| | Mormon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The LDS Church argues "Mormon", "Mormon fundamentalist" and "Mormon dissident" in reference to organizations or groups outside of the LDS Church (especially those that practice plural marriage) is a misunderstanding of Mormon theology, in particular the principle of continuous revelation and Priesthood authority. | | | However, some feel the terms "Mormon" and "Mormonism" should be used exclusively to refer to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the LDS Church), which is by far the largest Latter Day Saint denomination. | | | In a press release from 2001, the LDS Church stated that the word "Mormon" as an adjective in such expressions as "Mormon pioneers", "Mormons" as a noun in reference to church members, and "Mormonism" as a doctrine, culture, and lifestyle were all acceptable. |

| | Reviews: Things in Heaven and Earth: The Life and Times of Wilford Woodruff, A Mormon Prophet |
| | Woodruff was the fourth president of the LDS Church and is regarded as a prophet and seer. | | | Woodruff, fourth of 13 Mormon presidents, who served from 1889 to 1898, is credited with saving the church by formally ending plural marriages in church teachings and thus appeasing the United States government, which threatened to dissolve the Mormon Church and confiscate its far-flung property. | | | Things in Heaven and Earth, the Life and Times of Wilford Woodruff, a Mormon Prophet is a new biography of this pioneer prophet who held the future of his church and the Territory of Utah in his hands. |

| | THE MORMON PROPHET |
| | The Mormon people were about to undertake another exodus, this time into an all but untrodden wilderness, thus fulfilling a prediction made by their Prophet in August, 1842. | | | He commenced preaching, not from the Book of Mormon, however, but from the Bible; the first chapter of the first of Peter was his text. | | | By this means the Mormons ruled the county." It is not true, I repeat, that the Mormon vote was "always cast solid," or that it was invariably thrown to the Democratic side. |

| | When the Mormon prophet obtained his mummy and the papyrus that went with it his followers were in a frenzy of delight over his powers as a divine translator. | | | The sacred books of the Mormon Church, which this wholly American cult proclaims to have been given divinely to the first Mormon prophet as a solemn addenda to the known Scriptures, have now been in circulation in Mormondom for about seventy years. | | | From the diary of the Mormon prophet himself a full account is to be had of the gusto with which he received the Egyptian papyrus and proceeded to give it forth in an English version. |

| | Hallmark Mormon Prophet Test -- Questioning Polygamy |
| | Joseph was a mortal, with follies, not a fallen prophet. | | | But when a prophet stands in the way of a person attaining the Christ, then he is a fallen prophet. | | | It is the mindset that wants a dispensational prophet to be an infallible spokesman for God from which the idea of a "true" or a "fallen" prophet springs. |

| | Salt Lake City Messenger, August 1998, Covering Up Mormon Polygamy |
| | Most Mormons, however, are not aware of the fact that the early leaders of the church had a very unusual ceremony known as the "the law of adoption." Thus a man could have any number of men adopted to him as sons for eternity. | | | Joseph Smith, the first Mormon prophet, actually claimed that God gave him a revelation that polygamy was to be practiced by the Mormons! | | | The first seven presidents of the church who were supposed to be "prophets, seers, and revelators to the church," were involved in a doctrine that led them into breaking the law, adultery, polyandry, deception, perjury, bribery and a massive cover-up. |

| | It was hare that the Prophet married his wife, and it was here, on a corner of her ancestral estate, that the spiritual pair, the originator of the Latter Day Saints and the "Daughter of God" settled down to the material occupation of housekeeping. | | | At twilight that evening the Prophet came out to walk upon the water, and before starting he exhorted his followers to have faith, as faith on their part was absolutely indispensable to enable him to perform a miracle. | | | After he turned Mormon it was supposed that he had something of the kind in his mind when he preached from that text. |

| | Mormonism - Christian or Cult? |
| | Mormons let it be known in early-2001 that they no longer wanted to be referred to as "the Mormon Church," "the Latter-day Saints Church," or by "LDS Church." If the name must be shortened, "the Church of Jesus Christ," or "the Church" is acceptable, they said (3/19/01, USNandWR). | | | Mormon Apostle McConkie explained, "And Christ was born into the world as a literal Son this Holy Being; he was born in the same personal, real, and literal sense that any mortal son is born to a mortal father. | | | Mormonism teaches that Jesus, Lucifer, and all the demons, as well as all mankind, are actually all spirit brothers and sisters, born in the spirit world as spirit babies to our man-god Heavenly Father and his goddess wives. |

| | His predecessor as university president, David Bednar, was named in 2004 to the "Quorum of the 12 Apostles," a church governing body considered by Mormons to have the same authority as the 12 Biblical apostles. | | | Scholars of Mormonism say Clark's exchange of cosmopolitan Cambridge, Mass., for Rexburg, in rural Idaho, offers a glimpse of the allegiance Mormon laity have to leaders in one of the world's fastest growing faiths. | | | A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Clark took a call in May from Gordon Hinckley, the 95-year-old president of the Mormons. |

| | Wesley P. Walters Article |
| | This was a strange thing for this prophet of a new religion to do, and seriously challenges the story he put out ten years later about the origin of his work. | | | That later story claims that in 1820 Joseph Smith had seen two glorious personages, identified as the Father and the Son, and was informed that the creeds of all the "sects," or various denominations, "were an abomination" and he was twice forbidden to join any of them. | | | However, there was never any dispute that he had become a member, and by this one act he undercut the story he later put forth that God in a special vision had instructed him specifically not to join the Methodist Church. |

| | Joseph Smith - the prophet puzzle |
| | Early in his career it is likely that Smith conceived his prophetic role much the same as the Book of Mormon prophets, who for the most part write according to their best knowledge rather than by direct revelation. | | | Thus even if Smith wrote the Book of Mormon himself, under this definition it would have to be considered inspired of God because it attempts to persuade mankind to do good and to believe in Christ. | | | Smith's reasoning was simple, the Book of Mormon is of God because "all things which are good cometh of Christ" (v. |
