Hi Samkutty. Thanks for your interest my our church. Being a member of this church has brought me a lot of peace. I naturally get excited when others say they want to learn more! Let me provide you with a little background:
"Mormonism" is a beautiful Christian religion. We obviously believe in many of the same things other Christians believe, including:
Christ is divine and salvation comes only through Him.
The Bible is the word of God.
People should love one another.
Mormons do belong to a unique branch of Christianity, though. Were not Catholics or Protestants, so naturally we have a few beliefs that are unique. Most of these differences are small.
The story of Joseph Smith
One significant difference relates to the authority to act in God's name. Mormons believe that shortly after the death of Christ and His apostles, the early Christian church was heavily influenced by Greek and Roman philosophies and politics. Despite the efforts of many noble men and women, the true Church of Christ was lost because of these external influences and internal changes realized by the hands of men. Mormons believe that God restored the original Christian Church, together with the authority to act in His name, in 1820 through a man named Joseph Smith.
To learn more about our beliefs, I suggest you chat with the Mormon missionaries. There are over 85,000 missionaries in the world who visit people in their homes to teach them more about Jesus Christ. Most people who are interested in Mormonism learn about our basic beliefs from these missionaries.
