The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint (Mormon Church) (hereinafter referred to ¡°Mormon Church¡±) insists by itself that Mormon Church is only church of Jesus Christ. As you may notice from its name, the start of this Mormon Church was deeply related to the Christianity. Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormon Church was a devout Christian before he founded this Mormon Church. Also, Mormon Church uses both Old and New Testaments for its scriptures. Also, Book of Mormon, Mormon Church¡¯s own scripture, contains many quotes from the Holy Bible.

Joseph Smith, Prophet

Joseph Smith, a prophet of Mormon Church, was significantly influenced by the Second Great Awakening in early 1820, when he was 14. His family moved to Manchester, New York State. In this town, his family went through negative experiences caused by denominationalism. According to Smith¡¯s insistence, he met God and Jesus Christ when he could not make his mind at which denomination he would attend. In his story, God and Jesus Christ told him that all denominations are wrong and he shall not be a part of any of them.

According to Smith¡¯s insistence, he had received many visions and found buried golden plates which contain the contents of present Book of Mormon. He interpreted the contents of the golden plates and published it named Book of Mormon in March 1830. On April 6th, 1830, he officially organized the Mormon Church with his six (6) colleges in Fayette, New York State. And his church spread to Ohio and Missouri. And he founded a city for Mormons at Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1840. At that time, Nauvoo was the center of Mormon Church.

first met Mr. Smith in Kirkland, Ohio, and he became No. 2 man, when Mormon Church organized the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, for the first time.

Mormon Church has four main scriptures: Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrines and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. Based on these scriptures, Mormon Church insists that they found and will found a heaven on the earth. Book of Mormon is the basic and main scripture of Mormon Church. According to Mormon Church¡¯s insistence, Book of Mormon was written by ancient men who moved from Jerusalem to America, in B.C. 6th Century, and they wrote this book for the period from B.C. 600 to A.D. 421.

According to Book of Mormon, Book of Mormon is the record of two peoples who achieved great civilizations in the ancient time. One of them came from Jerusalem in B.C. 600 and divided into two ethnic groups;Nephites and Rayman. Also, Book of Mormon claims that there were other people named Jared who left Jerusalem when Babel Tower was built and God brought into existence of multiple languages. In accordance to this book, all peoples, except Rayman, were collapsed and Rayman became the ancestor of American Indians. The most important event in Book of Mormon is Jesus Christ¡¯s ministry to the Nephites after his resurrection. In the introduction of Book of Mormon, there is a brief explanation that Book of Mormon will prescribe its doctrines regarding gospel, plan for salvation, and duties and obligations for achieving peace and eternal salvation.

Mormon Church believes that Book of Mormon has same contents with the golden plates¡¯ contents written by Mormon, a historian and prophet. They believe that Mormon gave these golden plates to his son Moroni and Moroni buried these plates in Hill Cumorah, Manchester, New York State in A.D. 421. Also, Mormon Church members claim that Joseph Smith found out these plates with support of resurrected Moroni.

Most of all, Mormon Church accepts continuous instructions given by ¡®Living Prophets (Mormon Church¡¯s top three leaders)¡¯ as much authoritative as Holy Bible. Mormon Church treats these Living Prophets as successors of Joseph Smith and church members follow their instructions without any objections. ¡°Articles of Faith¡± which consists of 13 Articles written by Joseph Smith also prescribes Mormon Church¡¯s general doctrines. These Articles claim that ¡®Book of Mormon has same authority with Holy Bible¡¯ and Mormon Church will ¡®build a heaven on the earth in American Continent¡¯. Theses doctrines and Articles clearly show that Mormon Church¡¯s doctrines are significantly different from traditional churches¡¯.

Mormon Church believes that a family is the basic unit of church and society and the importance of family prevails over everything. Also, all people receives a spirit from heavenly parents, and at very first, mankind was born to become just like God. However, the fall of mankind interrupted such plan of creation and mankind shall build a heaven on the earth for recovering from such fall. In Mormon Church, marriage on the earth is only way to build the heaven on the earth.

When the president is dead, one of two counselors will be the next president of church.

Ever since its foundation on February 14th, 1835, the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles performs the highest administrative roles for Mormon Church ad its closely supports the First Presidency. In case where the First Presidency is not available for any reason, the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles will organize another First Presidency. The hierarchy of Mormon Church is in following order: the First Presidency, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, Quorums of the Seventy, Area Presidency. In the Quorum of the Sev enty, there is also top three leaders.

Mormon Church builds unique chapel buildings for their churches in many countries over the world. In Korea, Mormon Church¡¯s chapel is located at Nam San Mountain. This building means that the country at where thechapel building is built has certain number of church members. Mormon Church¡¯s chapels are built in countries where has an political and cultural connection with America (Germany, Japan, Phillipine, Korea and etc.) and countries where the white community has power (Australia, South Africa, etc.). It shows that Mormon Church is originally from United State of America and pursues white community.

Many academic scholars, including Jan Shipp, a famous socialist insist that Mormon Church shall be categorized as a new religion, not a Christianity. This is one of way how Mormon Church tries to escape from

the heresy debates with Christianity. And, of course, it shows off its growth and big influence.

Despite of such trials, Mormon Church insists followings: (1) All of church leading groups, including the First Presidency, officially claim that Mormon Church is Christianity. (2) Mormon Church uses Holy Bible as its scripture, but also Book of Mormon which has many quotes from Holy Bible; and (3) Mormon Church claims that it is a Christianity based on the Book of Mormon (revelation from the past) and instructions from Living Prophets (revelation from the present). (4) However, Mormon Church¡¯s doctrines are significantly different from traditional churches¡¯. It shall be categorized as a heresy.

It is true that Mormon Church is recognized by the public as a holy and ethical religion. In Korea, it is sad, but ethical heresy is preferred to unethical traditional churches. During traditional churches judge heresy churches, traditional churches who caused serious social problems fail to be light and salt in the society. And such failure has made serious criticism against traditional churches and Christianity. However, such failure cannot justify and allow heresies and their doctrines. Mormon Church shall be categorized as a heresy, if it calls itself as only and sole church of Jesus Christ.​
