 Mormonism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mormonism (also called Latter Day Saint theology or Mormon theology and Latter Day Saint culture or Mormon culture) is a religion, ideology, movement, and subculture originating in the early 1800s as a product of the Latter Day Saint movement.
The term Mormonism is also often used to refer specifically to the theology and culture of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is by far the most numerous and well-known religion among sects claiming derivation from Joseph Smith.
Smith's theology was seen by contemporary Mormons as answering nearly all of the unresolved religious questions of his day.

 Garden of Eden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Latter-day Saint theology, the Garden of Eden is believed to be located at what is now inside the city limits of Independence, Missouri, and this land is considered among the most holy.
The identity of the latter two rivers have been the subject of endless argument, but if the Garden of Eden had really been near the sources of the Tigris and the Euphrates, then the original narrators in the land of Canaan would have identified it as located generally in the Taurus Mountains.
LDS believe that the configuration of the continents was different before the Great Flood, and that the geographical descriptions of Eden in the Book of Genesis refer to entirely different lands and rivers that were later renamed after more familiar local lands and rivers in the Near East after the Flood.

 Our History
The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was organized on April 6, 1860, at Amboy, Illinois, under the leadership of Joseph Smith III.
Saints from Jackson County and the Kirtland experiment, which was nearing financial collapse in the depression of 1837 - 1838, joined to form a new center at Far West, Missouri.
Increased tensions between the Saints and local residents resulted in church members moving northward from county to county.

 Maximus Nothus Decretum: A Look at the Recent Catholic Declaration regarding Latter-day Saint Baptisms - FARMS Review
According to my understanding, the primary reason the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints baptizes all converts-even those who were previously baptized in another faith-is an issue of authority and not because of the convert's flawed understanding of the nature of God at the time of his or her previous baptism.
Catholic bishop George Niederauer observes that in baptizing all converts to the church, the Latter-day Saints are acknowledging their own baptism as "accomplishing something which is substantially different from that of all other baptismal rites." [77] At a cursory glance Niederauer's claim seems correct.
For faithful Latter-day Saints who have enjoyed decades of relatively persecution-free acceptance, this may also serve as one more reminder of their need to be the "peculiar people" God has called them to be (see Deuteronomy 14:2;26:18; Titus 2:14; 1 Peter 2:9).

 AML-List Review: Latter Days: A Guided Tour Through Six Billion Years Of Mormonism
Coke Newell's Latter Days is a lively and wonderfully-written account, not just of the institutional Mormon Church, but of the entirety of the metaphysics of Mormonism (thus the title "A Guided Tour Through Six Billion Years of Mormonism" -- a nod to the concept of the pre-existence).
Indeed, one of the great successes of Latter Days is the humanizing, if I may say it this way, of a story that is an intensely human tale of divine leading.
One of the most charming aspects of Latter Days is the way in which Newell presents a high concept, in the following instance the idea of "Church callings," and then brings us back to earth with a thud.

 Latter-day Saints: FAQ LITE
Latter-day Saints are taught that our bodies are sacred and should be kept modestly dressed and should not be touched or used in any sexual way outside of marriage.
B.H. Roberts was a Latter-day Saint General Authority and intellectual who drafted several writings in 1922 dealing with alleged problems in the Book of Mormon.
In LDS theology, sexuality is a divine part of human nature, a sacred gift, which must be used within the limits the Lord has set.

 The Book of Mormon Wars: A Non-Mormon Perspective
Some liberal Latter-day Saints, as we mentioned earlier, describe their "conversion" to the historical-critical method as a tranforming experience and seem to believe that it is the only method accepted today by the scholarly community.
At this stage, an outside observer expecting conservative Latter-day Saints to adopt a fundamentalist view of truth, and liberal Latter-day Saints to adopt a postmodernist one, may easily claim that something should be wrong.
Although it would be wrong to conclude that Latter-day Saint scholars are uninformed or uninterested in non-Mormon biblical exegesis, what in other denominations is a battle for the Bible is in contemporary Mormonism a battle for the Book of Mormon.

It is "deceptive," and the Latter-day Saints "have been deceived and are buried in lies from their leaders." [28] In fact, it is doubtful that Mormonism should even be granted the status of a religion.
Latter-day Saints believe this is the central fact, the crucial foundation, the chief doctrine, and the greatest expression of divine love in the plan of salvation.
But Latter-day Saints, both leaders and led, are "frightfully ignorant" [35] and ordinary Mormons are both "spiritually blind" and "slavish." [36] Indeed, Decker has observed elsewhere, "the Mormons seem to have had their minds zapped by aliens when it comes to logic and Biblical truth." [37]

 Reviews: Conflict in the Quorum
Bergera's volume whets the appetite of those interested in Mormon doctrine and points to the need for someone to research and write a multivolume history of Latter-day Saint theology.
Those convinced that leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have always been "monolithically unified" and afraid to speak their minds will find this book not only surprising but interesting as well.
It can be effectively argued, as Bergera does, that today many of Pratt's theological ideas are supported in the writings of Mormon apostles, while those espoused by Young are believed to be flawed.

I wish that were true, but there is a definite trend of Saints wanting systemized teachings (think Mormon Doctrine and its (mis)use) that makes me think the Saints want religion.

Eleven Latter-day Saint scholars will present various papers on Mormon theology with scholars not of the LDS faith responding to the works.
The conference is being funded by the Institute for the Study and Preservation of Ancient Religious Texts, the Richard L. Evans Chair for Religious Understanding, the Joseph Fielding Smith Institute for Latter-day Saint History and Yale University Divinity School.
West and I are looking for a publisher and hope to use the papers presented at the conference as the basis for a collection of essays on LDS theology, but we don't have a commitment from a publisher yet," Faulconer said.

 Mormon Answers (LDS FAQ): The Divine Potential of Human Beings - or Do Mormons Believe They Can Become Gods?
Christ's statement in John 10:34 ("Ye are gods...") is consistent with the rest of the Bible and with Latter-day Saint theology.
The passage comes from Saint Clement of Alexandria, one of the great early Christian Fathers who wrote in the late second century, recognized as an authentic early Christian leader and defender of the faith.
Still in the second century, Saint Justin Martyr insisted that in the beginning men were 'made like God, free from suffering and death," and that they are thus deemed worthy of becoming gods and of having power to become sons of the highest." [5]

 Latter-day Saint theology Information
Sorting out exactly which Saints are ''ahistorical'' is difficult, because of the larger difficulty of falsifiabilityproving a negative: the absence of independent records of a Saint's existence doesn't prove she or he never existed; indeed there are no specific records of the existence of ''many'' people who lived before the 20th century.
Saints are believed to have a power of intercession with God (Allah), and thus the ability to perform miracles and to give power or blessingblessings, known as baraka.
The Saint is held up by the community as an example of how we all should act, and his or her life story is usually recorded for the edification of future generations.
