| | Are Mormonism, Mormon Church, and Mormon Beliefs Christian? |
| | Mormons will note that they include the Bible among the four books which they recognize as Scripture, and that belief in Jesus Christ is central to their faith, as evidenced by their official name, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. | | | On the other hand, some new religions such as Mormonism claim to be Christian, but accept as Scripture writings outside of the Bible, teach doctrines that contradict the Bible, and hold to beliefs completely foreign to the teachings of Jesus and His apostles. | | | By contrast, the Mormon Church teaches that there was a great and total apostasy of the Church as established by Jesus Christ; this state of apostasy "still prevails except among those who have come to a knowledge of the restored gospel" of the Mormon Church (Gospel Principles, pp. |

| | Articles - Apostle (Mormonism) |
| | In Mormonism, an Apostle is a person ordained to be a traveling councilor bearing witness of Jesus Christ. | | | In Mormon theology, modern-day apostles have the same status and authority as the Biblical apostles. | | | In many Latter Day Saint denominations, an Apostle is also a priesthood office of high authority within the church hierarchy, as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve, although not all apostles have been part of the Quorum. |

| | John Taylor, Mormon Apostle and later President, admitted also this to be the case: "If that mouthpiece [Brigham Young] has not the power to dictate I would throw all Mormonism away." (7) The Mormon Church must base the truth of her claims on the authenticity of Brigham's calling. | | | APOSTLE PRATT OPPOSES YOUNG'S ADAM-GOD Though Richards and most of the other Church authorities accepted their prophet's declaration as the word of God, there was one member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles who openly opposed Brigham in his views. | | | The apostles answered Pratt by reassuring Brigham's divine calling; he was God's mouthpiece. |

| | The Changing World of Mormonism, Chapter 9 (Part 3), Plural Marriage: Lying About Polygamy, by Jerald and Sandra ... |
| | The doctrine of polygamy with the "Mormons," is not one of that kind that in the religious world is classed with "nonessentials." It is not an item of doctrine that can be yielded, and faith in the system remain. | | | Although the Mormon leaders will not give up the idea that this revelation is from God, they have already repudiated many of the teachings of the earlier leaders with regard to polygamy. | | | "Mormonism" is that kind of religion the entire divinity of which is invalidated, and its truth utterly rejected, the moment that any one of its leading principles is acknowledged to be false. |

| | Mormon Claims Answered Chapter Nine |
| | For most Mormons, their first visit to the temple takes place when they go on a mission or when they get married for eternity or have their marriage "solemnized." But, in order to enter the temple, they must have a "temple recommend" which is signed by both the ward bishop and the stake president. | | | Even though LDS claim that Mormonism is a restoration of New Testament doctrines and practice, there is no record in the Bible or elsewhere showing that Jesus or His disciples ever participated in temple rites like the LDS. | | | Apostle McConkie said a temple is a "House of the Lord... |

| | THE BOOK OF MORMON COMPARED TO MORMONISM, COMPARED TO THE BIBLE |
| | The Book of Mormon is one of the four canonized Scriptures (1) of the Mormon Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). | | | Many Mormons go on to say that while all churches have some truth, their church is the only one with all the truth. | | | This is done by comparing the Book of Mormon to the current teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons or LDS) and to the Bible. |

| | John Taylor (1808-1887) |
| | Taylor and his wife were baptized as Mormons in 1836 after meeting with Church apostle Parley P. Pratt in Toronto, and they were active in the preaching and organization of the church in Canada. | | | Taylor was severely wounded in the conflict, and many Mormons believe that his life was divinely spared when a bullet directed towards his chest was stopped by a Media:Taylor pocket watch.jpg pocket watch/ which he was carrying at the time of the Smith Brothers' assassination. | | | In 1846, most Mormons followed Brigham Young into territory then controlled by Mexico, while Taylor went to England to resolve problems in church leadership there. |

| | Blacks and the Priesthood in the Mormon Church |
| | Note: Despite Mormonism's 148 years of teaching white superiority as the "word of God," LDS "Prophet" Spencer Kimball feigned compassion and support for blacks by allegedly intervening with God on behalf of "these, our faithful brethren." Astonishingly, Kimball seemed to actually take credit for convincing God to change His mind on the issue. | | | It is also interesting to note that Mormonism has not rejected its underlying doctrines of white supremacy, which are still present in Mormon "scripture" (see LDS Pearl of Great Price, Moses 5:16-41; 7:8, 12, 22; Abraham 1:20-27 and Book of Mormon, Alma 3:6-9, 14; 2 Nephi 5:21; 30:6-7). | | | The Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 30:6, now reads: "they shall be a PURE and a delightsome people." Substituting "pure" for "white" seems to indicate that Mormonism considers those two words to be interchangeable. |
