  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

LDS teachings vs. Christianity: An overview

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—commonly called the LDS Church or Mormonism—is one of the fastest-growing religious movements that identifies itself with Christianity. But what exactly do Mormons believe? And how do LDS teachings compare with the historic Christian faith?

The roots of Mormonism

Mormonism began in the early 1800s with Joseph Smith, who claimed that God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared to him in a vision. In his account, recorded in the Pearl of Great Price, he asked which church to join and was told:

“I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight” (Joseph Smith—History 1:19).
Later, Smith said an angel named Moroni revealed golden plates, which he translated into the Book of Mormon. For Mormons, Joseph Smith is a prophet who restored the true church after a universal apostasy.

The book of mor'on has this amusing way of telling bible history. It seems to be told from the perspective of false prophets when compared to the actual bible.
