Also, Book of Mormon claims that there were other people named Jared who left Jerusalem when Babel Tower was built and God brought into existence of multiple languages. In accordance to this book, all peoples, except Rayman, were collapsed and Rayman became the ancestor of American Indians. The most important event in Book of Mormon is Jesus Christ¡¯s ministry to the Nephites after his resurrection.

This is one of way how Mormon Church tries to escape from
the heresy debates with Christianity. And, of course, it shows off its growth and big influence.ÇÏÁö¸¸ ÀÌ·± ½Ãµµ¿¡µµ ºÒ±¸ÇÏ°í (1) ¸ô¸ó±³ÀÇ ÃÖ°íÁöµµÁ¶Á÷ÀÎ Á¦ÀÏÁ¤¿øȸÀÇ È¸ÀåµéÀº ¸ô¸ó±³°¡ ±âµ¶±³¶ó°í °ø½ÄÀûÀ¸·Î ¹àÈ÷°í ÀÖÀ¸¸ç (2) ¶ÇÇÑ ¸ô¸ó±³´Â ¼º°æÀ» ±×µéÀÇ °æÀüÀ¸·Î »ç¿ëÇÏ°í ÀÖÀ¸¸ç, ±×¸®°í ¸ô¸ó°æÀº ¼º°æÀ¸·ÎºÎÅÍ ¼¿ ¼ö ¾ø´Â ÀοëÀ» ÇÏ°í ÀÖ°í (3) °ú°ÅÀÇ °è½Ã(¸ô¸ó°æ)¿Í ÇöÀçÀÇ °è½Ã(»ì¾ÆÀÖ´Â ¿¹¾ðÀÚµéÀÇ °¡¸£Ä§)¸¦ ÅëÇØ ÀڽŵéÀÌ ±âµ¶±³¶ó°í ¹àÈ÷°í ÀÖÀ¸¸ç (4) ÇÏÁö¸¸ ±âµ¶±³¿Í´Â ´Ù¸¥ ±³¸®¸¦ ½Å¾ÓÇÏ°í ½ÇõÇÏ°í Æ÷±³ÇÏ´Â ÇÑ ¸ô¸ó±³´Â ±âµ¶±³ ÀÌ´ÜÀ¸·Î ±ÔÁ¤µÉ ¼ö¹Û¿¡ ¾ø´Ù.Despite of such trials, Mormon Church insists followings: (1) All of church leading groups, including the First Presidency, officially claim that Mormon Church is Christianity. (2) Mormon Church uses Holy Bible as its scripture, but also Book of Mormon which has many quotes from Holy Bible; and (3) Mormon Church claims that it is a Christianity based on the Book of Mormon (revelation from the past) and instructions from Living Prophets (revelation from the present). (4) However, Mormon Church¡¯s doctrines are significantly different from traditional churches¡¯.

In Korea, it is sad, but ethical heresy is preferred to unethical traditional churches. During traditional churches judge heresy churches, traditional churches who caused serious social problems fail to be light and salt in the society. And such failure has made serious criticism against traditional churches and Christianity. However, such failure cannot justify and allow heresies and their doctrines. Mormon Church shall be categorized as a heresy, if it calls itself as only and sole church of Jesus Christ.- ÀúÀÛ±ÇÀÚ (C) ¿ù°£ Çö´ëÁ¾±³(hdjongkyo.co.kr), ¿µ¸® ¸ñÀûÀÇ ¹«´Ü ÀüÀç ¹× Àç¹èÆ÷ ±ÝÁö -
