Most of this persecution had come from anti-polygamist Christians. This is ironic because the anti-polygamists believed in the Bible, but not polygamy, one of its

employed to emphasize his status as ‘God of gods,’ or ‘the highest God” (117). Mormons and Christians can agree on that Jesus Christ died for our sins and that Christ is the way to salvation. As written in Claiming Christ by Robert L. Millet and Gerald R. McDermott, “they agree that Jesus was Gully God and that his life and death are critical to human salvation.

Abstract The topic of my research paper is the Mormon religion. Particularly the original form of the religion as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. With this paper I will answer the following questions as to where did the religion started, who were/are the main leaders and places of worship for the religion, are there any divisions or sects that are associated with the religion, how has the religion changed over time, and what does the future hold for this religion?

Every important event in our lives should be placed in a record, by us individually" (Doctrines of Salvation, comp. Bruce R. McConkie, 3 vols. [1954–56], 2:204). For Christmas this past year, we gave each of our grown children a thought-provoking game of sorts. Each family was given a small container containing 90 folded slips of paper with questions on them, and a blank journal
