Growing up in a Southern Baptist home I didn’t hear much about plural marriages much until I got older and was able to read about it myself.

Young was originally Methodist but was converted to Mormonism shortly after he read the book of Mormon and officially joined the church in 1832 when his…

do they fall on the Church-Sect continuum? I’m going to say and stand with my answer that the Mormon church is nothing but a fancy cult. There are many examples of why they are a cult. One of the very first ones is they have a reward base structure way into getting into heaven. Their structure of leadership is funky yet it works.

Derived from Christianity in 1830, the Mormon Church (also known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) was founded by Joseph Smith in 1830. Due to religious persecution, and after the murder of Joseph Smith in 1844, the newly appointed leader, Brigham Young, led the Mormons out west to a religious safe haven in Salt Lake City. In 1823, Joseph Smith claimed he was visited by an angel named “Moroni”, and this angel told him of an ancient record that contained God’s dealings. In 1827…

October of 2009 (Wikipedia). It is evident to me that that point the authors were trying to prove is that God has surely intervened in most of history to save us when America should have failed. This thesis is the foundation of the book. Chris and Ted Stewart dive into explaining seven incidents where God has indeed intervened in history.
