I stumbled upon SarahJane's blog Just the Two of Us the other day and instantly fell in love. Being the life learner that I am, I knew straight away that I wanted her to do a blog post for me on life as a mormon, so that I could learn more about!
I am guest posting over at SarahJane's blog today! Check it out.
Hey there. My name is
SarahJane and I blog over at Just
the Two of Us.
We would love for you to
stop by sometime and read about our adventures.
When Kirsty asked me to do
a guest post for her about
All Things Mormon, I
was really excited!
I have been a member
of
my entire life.
I love any opportunity I
can get to share what I believe to be true.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today I am going to share
with you a few of our core beliefs.
If you would like to learn
more,
you can visit the Church's website
email me: sarahjanemiller22@gmail.com
or leave a comment below
and I will surely get back to you :)
5 core principles of the
LDS Church
1. We believe in
God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ
and in the Holy
Ghost.
We refer to these three as
the Godhead.
All three members of the
Godhead are distinct beings with distinct roles
but they are one with
purpose and doctrine.
2. We believe in the same
organization that existed when Christ was upon the earth.
Our church is the true
restored church of Jesus Christ.
We believe there was an
apostasy for many years
where the church was taken
away from the earth.
We believe it was restored
to the earth in 1830
through the first
Latter-Day Prophet, Joseph Smith.
3. We believe that we have
a prophet on the earth today just like
the prophets in the bible. Our Prophet is
President Thomas S. Monson, he receives revelation
from God to direct the
members of the Church on earth.
You can read more about
current revelation during our bi-annual General
Conference.
4. We believe Temples to
be the house of God.
We visit them often to
complete Ordinances and make covenants with God.
My husband and I were
married in the Salt Lake temple.
By obedience to the
covenants we made with God that day,
we can be an eternal
family.
5. We believe that through
the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved.
We believe when Christ was
on the earth, he atoned for our sins.
Because of this atonement,
Christ is our redeemer and Savior.
He is the light and the
way to live with our Heavenly Father again.
Through Christ, we can
have eternal life.
All five of these
principles are taken from our 13 Articles of Faith
