Catholic Faith Religion

Many people and churches refuse to allow Mormons the title of Christians based on differing theological views (Walker). Many Christians believe that revelation stopped with The Holy Bible. Mormons believe in modern prophets that constantly receive instruction and doctrine for the LDS church. This continuation of instruction makes people view Mormons as misguided and deceived (Perry). Mormons cannot be defined as “historical” Christians because although they believe in The Holy Bible, they do not believe in the various creeds and councils that appeared after New Testament times. Part of these creeds states the idea that God, Christ, and the Holy Ghost are three beings but the same God (Walker). Since the LDS Church rejects the Holy Trinity creed, they do not believe in God. A large part of the Christian belief is salvation through the grace of God. Mormons, however, believe only in salvation through good works (Stephenson).

Christianity is a widespread religion, but many people have never heard of Mormonism, a religion said to have branched from Christianity. However, if you take a closer look at the two faiths, you will find that there are several differences and few similarities.

Being a Catholic Christian entails missionary work and the responsibility to proclaim the Gospel of God to people in their place of work or area of residence, according to Pope Francis in a letter released on Oct. 22.

Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Catholics once included a solitary Christian church with two focuses of force, Rome and Constantinople. Known as the Great Schism, was the official split between Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Church. The Church split along doctrinal, religious, phonetic, political, and geographic lines, and the central break as never been mended. Though the Church split because of their differences, they still had some things that were similar.

The Mormon religion is very unique in many of its doctrine. While technically a Protestant faith, the Mormons generally share more doctrine with the Catholics. Because of its unique nature, I will be analyzing the Mormon faith, its history, organization, and doctrine, in comparison with the beliefs held by both Catholics and Protestants.

No, Mormon religion is not the same as Christianity. Although our book refers to the upcoming of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints as a “Christian Movement.” The religion is much different than Christianity. During the Second Great Awakening when Mormonism was forming, Mormons wanted their religion to be new and distinguished from Christians. Mormon religion traces its origins to Joseph Smith, while Christians trace their origins to Jesus Christ. Along with this, Mormons did not believe that they were the same as Christians. Rather than believing in the Bible, Mormons believed in their own book, “The Book of Mormon.” Most Christians felt that the “Book of Mormon” was not equal to the Bible. Christians also did not believe in the

The beliefs between Christians and Mormons are very different. Some would say that they are different because The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a cult. There has been great debate about whether or not the LDS church is a cult or part of the Christian religion. People believe that Mormonism is a cult, mostly because of the very different theology between The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and biblical teachings. Mormonism holds authority to The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price, and parts of the Bible that do not contradict Mormon doctrine (Cultwatch.com).

Mormons believe Jesus Christ is the founder of the Christian Church; however, the Christian church fell into a state of apostasy and was reformed with the development of the Mormon Church.

Mormons and Christians can agree on that Jesus Christ died for our sins and that Christ is the way to salvation. As written in Claiming Christ by Robert L. Millet and Gerald R. McDermott, “they agree that Jesus was Gully God and that his life and death are critical to human salvation. Both groups claim that human beings must trust in Jesus and make him our Lord. Both say that we are to have a personal relationship with Jesus” (16).

Throughout the world, there are thousands and thousands of world religions. Each of these world religion is unique and distant from one another, however, there are various religions that have similar aspects to each other since people creating new religions that are a modified version of an old religion. In Mormonism and Buddhism, both religions have differences and similarities to one another such as their beliefs, practices, and wedding ritual.

All three churches identify and Christians and believe that the Bible is God’s word. They also accept Jesus Christ as the God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Both the Baptist Church and the Latter-day Saint Church believed that God died, was buried, and rose again on the third day and then went to heaven. They also both believe in Jesus Christ and that Baptisms are performed for the remission of sins, although the age and decision process is

Roman Catholicism, like Protestantism they have some of the same problems with the transcendence and immanence. There has been some change during the Second Vatican Council, where it were to become more modernize, the Catholic Church and it doctrine. The importance of Vatican II and the necessary for Catholic theologian that is concern with the Catholic Church. Another question that will be address in this essay, is to consider of Catholic theology, such as Rahner and Kung who had started to develop the modern Catholic theology that is connected to contemporary culture. Finally, the way that the theology, respond to change in certain traditional setting to the theological visionaries.

Catholicism a religion not so different than what was known to most, there are similarities that clarify the presence of an ultimate being. It could truly be called a religion of God among all the others. The official model of religion is present within Catholicism, models such as a doctrine; the holy bible, cultic expressions; rituals and institutional organizations; church buildings. Catholicism from far seemed different than most religions, but a closer look concluded that it isn’t. Catholicism and Islam have many similarities, such as the Holy water, the importance of church or mosque attendance, and in total their strict religious teachings.

It is important to understand the beliefs of other religions. I chose to look at Christianity and explore their beliefs and which beliefs are most important to Christians. This paper will explore important beliefs within Christianity, particularly the belief that we should love our enemies. This belief is very unique to Christianity and is very hard to ascribe to. How can we love our enemies since they really hurt us? I was asking same question to some of my friends and I found the answer through my friend’s experience. Because God is her priority, she also makes it a priority to do what God commands; and god commands that we love our enemies even when it is difficult. Also, she has deep relationship with God, so she forgives people. In this

From the book of Isaiah 22:22 “Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder, When he opens no one will shut, When he shuts no one will open.”. The house of David represents the church in which Jesus gives the key to Peter and with them never his doors close for anyone. Therefore Peter is the first to have authority over the church. Peter is also head of the church is in Matthew 16:19 “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Meaning that Peter does just hold the keys of the the physical Church but also the spiritual one. Therefore Peter is the first out of the twelve to receive spiritual authority over the Church. Even so in Matthew 16:18 Jesus says that “And I tell you that you are Peter,and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.” Meaning that peter is the source of all the churches knowledge since he is the foundation that the Church will grow from. With this we a can now say that Peter is the head of the
