	Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The church membership report includes all those who have been baptized by the church (adults and youth), regardless of attendance or whether they even consider themselves to be members (people who ask to have their names removed from church records are not included in the tally).
		The head of the church is the President, whom the members revere as the Prophet, seer, and revelator, and is entitled to receive revelation from God, and to guide the church and the world as His mouthpiece on the earth.
		Mormonism posits most of the same attributes to the members of the Godhead that Trinitarian Christianity posits to the Trinity: omnipotence, omniscience, omnibenevolence, eternal, immutable, immortality, and immanence in the universe but not transcendence of it.

	Mormon Historic Sites \| Utah.com
		The story of the Mormon exodus from the mid-west to Salt Lake has become well-known, but most tourists are still curious about Mormon culture and about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (or LDS Church), as the Christian religion is officially known.
		For all Utahns, members of the LDS church or not, Mormonism is a unique heritage which has shaped the past, and continues to impact the state's future.
		Mormonism today is a part of everyday life throughout the world, but because of the concentration of LDS church members in Utah, Mormon culture distinguishes the area.

	Are Mormonism, Mormon Church, and Mormon Beliefs Christian?
		Mormons will note that they include the Bible among the four books which they recognize as Scripture, and that belief in Jesus Christ is central to their faith, as evidenced by their official name, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
		By contrast, the Mormon Church teaches that eternal life in the presence of God (which it terms "exaltation in the celestial kingdom") must be earned through obedience to all the commands of the Mormon Church, including exclusive Mormon temple rituals.
		By contrast, the Mormon Church teaches that there was a great and total apostasy of the Church as established by Jesus Christ; this state of apostasy "still prevails except among those who have come to a knowledge of the restored gospel" of the Mormon Church (Gospel Principles, pp.

	THE MORMONS AND HOMOSEXUALITY
		Church policies are not always interpreted consistently; ex-members are occasionally seen on Usenets describing how they were excommunicated from the church because of their sexual orientation even though they have never been sexually active.
		Mormons refer to homosexuals as being "same-sex attracted." Their current beliefs are similar to that of most other conservative Christian churches.
		While the church holds fast to its belief that same-sex attraction is not in accordance with moral behavior, just as premarital or extramarital sex is not condoned, the position of the church is to counsel these members from a perspective of love and concern, not condemnation.

	Mormon Church : Apologetics research resources
		Mormons believe that their church is "the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth" (DandC 1:30), the only organization authorized by the Almighty to preach his gospel and administer the ordinances of salvation, the only Church which has power to save" (Mormon Doctrine; 1977 ed, p.
		Thus, while Mormons profess to be Christians, they are outside orthodox Christianity and the Mormon Church is considered to be, theologically, a cult of Christianity.
		The Roman Catholic Church declared Thursday that Mormon converts must be rebaptized, a setback to the Mormon Church's effort to characterize itself as a Christian denomination.

	Some blacks say Mormon Church must address racism
		Mormons believe their president -- the leader of the First Presidency -- is a ''living prophet'' who rules by direct divine revelation, so the fl priesthood ban must be seen as God's will or else the divine prophets from the mid-19th century until 1978 were grievously mistaken.
		The Mormon priesthood does not refer to a set of trained clerics -- rather, it is a lay status that virtually all Mormon boys enter at 12 and a prerequisite for even the most mundane church responsibilities.

	Salt Lake City Messenger, August 1998, Covering Up Mormon Polygamy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		While the leaders of the Mormon Church have tried to down play the fact that the early leaders of the church were polygamists, Mormon writer Todd Compton has compiled an astounding amount of material regarding the suffering Joseph Smith's plural wives endured.
		Most Mormons, however, are not aware of the fact that the early leaders of the church had a very unusual ceremony known as the "the law of adoption." Thus a man could have any number of men adopted to him as sons for eternity.
		The first seven presidents of the church who were supposed to be "prophets, seers, and revelators to the church," were involved in a doctrine that led them into breaking the law, adultery, polyandry, deception, perjury, bribery and a massive cover-up.

	Is the Mormon Church the Restored Church? : Christian Courier
		The Mormon doctrine concerning the “church” is a maze of confusion and contradiction.
		The persecuted church of the post-apostolic era did not cease to exist; rather, she “fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God” (Rev. 12:6).
		From the foregoing it is patently evident that the Mormon Church is not “The Church of Jesus Christ,” nor is it composed of “saints.” Rather, it is a cult founded in the delusions of Joseph Smith and others.
