Christianity And Mormonism: The Picture Of Jesus

319 Words2 Pages

The picture of Jesus between the denominations of Christianity and Mormonism is majorly contradictive; however, the view that aligns closer to the truth is Christianity. The veracity is in traditional Christianity because the Bible is true and without error. Though Mormonism has a set of beliefs of Jesus, they are not as accurate as those in the Bible. It is possible that God inspired Jesus, who is the physical symbolization of God, to achieve His prophecies as an additional verification of Christianity. In the Christian Bible, there are accurate satisfied prophecies of Jesus. The majority of Mormonism’s beliefs of Jesus are not mentioned in the Christian Bible. The most important disagreement between the two denominations is the belief in

    THE STRANGITE MOVEMENT James Jesse Strang (March 21, 1813 – July 9, 1856) was an American religious leader, politician and self-proclaimed monarch who founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Strangite), a faction of the Latter Day Saint movement. A major contender for leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints during the 1844 succession crisis, Strang vied with Brigham Young and Sidney Rigdon for control of the main body of Latter Day Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois before his rejection by that group led him to start his own sect. While serving as Prophet, Seer and Revelator of his church—which he claimed to be the sole legitimate continuation of the Church of Christ founded by Joseph Smith, Jr. in 1830—Strang

  • Mormon Upbringing In The End Of Days By Tara Westover

    1518 Words  | 7 Pages

    Seldom is the multifaceted nature of human comprehension ever pondered; developing one’s intellect is most often viewed as solely beneficial and seen as an advancement for an individual. The potential for regression in other areas of cognition due to acquiring an understanding of a particular topic is often overlooked. Tara Westover, an American memoirist, paints a picture of her unconventional Mormon upbringing in rural Idaho, simultaneously outlining the many facets of the human psyche. Tara describes her father, who is extremely adherent to Mormon doctrine; thence he takes the “End of Days" seriously, owning and reading many books written by Mormon prophets such as Joseph Smith, as well as the Bible, and in turn denounces the medical and

  • Comparing The Worldviews Of Mormonism And Orthodox Christianity

    2136 Words  | 9 Pages

    This idea of attaining godhood leans towards a form of polytheism, conflicting with the traditional monotheistic understanding of God's exclusive divinity. Additionally, the Mormon interpretation of the Trinity, with distinct personages for God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, raises concerns about logical coherence, differing from mainstream Trinitarian theology. Practical challenges arise in how believers engage with God and understand their faith. Moreover, the Mormon stance on the Trinity lacks comprehensive coherence with widely accepted theological frameworks, deviating from the long-established Christian doctrine. Furthermore, historical research, archaeological evidence, and genetic studies contradict the Mormon belief in an Israelite presence in ancient America, with established records and biblical accounts providing no support for such a

    The musical begins with an animated Disney-like illustration performed by the actors communicating some history on the religion of The Book of Mormon. Before attacking the entire summary and analysis of the musical, it would be a good time to make note that the creator for the production had intended for this musical to be a spectacle. Besides the point of addressing a religion in a humorous matter, they wanted the musical to have elements that are traditionally associated with Disney musicals and other blockbuster plays such as Wicked. Thus elaborate scenery, creative choreography and show-stopping musical numbers form a big part of the production. At the very top of the musical the audience is introduced to some history and ideas of the religion by characters that are dressed in animated clothing that is lit like mechanical characters at Disney world.

  • George Marsden's Analysis Of Christ And Culture

    George Marsden, a historian at the University of Notre Dame, argues Niebuhr’s analysis of the Christ and culture problem could be near the end of its usefulness in its present form. Marsden, as a historian, is aware of how Niebuhr’s historical setting influenced his work. Christ and Culture was written right after the horrors of World War II; because of this Niebuhr wanted to show how Christian influences could make a positive contribution toward tolerance. He addressed the accusation that “Christianity has made no positive contribution… to civilization or to culture” by developing the typology we have been studying (6). However, because these types are so broad they are historically inadequate and have been subjected to numerous critiques.

    The amount of unrestricted power one person can have is unbelievable and frankly must be limited. One researcher reasons the Mormons’ supreme leader, who is also called the prophet or president, word is said to be supreme. The supreme leader’s followers can be disciplined to neglect or scorn those who show any signs of defiance (Hitchens). This statement proves that religious cult leaders, such as the leaders of the Mormon church, have absolute power over their followers. The prophet can control how his followers respond in any situation and that type of power is excessive and unneeded.

    This has a tendency to push people one of two ways. The first is that people believe that the church leaders are truly prophets and thus Mormonism must be the favored religion of God. The second falls more in line with the declaration of the Orthodox Church in the second century CE, that Mormons are heretics, or at least not Christians, because they continue to insist that they receive prophecies and revelations despite the fact that the church declared there would be no more of these almost two thousand years
