'Criticism Of The Mormon Battalion'

A homegrown religion originating in the late 1820s, Mormonism arose as a rejection of the existing Christian sects and a return to what the Mormons considered to be pure Christianity. Similarly, the members believed their desire for a new kind of government stemmed from their disillusionment with what they believed was a corrupt government and a desire for the reestablishment of true American values and the original intent of the founding fathers. This sentiment is epitomized by Joseph Smith’s presidential platform, which states “No honest man can doubt for a moment, the glory of American liberty is on the wane; and that calamity and confusion will sooner or later destroy the

Mountain Meadows Massacre was emigrants coming from Arkansas to California.The emigrant were passing through Southern Utah in September 11, 1857.There are a total 120 emigrant they were killed by a group of Mormons with the help of local Paiute Indian. The people who survive were 17 children. A year later the 17 children were adopted by local families. The 17 children were 2 month to 2 or 3 years old. The mormon were kind enough to let the young ones lived. The mormon knew they wouldn’t remember when the mountain meadows massacre happen.

In the middle of winter in Missouri 1838, eight thousand to ten thousand Mormons trekked through the belligerent weather conditions searching to find a place of refuge. They were compelled out of the state of Missouri due to the infamous Mormon Extermination Order. The Extermination Order, which at the time was thought to be a compromise, ended up causing even more conflict in the form of violent rhetoric, battles, fights, and mobs. The members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and the Missourians had been struggling to find compromise. The Mormon Extermination Order was an attempt to create compromise for LDS members being persecuted in Missouri while ending the political and religious conflict the large numbers of Saints

A group of Mormons were trying to escape the Indians, which were terrorizing them. They left Arkansas in a wagon train. The wagon train was headed to California. But however the wagon train never made it through Utah. They only made it to Mountain Meadows.

In September of 1857, roughly 120 members of the “Baker-Fancher” party - a California bound wagon-train from Arkansas – decided to set up camp in Mountain Meadows, Utah Territory. The newly-arrived settlers were denied water access and grazing land by the LDS throughout Utah, and thus welcomed the lush pastures and pristine streams of Mountain Meadows. However, unbeknownst to them, an increasingly malevolent Mormon presence planned on retributive bloodshed.

Walker, Turley, and Leonard explain the reasons for high tension in Utah a different way. Instead of focusing about problems with the church like Denton, they explain about things happening around the church. They focus on how news of a coming U.S. army puts fear in the people. They quote Heber C. Kimball as saying “that the army wanted to take Mormon women back to the States” (Walker, Turley, Leonard 44). Also, the authors describe how Brigham Young also makes it seem like the second coming, where Christ comes to destroy the wicked, is near and that the people need to prepare for it. They also mention Brigham Young’s strict war policy. Within this war policy, they were to be frugal with all their supplies, and not sell or trade any of it to those of

Two of these denominations were the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the African Methodist Episcopal. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - commonly known as Mormons was founded by Joseph Smith; he was inspired to create a new church faction by the revivals he experienced in the western area of New York called the "Burned Over District-" implying it had been "scorched" by so many revivals. Although not regarded as a splinter off from an existing Protestant denomination but a restoration of primitive Christianity having distinctive post-biblical doctrines, the Mormon Church is now a flourishing, worldwide denomination. On the other hand, during the revivals, Baptists and Methodists converted large numbers of blacks. However, because of the mistreatment they received from their fellow believers, under the leadership of Richard Allen, the black population broke away from the Methodist church while creating their own denomination; the African Methodist Episcopal.10 Both churches mentioned above, having developed and sprouted out other denominations over the years, still stand even today.

People and religion are a part of everyday life. The world is sure to be empty without the existence of God’s creation. When people and religion are viewed as different, the history, beliefs, and practice are formed unrealistically by outsider, more so than an insider. In an interview with a LDS, the author attempts to write and summarize a Mormon‘s journey through life with God and others.

One of the largest struggles for members in the church is animosity of non-members. On one hand, many express their dislike of the LDS church without even knowing what Sacrament Meeting is or the full the title of the “Mormon church” (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). On the other hand, there are a number supposed experts about Mormon doctrine. Some have belonged to the Church themselves at one point, leaving after finding unresolved dissonance between their beliefs and the Gospel. Others are often learned scholars, criticizing the Mormon doctrine to prove their own views. The following paper involves the latter of the two in an analysis of Ezekiel 37:15-17, a Biblical scripture that the LDS Church believes to refer to The Book of Mormon.
