for breaking away from the Catholic Church.
The LDS church is not a break off religion from the Catholic or Protestant churches. LDS members believe that it is the restored Church of Jesus Christ and that the doctrines of the LDS Church include restored gospel teachings. Jesus Christ and God the Father appeared to a young boy names Joseph Smith who was praying to know which church he should join. He was told that he should join none of the existing churches and that he would become the first modern day prophet who would restore Christ's church to the earth in preparation for the Second Coming of Christ.
ANSWER
Joseph Smith.(wrong)
Joseph Smith only renewed the gospel, our Heavenly Father made the church!
and the heavenly fathers name is.... Jehovah Psalms 83:18, Exodus 6:3, Exodus 17:15, Isaiah 12:2, Isaiah 26:4, Genesis 22:14, Judges 6:24
Joseph Smith restored the true church thru the power of God. So, technically, God and Jesus Christ are the true founders.
