| | Restoration (Mormonism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In Mormonism, the Restoration was a period in its early history during which a number of events occurred that were understood to be necessary to restore the early Christian church as demonstrated in the New Testament, and to prepare the earth for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. | | | Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the largest Mormon group, believe that their church is the "only true and living church upon the face of the earth". | | | According to Mormonism, in essence, all the Priesthood "keys" (or authority) necessary to establish Jesus Christ's church with authority to administer the Gospel and its ordinances were given to Joseph Smith who then organized that church to continue in perpetuity. |

| | Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Mormonism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | "Mormonism" and "Mormon theology" are appropriate terms for referring to Latter Day Saint doctrine, practice and culture. | | | When referring to the Latter Day Saint movement as an institution or historical movement, or to all Latter Day Saint churches as a body, but not to their religion, doctrines, belief systems, or cultures, it may be appropriate to use the phrase "Latter Day Saint movement" in the title. | | | Articles about the religion, doctrines, belief systems, and cultures of Mormonism, and that could apply to more than one Latter Day Saint denomination, should use the word "Mormonism". |

| | In the Mormon Church, however, all prophetic blessings given are only said to be guaranteed if the recipient remains faithful to the LDS Church. | | | The LDS Church, which claims to be a restored version of the original church as set up by Christ, has also "restored" the practice of giving patriarchal blessings to its members. | | | In addition to this, and in spite of the LDS leaders' teachings that all Mormons are true descendants of Israel, the fact remains that the vast majorities are not. |

| | Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints |
| | Originally the Church was called the "Church of Christ (Mormonism)Church of Christ" due to the belief that it is the restored Church of Jesus Christ. | | | Currently, one of the most commonly used visual symbols of the Church is the trumpeting angel Moroni, proclaiming the restoration of the true gospel to the Earth (usually identified as the angel mentioned in Revelation 14:6–7); and a statue depicting the angel often tops the tallest spire of LDS temples. | | | Church members — known as Latter Day Saints — hold that their faith is the divinely appointed Restoration (Mormonism)restoration of the Church established by Jesus Christ as depicted in the New Testament, as established by prophets in earlier dispensations. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mormonism |
| | It is of importance to bear in mind that the opposition to the Mormons in the localities where they settled is, from the contradictory and divergent statements made by the Latter-Day Saints and the neighbours not of their belief, difficult of explanation. | | | Mormonism announces as one of its principal aims the preparation of a people for the coming of the Lord; a people who will build the New Jerusalem, and there await His coming. | | | If the command to restore polygamy to the modern world was from on High, then, by submitting to the decision of the Supreme Court, the Mormon hierarchy reversed the apostolic proclamation and acknowledged it was better "to obey man than to obey God". |

| | 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. |

| | This doctrine is the logical and scriptural alternative to the Mormon concept of an apostasy and restoration. | | | It is also to the Book of Mormon to which we turn for the plainest description of the Catholic Church as the great and abominable church. | | | Such restoration and re-establishment, with the modern bestowal of the holy priesthood, would be unnecessary and indeed impossible had the Church of Christ continued among men with unbroken succession of priesthood and power, since the meridian of time [the time of Christ]. |

| | REACTIONS TO CHRISTIANITY |
| | Mormons, however, believed Indians were descended from Israel's "ten lost tribes." White settlers suspected these strange Mormons of subversive activity, particularly an effort to incite the Indians to attack white settlers. | | | Mormons teach that an angel visited Smith in 1823 to reveal where Moroni and his father, Mormon, | | | Alexander Campbell and his father, Thomas, left or were excused from Presbyterianism because of their views on the harmful nature of creeds and confessions. |

| | MORMON CENTRAL - JOSEPH SMITH - LDS TEMPLES - BOOK OF MORMON - MORMONISM |
| | Baptism and ordination are first mentioned in the Book of Mormon when Alma establishes "the church of Christ" in the wilderness near the "waters of Mormon." Alma, one of the "priests" of the wicked king Noah, had heard Book of Mormon prophet Abinadi's last sermon before his martyrdom and was converted. | | | Authority in the early Mormon church was originally patterned on a similar model of charismatic or spiritual power, not on priesthood ordination. | | | Because the earliest Mormon concept of apostasy held that the ancient church lost God's authority when his spirit withdrew because of unbelief, the earliest Mormons conceived of restoration as a return of God's spirit. |

| | Mormonism and restoration: What Joseph Smith failed to restore |
| | If Smith purported to reveal and restore the fullness of the Gospel, then these are elements that are essential for living the Christian life and being an effective disciple. | | | Joseph Smith made it quite clear that his prophetic calling was not to mold or reshape the existing religious system, but rather to simply restore the true Gospel message and a God-directed church to implement and spread that message. | | | But the work of the Context Group also raises a serious question for Mormons, and for that matter, for any group that does or might presume to possess prophetic authority to say that modern Christianity is out of place. |

| | Indeed, the Mormon gospel attracted various religious Primitivists, especially Seekers, who believed Joseph Smith's Church of Christ fulfilled nearly three hundred years of restorationist expectations. | | | In this important new contribution to the early history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Dan Vogel introduces readers to groups and individuals who seem to have anticipated the kind of radically different religious and spiritual restoration Mormonism represented during the 1820s and 1830s. | | | Since graduating from California State University at Long Beach, Dan Vogel has authored and edited the critically acclaimed Early Mormon Documents series, Indian Origins and the Book of Mormon, and The Word of God: Essays on Mormon Scripture. |
