Did God consider Joespe Smith accursed?
Gal 1:8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed
or does the Bible not matter?
In the Book of Mormon
Jacob 2: 24 Behold, David and Solomon truly had many wives and concubines, which thing was abominable before me, saith the Lord.
guess he was looked down upon in both books

You are missing the point. Joseph Smith WAS preaching the gospel. He seemed to be the only one in his day who did. Not "another gospel," but the restored gospel. The Bible predicted a "falling away" from the truth. If you read your stated passage of Galations 1:8, reading verse 6 prior, you will see that Paul is noting that people had already started falling away from the truth. Galatians 1:6 " I marvel that ye are so soon removed..."
In other words, Paul was seeing the start of a great apostasy that he, and other disciples predicted would occur. 2 Thessaolonians 2:3
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Joseph Smith was called by God to restore the truth again to the earth. Again, this restoration was predicted in the BIBLE.
Acts 3:21
Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

No, because it says in the book of Mormon or in the Doctrine &Covenants that God himself appeared in a pillar of light to Joseph Smith to present his son Jesus Christ to explain to Joseph to join no other church but create a new church... so it was no angel or some person to preach a new gospel but god himself.. so i don't think Joseph would be accursed if god told him to create a new gospel
And Yeah, the Mormons use the old and new testaments and use the same ten commandments as other churches. so its hardly a new gospel but rather a restored gospel with new things such as keep your body healthy it tells you how to eat, and what not to consume.. such as don't smoke, which we all know now that it causes cancer. but at the time know one knew it caused cancer.. So the gospel is not accursed.

Sounds like the same old stuff that we have heard a million times already. You go on and believe what you want but your claims have a lot of holes in them.

Whats the difference. Your debating a book that says the Earth is 6000 yeas old. Its ignorant and a burden on the advancement of the human race.
In the future I hope we put all the religious people on their own planet with cameras on every corner. On the other planet were going to have a TV show called "survivor" and we are going to watch all you idiots start wars, kill, and lynch each other trying to prove who's religion is real. Its going to be awesome.
Ignorance...
