The “restoration” is the restoration of the fulness of the gospel and church of Jesus Christ in this, the last dispensation of time before His Second Coming. God’s kingdom on earth must be built up to receive Him and to usher in His millennial reign.
The History of Christianity
The Church of Jesus Christ has always existed. It has counterparts in heaven and on earth. Eventually, the two will be combined during the millennial rule of Jesus Christ. The Church of Jesus Christ on earth did not begin with Christ’s ministry on earth nor with His apostles. It began with Adam and Eve, who were taught the gospel by the Savior Himself. All prophets since then have fully understood the mission of Christ as the Messiah, and they have taught them to their followers. That more is not available in the Bible regarding this shows that information has been taken from the biblical record.

The real name of the “Mormon Church” is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Friends of other faiths have attributed the nickname “Mormon Church,” because of the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ, a companion book of scripture to the Bible.
Even though the LDS Church was formally organized in 1830, it is not exactly a new church nor is it a protestant religion. The original apostles of Jesus Christ were given His authority and power to minister, lead, and perform miracles. They received revelation from above to guide them in spreading the gospel and in teaching truth. After the death of the apostles, however, miracles ceased, and pagan traditions and Greek philosophy were mingled with scripture in Christian orthodoxy. Many abuses crept in, and eventually, reformers attempted to reclaim the aspects of Christ’s original church and gospel that had been lost or changed. During the Reformation...

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormon Church, has been in the news often lately. Firstly, there are two Mormon candidates running for President of the United States. Secondly, there are many cultural offerings that feature Mormonism. Thirdly, the Church has been at the forefront of opposing gay marriage.
Marriage and family life are central to the doctrines of the Mormon Church, in fact, Mormonism is all about the traditional family. Mormonism teaches that all people are eternal beings. We existed first as “intelligences,” and as such were never created. God is the literal Father of our spirits, which created spiritual bodies for our intelligences, and which dwelled with Him in a spiritual realm that pre-existed the creation of this earth. As such, we are literally children of God (and we are all, spiritually, brothers and sisters). The next step of our existence is mortal life here on earth, a temporary...

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints follow a health law given by revelation. The health law is called the Word of Wisdom, and it disallows the use of alcohol, coffee, tea, and tobacco, and encourages healthy eating. (Read the revelation.) Mormons also live the Law of Chastity, reserving sex for marriage. Some people outside the Church see these laws as so restrictive that they assume Mormons are depressed, somber, and unable to have fun. The opposite is true. Mormons have more fun; they don’t have to worry about the consequences that come with the use of harmful substances or a promiscuous lifestyle.
How Mormons have Fun
People often question how Latter-day Saints (often called Mormons) have fun, when they do not drink alcohol, go in bars, do not have sex before marriage, do not smoke, go home late and a lot more. They see these restrictions as a limitation to happiness in life. However, it is nice... Read the rest of this article »
