The Seer was an official periodical of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) which first appeared in 1853 and was published throughout 1854.
I have never heard of that
Well its a thing
One question are you a Mormon? @HUNTER4639
Nah but I am a Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
How is that different from being Mormon?
<:dogekek:726878872607653918>
Because I don't worship Mormon
As the name could imply
I mean Mormons themselves don’t worship Mormon, do they?
No, but some people think we do because of the name that is so common for us
The name "Mormon" was given as a label for us by people who hated the Church. The extermination order was also given to kill all "Mormons" so like
Yeah
But the name Mormon would still apply to you cause you believe the exact same thing Mormons do right?
I am a "Mormon" through and through
But we don't like to be identified by that name anymore
But it's whatever
What would you prefer to be called
Well thats still Mormonism just with a rebranded name
It's not a rebranded name lol Mormonism was a rebranded name of Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints @hyperiacob
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, often informally known as the LDS Church or Mormon Church, is a nontrinitarian, Christian restorationist church that considers itself to be the restoration of the original church founded by Jesus Christ.
Same thing
As long as you understand that we are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints you can call us Mormons lol
Ok
How can it be founded by jesus Christ?
We believe that when Christ was on the earth he established the church and after he was crucified and his apostles died it was gone from the earth until Joseph Smith was able to restore the Gospel through divine guidance.
So why did God wait so long then to restore it
Also do you not know this verse?
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:8-9
Well we believe that it is the same Gospel as Jesus Christ
I'll respond in a sec I need to get ready for work
No worries
So you're saying only joesph Smith was the only to that was worthy to read and understand that Golden plates that was in reformed Egyptain so he gave to angel to bring it back to heaven?
@Pizzacork Alrighty, so as far as I understand Christ waited until Joseph Smith was alive because he was the right man for the job. Everyone has unique personalities and he knew that Joseph would be able to get it done.
Do you not know revelation?
Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it. So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it.
Revelation 5:2-4
@hyperiacob if you could rephrase your question that would be cool your previous paragraph
Do you not understand my question?
Not the first one. It's probably just the Grammar mistakes but I don't fully get it
Oh ok
So no one else in 1700 years was worthy of bringing it back except Joseph Smith? What qualities singled him out that made him worthy of the task
No one is worthy though
Read the verse i put up
To be completely honest with you, I don't know. But I have faith that God and Jesus Christ do.
