The Mormon Celebration of Easter, very different than the one Biblical Christians celebrate

April 18, 2012 by untilfulllight

Resurrection of Jesus, full pageThe Mormon Church celebrates the resurrection and therefore Easter, but their celebration of it has a totally different meaning to them than it does to Biblical Christians. They can say they believe in Jesus and the resurrection and that he died for people and rose, but they put totally different meanings into all these terms.

In reality, the Mormon Church believes that the resurrection of Jesus assures everyone will have eternal life. They believe Christ’s atonement erased the consequences of original sin for everyone. However, it is only through the Mormon Church that people can travel the path of exaltation and where men can someday become gods of their own world.

The lessons that follow show the Mormon views of the Atonement and of the Resurrection of Jesus. Thought the same words are used and though both affirm these events happened, the meaning put into the words and events is very different as the lessons that follow explain.

Importance of the distinctions

These distinctions are not minor disagreements about theological issues, but they define the meaning of the death of Jesus and the reality of eternal life for those who trust the real Jesus or eternal disappointment for those who trust a false Jesus and a false interpretation of his death.

An Easter study in CONTRASTS: What the Fall means to Mormons and to Christians

March 20, 2012 by untilfulllight

Easter is coming and Christians recognize this as the central event of their faith. It is also a key area where, though the same words are used, Mormons and Biblical Christians mean two very different things. This week we started on our study of it when  we talked about the Mormon view of original sin and the Fall vs. the Christian view. The handouts and the full-size slides are below. Just click on either image to download them.

From the path

"The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day." Prov.4:11

We won't see things clearly until we see our Lord, but on the path to that full light, we have the Bible as our light and guide. For much of my life I've tried to study, share, and teach the Bible. This blog pulls together many of those attempts, not as a final answer to any of the topics, but perhaps as a first gleam of dawn to help others on their journey.
