| | Orson Pratt was one of the most remarkable men in LDS Church history. | | | Orson Pratt is best remembered by some as a theologian with deep insight who was so enthusiastic that he often expounded upon groundbreaking doctrine that had not yet received the approval of President Young. | | | In 1852, it was Orson Pratt who was selected by Brigham Young to publicly announce to the world the Church's doctrine behind the practice of plural marriage. |

| | This show of loyalty restored their friendship, and on 20 January 1843 church leaders declared Pratt's excommunication illegal, reinstated him in the church, and reappointed him as an apostle. | | | In 1852 Pratt was the first to announce publicly that the church practiced plural marriage. | | | Pratt's active involvement as a church leader waned. |

| | Orson Pratt was also very outspoken about the Book of Mormon Geography and though not always totally correct in some of his ascertions, they where scholarly based and generally correct. | | | Orson and Parley were members of the original Twelve Apostles of the early restored church. | | | It was Orson Pratt who in 1879, just two years before his death, divided the Book of Mormon into chapters and verses and supplied the first footnote cross-refernces. |

| | Reviews: Conflict in the Quorum: Orson Pratt, Brigham Young, Joseph Smith |
| | Pratt contended it was the right of the apostles to lead the church and not a separate quorum or individual. | | | The conflicts between Apostle Orson Pratt, Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young revolve around the key concepts of apostolic authority, theological harmony, and the role of continuing revelation within the governing body of the LDS church. | | | Polygamy is no longer a doctrine or practice of the LDS Church (Pratt's initial negative reaction reflects the official contemporary Church position), there is no longer any question concerning the process of succession, and there seems to be no disagreement that the LDS prophet is the final interpreter of Church doctrine. |

| | The Essential Orson Pratt |
| | While Pratt was a member of the LDS church's leading Quorum of Twelve Apostles many of his works on theology were published in pamphlet form and used in proselytizing new converts. | | | "The author of several dozen seminal treatises on Mormon doctrine, Orson Pratt (1811-81) produced during his life a spirited and thoughtful exposition and defense of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that charted the course for all subsequent LDS theologians. | | | Their arguments eventually led Young in 1875 to demote Pratt within the Quorum of the Twelve, reducing his chances of succeeding to the presidency of the church. |

| | Second, “Pratt’s defense of Mormon materialism and his critique of immaterialism, especially with regard to the ontology of human persons, is among the most developed of any LDS thinker on this topic” (245). | | | Following the martyrdom of Joseph Smith, Pratt wrote extensively on the vindication of the LDS faith by science, metaphysics, and philosophy. | | | This not only casts doubt on the fairness of Moreland’s critique of Pratt’s notion of solidity and his epistemological test—two notions that are central to Pratt’s metaphysic—but it is hardly the most persuasive or cogent way to present modern Mormon views on the matter to a modern audience. |

| | The details of their meeting were not specified, but Pratt either volunteered or was instructed to repeat his "further light and understanding" to church faithful less than four weeks later at that fall's general conference. | | | Orson Pratt has with stood me as he did Joseph [Smith]—I asked Orson to look over the "New Translation" [of the Bible] and found him speaking in [favor of it in] the school[. | | | Pratt and Young knew that Smith's version of the Bible supported Pratt's belief in the creation of Adam from the dust of the earth—a position Young's Adam-God teaching rejected. |

| | New Cool Thang » The Theology of Orson Pratt in Orson Scott Card’s Enderverse |
| | Orson Pratt opined that all living spirits and things are fundamentally “particles of intelligence” that join together to create living souls of varying degrees of intelligence. | | | Pratt goes on to say that a spirit is in fact a union of intelligence particles that are unified in purpose and become One. | | | As it turns out, the universe Ender and friends live in is apparently built on the theology and metaphysics (ideas about the nature of reality) of 19th century Mormon apostle Orson Pratt. |

| | Mormonism 201: Chapter 13 Communion and Baptism |
| | If this part of Pratt's quote conveys false doctrine, then one would assume that there are churches besides the LDS Church with authority to perform baptism and the Lord's Supper. | | | If a person were to quote Pratt's pre-existence teaching from The Seer2 while knowing the controversy of The Seer, s/he should not be considered dishonest since this is still current LDS teaching. | | | But that was the time they commenced little by little to transgress the laws, change the ordinances, and break the everlasting covenant, and the Gospel of the kingdom that Jesus undertook to establish in his day and the Priesthood were taken from the earth. |
