    In accounts of Mormonism written before 1860, Joseph Smith tends to be cast as the star of the Latter-day Saints drama. While Mormon writers, who believed him to be a prophet, always pictured Smith as a hero, non-Mormons usually described him as a villain. There has been…

    Mormonism originates from claims of revelation by God to New York farmer Joseph Smith, in the 19th century. According to his account, God and Jesus appeared to him and ordered him not to join any currently organized religion, for they were all imperfect. He was then told to await a visit by an angel for further instruction (Gutjahr 15).

    For my service project I chose to conduct an interview with someone who practices a faith different from mine so I interviewed a Mormon. Some might consider Mormonism to be part of the Christian faith, but I would readily argue that it has differences that are substantial and irrefutable. I had always wondered about the beliefs of the people who spend their youth in ties knocking on doors and several movies made the differences seem pretty extreme. I began to wonder what it is that they…

    Mormons where 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. They have been known for their problems with society. They never seem evolve to the times in all truth honesty unless it’s for the better of the church.…

    One can interpret faith as a subjective experience. Many of us approach religion in our own personal way. Whether that means rejecting the entire idea of religion or following in our family’s religious footsteps, it is a personal choice that we all come to make at some point in our lives. I’ve always been very open to the idea of religion. The air of mystery that surrounded The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was the reason I chose it as my listening post. The Church of…

    Dividing the churches into “wards,” each community has a home church where they attend services. Members can attend services at other wards, but only in the home ward are members allowed to serve, teach, and work. The church services opened in a typical manner with a hymn and an opening prayer. Then the bishop stood up to talk about church business. Because there was not anything pertinent at that time, there was another hymn sung. The singing is done while sitting down, though. The next…

    Christianity began as a sect or subgroup of Judaism during the first century Common Era before it developed into its own separate religion “That is to say, as Christians continue to delve into their own historic past in their ongoing journey to enrich their own present and future, especially liturgically, they cannot do so without addressing the historical matrix—first-century Judaism— out of which they sprang” (Jacobs, 2012, p. 518). It is considered to be a monotheistic Abrahamic religion.…

    For decades even hundreds years since human society and different ideologies have been formed, there are two invisible walls separating people from each other, one in philosophy between materialism and mentalism, who have differences in substance of matter and consciousness; the other one between natural science and religion, who disagree with each other on the genesis of the world; the latter is more serious and obvious to be discussed among the history. In the centuries of despotism by…

    leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to the dark side”. Fear that leads to judgment of people’s appearance, culture, and belief’s. I have had two important relationships in my life, and because of that I have read into Judaism and Mormonism, to get a better understanding of their religion. I have also attended a few other mass services within the Christian faith just out of curiosity to see how they have differed from the tradition Catholic masses I am accustomed. I hope that by…
