The Church of Latter Day Saints was formed by Joseph Smith in 1820. While searching for God Joseph Smith practiced occultism (he was heavily involved in the occult) and one night “an angel of light” came to him. He claimed this angel was named Moroni. And Moroni revealed to him the truth about Christianity. While alive, Joseph Smith made about 65-70 prophecies which only about 5 or 6 has come to pass, making him a false prophet. This is why the LDS Church will not make them known to the public.
Head quartered in Salt Lake City, Utah the Main body of The Church rejects the orthodox doctrine of the Trinity. It also redefines salvation by grace to refer simply to resurrection. Almost all humans will be resurrected into one of three kingdoms of glory, the least of which is far superior to anything known in this life. Entry into the higher kingdoms, and one’s rank there, depends not only upon the atonement of Christ, but also upon one’s good works. Achievement of the highest potential within the highest kingdom Godhood requires complete “obedience to all the laws and ordinances of the gospel.” The Bible, Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, and Doctrine and Covenants are all considered scripture. Publishes Church News and Ensign Magazine.
The Book of Mormon was produced through a form of Chrystal gazing by eyewitness accounts. The book actually teaches very few Mormon practices. Mormon doctrine primarily comes from other Mormon scripture such as “Doctrine and Covenants”. The Book of Mormon and Doctrine of Covenants actually contradict one another. Despite enormous efforts by the Mormon Church they cannot produce any archaeological evidence to support the book of Mormon.
Mormonism is the fifth largest religious faith in America. There are more Mormons than Lutherans or Presbyterians. A large majority of Mormons come from other Christian denominations.
