Mormonism

Mormonism, as a religious movement, does not have a direct representation or mention in the Bible, as it originated in the early 19th century with the founding of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) by Joseph Smith. The term "Mormon" primarily refers to followers of this faith, which includes texts considered scripture by its adherents, most notably the Book of Mormon, along with the Bible, Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price.Within the context of Christian scripture, the Bible serves as a foundational text for many Christian denominations, including Mormonism, which views the Bible as holy scripture but believes that it has been translated and transmitted through human hands, potentially leading to errors. Mormons believe that the Book of Mormon, which they regard as another testament of Jesus Christ, complements the Bible and provides additional insights and revelations. Key biblical themes such as faith, repentance, and the divinity of Jesus Christ are central to both the Bible and Mormon doctrine, although the interpretations and additional doctrines unique to Mormonism, such as the concept of ongoing revelation and the nature of God, distinguish it from traditional Christian beliefs.
