몰몬교와 전통기독교의 비교 및 이해

Q. In the book Book Of Mormon (Another Testament of Jesus Christ), there appear so many people named from Nepi to Moroni. As I have only read the Holy Bible International Version, I can't match each individual in Mormon to the Bible. Link each name in Mormon to the person in the Holy Bible, and make a table that explains major events done by a person. Make a four-column table. The first column is for the name in the Mormon second column is for the name that appears in the Bible. 3rd column is for the event at Mormon and 4th is for the event in the Bible. The first line of the table is name of the column, such as 1st is "Mormon Name", 2nd is "Bible Name", 3rd is "Mormon Event" and the 4th is "Bible Event". The following is the name that can be contained in the table. Nephi, Jacob, Enos, Jarom, Omni, Mormon, Mosiah, Alma, Helaman, Ether and Moroni.

 

A. Here is a table that correlates the names from the Book of Mormon to their counterparts in the Bible along with major events associated with each individual:

Mormon Name	Bible Name	Mormon Event	Bible Event
Nephi	N/A	Led a group to the Americas, established civilization	N/A
Jacob	Jacob	Son of Lehi, taught his people	Son of Isaac, grandson of Abraham, father of 12 tribes
Enos	Enos	Son of Jacob, prayed for forgiveness	Grandson of Jacob, father of Kenan
Jarom	N/A	Recorded brief history	N/A
Omni	Omri	Son of Jarom, kept records	King of Israel, founder of dynasty
Mormon	N/A	Compiled and abridged records	N/A
Mosiah	Moshe/Moses	Led people to Zarahemla	Prophet, leader of Israelites in Exodus
Alma	N/A	Prophet, judge, missionary	N/A
Helaman	N/A	Leader in battles, chief judge	N/A
Ether	N/A	Jaredite prophet and historian	N/A
Moroni	N/A	Last Nephite prophet, buried plates	N/A

Please note that while some names from the Book of Mormon may have similarities to names in the Bible, they are not necessarily the same individuals or carry the same significance across both texts. This table aims to draw parallels between certain figures in the Book of Mormon and individuals or events in the Bible for comparison.

 

 

Q. How does the Book of Mormon depict the life of Jesus Christ life from birth to death? Could we define the Mormon church as one division of Christianity, or is it nonsense of a quack?

A. The Book of Mormon depicts the life of Jesus Christ but focuses primarily on His appearance and teachings in the Americas following His resurrection. It doesn't extensively detail His birth or childhood as the Bible does in the New Testament books of Matthew and Luke. Instead, it describes Christ's appearance to the people in the Americas after His resurrection, teaching similar principles to those found in the Bible, emphasizing faith, repentance, and His role as the Savior.

Regarding the classification of the Mormon Church within Christianity, it's essential to understand that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), often informally called the Mormon Church, is considered by its members to be a part of Christianity. However, its theological beliefs, practices, and interpretations of scripture differ significantly from many traditional Christian denominations. Some Christian groups do not recognize the LDS Church as part of mainstream Christianity due to these theological differences.

The LDS Church claims to be a restoration of primitive Christianity, teaching that God called a prophet, Joseph Smith, to restore the original Christian church, which they believe had been lost over time. Key doctrinal differences between the LDS Church and traditional Christianity include beliefs in additional scriptures (like the Book of Mormon), the nature of God and Jesus Christ, the purpose of life, the concept of eternal progression, and unique practices such as proxy baptisms for the dead and eternal marriage.

Opinions on whether the LDS Church is a legitimate branch of Christianity or not can vary among different Christian denominations. Some Christians consider LDS beliefs and practices to be incompatible with essential Christian doctrines found in traditional Christian creeds, while others might acknowledge commonalities while still highlighting significant theological differences.

Ultimately, whether the LDS Church is considered a division of Christianity or dismissed as outside of traditional Christian beliefs often depends on individual perspectives and theological interpretations.

 

 

Q. Make a table that compares traditional Christianity and LDS. The name of it is constructed with five columns. The head column's name is"Theme", "LDS", "Traditional Christianity", "Difference" and "Common". The "Theme" column is composed of the following. the nature of God and Jesus Christ, the purpose of life, the concept of eternal progression, and unique practices and eternal marriage.

 

A.

Here's a table comparing various themes between the beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) and traditional Christianity:

Theme	LDS	Traditional Christianity	Difference	Common
Nature of God and Jesus Christ	Godhead consists of separate beings: God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, distinct and unified. Belief in Jesus Christ as the literal Son of God, Savior, and Redeemer.	Holy Trinity - One God in three Persons: Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit, co-equal and co-eternal.	Difference in the concept of the Trinity; separate beings in the Godhead versus one God in three Persons.	Belief in Jesus Christ as Savior and Redeemer.
Purpose of Life	Mortal life is a test to prove oneself and progress spiritually, leading to exaltation and eternal life. Emphasis on free will, repentance, and salvation through Christ's atonement.	Life to glorify God, serve others, and fulfill God's purposes. Emphasis on salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and following His teachings.	Differing perspectives on the purpose of mortal life and achieving salvation.	Importance of following teachings of Jesus Christ.
Concept of Eternal Progression	Belief in the potential for ongoing spiritual growth and progression, leading to becoming more like God and attaining eternal life.	Eternal destinations fixed after death (Heaven or Hell) based on acceptance or rejection of Christ.	Fundamental difference in the concept of ongoing progression and potential for godhood.	Belief in eternal life after death.
Unique Practices	Baptism for the dead, temple ordinances, proxy work for deceased, emphasis on family history, and genealogy.	Traditional sacraments (baptism, communion, etc.), prayer for deceased, emphasis on evangelism and discipleship.	Differences in rituals and practices related to the deceased and family history.	Emphasis on spiritual rituals and practices.
Eternal Marriage	Belief in eternal marriage and families being sealed together for eternity through temple ceremonies.	Marriage as a sacred union, but not necessarily eternal or sealed for the afterlife.	Belief in the eternal nature of marriage and family relationships.	Emphasis on the sanctity of marriage.

This table provides an overview of key theological differences and commonalities between the beliefs and practices of the LDS Church and traditional Christian denominations. It's important to note that within both LDS and traditional Christianity, there might be variations in beliefs and practices among different denominations or sects.
