History of Mormonism Midterm 1

Calvinism

TULIP. Total deprevity (humans suck we all should go to hell) Unconditional election (some people will be saved but it is not based on our deeds) Limited atonement (Jesus will save some of us) Irresistible grace (you can’t say no to being saved) Pereserverence of the saints( the chosen probs do good because it may be a sign if being saved)

Second Great Awakening

The way people thought about GOD really changed, the baptist church crippled, Methodists flourished. Free will was more important, there was more thought placed behind religion and what/why people believed what they did

Evangelicalism

Biblicism there was a sole authority, saving power of Christ, born again (in christ), actively spread the gospel.. there was a lot more responsibility on the individual. focus on the ordinary peeps

Universalism

God will save everyone no matter what. It was one of the three bases of christianity that were around at the time. Gods love is so powerful that he wouldn’t let us suffer, just help us get to heaven

Similar to how we see atonment, everyone has a chance.. its not a given though

Folk Magic

Everything was believed to have a soul. Nothing happened by coincidence.. There is white and black magic.. there wasn’t always a distinction between religion and magic.. also treasure seeking, Smith family believed in

Seer Stones

Stones that helped people find things, whether it be treasure, water ect. it also was used to translate the BoM

Emma Smith

JSJ wife, she was emma hale, left her family to marry jsj and follow the church, eventually helped spirr the rlds church did not get along with BY.. president of rs

Book of Mormon

Book of scripture used as LDS scripture, gold plates, hill cumora.. base of new religion, widely hated, 3,8, jsj testimony. anti war in atime where war was popular

Doctrine & Covenants

Modern day revelation. Holds history and revelation recieved in the 1800s and is much more reliveant to the people of now…

Book of Abraham

Found papyrus that jsj translated or used as a conduit to recived revelation about abrahams journal.. found recently

Gathering

The goal of the church was to gather isreal. group of people, they contunually moved and wanted to gather zion, or Gods people

Mob Manifesto

Document put out in 1833 stating why the church was hated, and why the Mormons should leave jacson county.. lead to sidney rigdons adress then the misssouri mormon war

Kirtland Temple

Kirtland temple was the first temple built and deticated, acts more like a church building RLDS now own. Took alot of time and money to build

Kirtland Safety Society

This was JSJ bank for the saints, it did not last long, or do well but it was what they had.. IT failed in part becasue you shouldnt trust jsj with your money cuz ahah it doesn’t work like that

Mormon/Missouri War

war that was shortlived between the saints and the other people in missouri at the time.. mab manefesto and sidneyrigdons adress show breifly why it happened.. the saints couldnt choose a side and it made the people in missouri ticked so-1838

Sidney Rigdon

Very important to the development of the church. He was a ministor before he was baptised. He was a councilor in the first oresidency and was presnet for the vison of the three degrees of glory…almost excommunicated by jsj then he tried to take over the church and the 12 excommunicated him. Then rigdon tried and failed to form his own church

Extermination Order

order in missouri that said that mormons suck and if they don’t leave feel free to kill them with no conciquences.. the saints very quiclkly moved which was crazy. there were mixed feelings in the state though

Hawn’s Mill

The saints used Hawns mill as a place to rest, some people attack them.. thye were dragged out 17 people killed 12-15 injured … this was after the moromon extermination order so was fair game

Relief society

womens organization formed in the church so that the women had a role, their goal was to bless the people around them and help run the church. emma smith was president and at first membership was more exclusive than what it is now due to the fact of representation of the church

Baptisms for the dead

new ordanance that was able to be preformed in the nauvoo temple, seen as very odd thing to do, also new things added to the church that made it stand out

Endownment

another ordances that was added to the church. initally preformed not in the temple it became a temple ordanance.. first limited who could get it, now anyone worthy can in the temple.. very sacred ordanace

Nauvoo Expositor

A news paper that was formed by dissenters of the church.. thye voiced their feelings about certain prctices of the church and published it. only one issue was ever published beucase JSJ ordered it to be cut off

James Strang

one random dude that tried to take over the church, claimed jsj appointed him.. ordained by angel and translated meta plates… tried to be jsj but isnt… formed strangite clan

Joseph Smith III

jsj son was young when his dad died.. was going to take over when he was old enough but there was huge fights between him and his mother and brigham young.. formed rlds
