AboutMichael Kelley Expertise For a different viewpoint on Mormonism for your questions, try me. I am a staunch believer in the Book of Mormon and belong to another church (the Church of Christ)that is set up identically to the Biblical church. If there are things about traditional Mormonism that trouble you or you have questions about, just ask and you might find the answers from the Book of Mormon to be quite surprising. I have been studying the scriptures diligently for 16 years under the school of hard knocks... I may not have all of the answers but will sure go find them if I don`t. I`m strongest on Biblical and Book of Mormon doctrines, and am also somewhat familiar with Mormon history and archaeology.
There are many mormon Church of Christ. Is this the Birckonite one that accepts only the Book of Mormon? Do you have a Web site you could give for your church?
Thanks,
Redfox
Answer Hi Redfox,
I will be happy to answer your questions. Please note I am ex-LDS and belong to the original Church of Christ that believes in the Bible and Book of Mormon.
Yes, I belong to the Church of Christ that believes in the Book of Mormon (as well as Bible). We are sometimes called the Hedrickites or Temple Lot Church of Christ though I prefer the simple "Church of Christ" title. The Bickertonite faction is called the "Church of Jesus Christ" and is somewhat similar to us. Another large faction used to be called "The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" but recently changed their title to Community of Christ and no longer uses the Book of Mormon. There are some 100 Restoration (Book of Mormon) factions that split off from the original Church of Christ. The Utah LDS faction is of course by far the largest, and in many ways the most departed from the Bible and Book of Mormon teachings.
