The truth behind the Mormon Church's strange beliefs - Latter-day Saints

 

There always seems to be quite a bit of confusion around the Mormon religion and church. People often ask if they are considered Protestant or Catholic or just what category they fall under. They do not fit into either, although their founder, Joseph Smith, had a Protestant background. Mormons do not fall into one category because they do not meet the criteria of the doctrine of Christianity. Although they are not Protestants, they are definitely not Catholics either, as their doctrine is further removed from Catholic doctrine.

You may not realize that you have Mormons on your doorstep. Very often they are confused with Jehovah's Witnesses. Generally, you will find that the Mormons who come to your door are probably the men and they are always well dressed but conservative. Very often you will hear them refer to each other as Elder John or whatever they are called. This does not refer to his age, but it does refer to his priesthood. This is something everyone should receive at the age of 18. There are two priesthoods and the lesser of the two would be more equal to what Christians would call a deacon.

It is interesting to note that Mormons always aim for the ideal family life. However, they have been found to have higher rates of suicide, divorce, and other types of domestic problems. Mormons do believe in polygamy, but very few of them actually practiced it.

One should say that Mormonism is basically what would be called an American religion because of its roots. Mormons based their theory that ความเชื่อแปลกๆ was basically established among American Indians, but was extinguished. That can be equated in much the same way as the roots of the Anglican Church of England's beliefs. Of course, polygamy is known to be illegal and the Mormon belief has followed this law. What was once considered good by Mormons is the more modern belief that it has been concluded that polygamy really is not acceptable.

They are strong believers in revelations regarding God simply by revealing his will. It must be remembered that if one wants to make a comparison, in the Catholic religion revelations are believed to have died when the last apostle did. That God is no longer revealed through revelations. Mormons believe in purity and look severely at things like alcohol, tobacco, and tea.

They are diversified in their beliefs about their stance on Jesus and again this boils down to the controversy of whether alcohol in moderation is permissible. According to Mormons, it is specifically a taboo drink.

Another interesting factor is that they believe in various habits and that each of these habits has its own level and they are there for specific groups according to the way they lived their lives.
