A. "Book of Mormon", 1830. "Doctrine & Covenants", "Pearl of Great Price".
B. Cross section of selected doctrines taught:
Mormons believe that God continues to reveal new things till return
of Christ.
Theistic Evolution: As man now is, God once was, as God is now man
may become.
God is not a spirit but has body of flesh & bones like a man, D&C
130:22; Moses 6:9
Polygamy on earth (<1925) and marriage in heaven.
God had sex with Mary to conceive Jesus Mary had actual sexual union
with God.
The Mormon hope is to take his may wives to populate another planet
just like God & Jesus did to planet earth.
Mormon husbands control whether each of their many celestial wives
raise from dead.
Use water instead of fruit of vine for the Lord's supper every week.
They baptize on behalf of dead people in order to save them. (They
are world leaders in genealogical research because of their view of
baptizing the dead.)
They believe that the vast majority of mankind will be saved in some
way from hell.
A video is available against Mormonism, "God Makers I" (Godmakers II
is error ridden).
C. 89 different sects but 2 main groups: "Utah LDS" & "Missouri Reformed
LDS"
A court ruling in 1870 declared that the RLDS were the "true &
lawful successor" of the original 1830 church established by Joseph Smith.
The main division is over who was the rightful successor of Joseph
Smith when he died. His son, Joseph Smith III (Missouri), as Smith II
prophesied, or Brigham Young (Utah)?
The "inspired" Doctrine & Covenants book is very different that the
RLDS & LDS use.
