Mormonism and Nicene Christianity

**UbuMomoni nobuNicaene ubuKrestu** (obuvame ukubizwa ngokuthi ubuKhristu obujwayelekile) bunobudlelwano obuyinkimbinkimbi bezenkolo, bomlando nobudlelwano bezenhlalo.AmaMormon baveze izimfundiso zabo esebenzisa indinganiso amagama waseBhayibhelini futhi banemibono efanayo mayelana nohlobo uJesu Kristu ka- isihlawulelo, uvuko komzimba, futhi Coming Okwesibili njengoba bendabuko ubuKristu.Yize kunjalo, iningi lamaMormon aliyemukeli imfundiso kaZiqu -zintathu yobuNicaea ubuKristu, ehlanganiswe ku- Nicene and Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creeds of 325 and 381.Nakuba amaMormon cabanga iBhayibheli amaProthestani njengoba umbhalo, bengakholelwa e inerrancy waseBhayibhelini.Babuye futhi bamukela imibhalo eyengeziwe eBhayibhelini abakholelwa ukuthi yembulwe ngokwaphezulu nguJoseph Smith, kubandakanya *neNcwadi kaMormoni*,    *iMfundiso neziVumelwano*,  *neParele Lenani Elikhulu* .  AmaMormon enza ukubhaphathizwa futhi agubha isakramente, kepha futhi abamba iqhaza kweminye imikhuba yenkolo. AmaMormon azibiza ngamaKristu.

## Ukuqhathanisa okokufundisa

### Isikhathi sokuqala sikaJoseph Smith
I-Mormonism yavela ngawo-1820s ngesikhathi sokuguqulwa okukhulu kanye nokuhlolwa ngaphakathi kwamaProthestani aseMelika, futhi iMormonism ixhunyaniswe ngokuqinile kuleyo ndawo yenkolo . Njengendlela yobuKristu yokuqala, inkolo entsha yayingenye yezinhlangano eziningi zenkolo ezithi zazibuyisela ubuKrestu esimeni sazo ngesikhathi sabaPhostoli Abayi-12 .  

#### Incwadi kaMormoni

I- Book of Mormon (1830), ehlanganisa imfundiso yokuqala yamaMormon, yayihloselwe, ngokwengxenye, ukuxazulula izingxabano eziqhubekayo zemfundiso phakathi kwamahlelo obuKhristu nokwakha imfundiso eyodwa ehlanganyelwe.UJoseph Smith wayekholelwa eBhayibhelini futhi wabelana ngesiko lamaProthestani lokuthi iBhayibheli (ngaphandle kwe- Apocrypha ) ekuqaleni lembulwa uNkulunkulu esintwini futhi lalinokuqukethwe "kwevangeli". Yize kunjalo, uSmith wayekholelwa ukuthi iBhayibheli lesikhathi sakhe lalivele lisusele esimweni salo sokuqala.USmith usole iSonto LamaKhatholika ngokulahleka kwezincwadi zebhayibheli nangokwethula ukonakala kanye nokuphazamiseka embhalweni weBhayibheli.USmith uthe iNcwadi kaMormoni iveze "izinto ezicacile neziyigugu ezazithathiwe" eBhayibhelini.USmith uphinde waqeda ukubuyekeza okungashicilelwe kweBhayibheli ngo-1833, athe kulungisa amaningi ala maphutha,futhi wanezela ukuhlaziya okugqugquzelwe.USmith unikeze iNcwadi kaMormoni isikhundla esilingana neBhayibheli. 

#### Isimo sikaNkulunkulu
Ukubukwa kohlobo lukaNkulunkulu ekuqaleni kweMormonism kube yindaba yokuphikisana.UThomas G. Alexander uthi imfundiso yenkolo yokuqala yamaMormon "empeleni yayinguZiqu-zintathu", Isitatimende esikwiLectures on Faith sisetshenziselwa ukuvikela le nkolelo:Kunabantu ababili abakha amandla amakhulu, angenakuqhathaniswa, aphetheyo, futhi aphakeme ngaphezu kwazo zonke izinto, okwenziwa ngazo zonke izinto futhi zenziwa ngaye, ezidaliwe zenziwa.BanguYise neNdodana-uBaba ongumuntu womoya, inkazimulo, namandla aphethe konke ukuphelela nokugcwala, iNdodana, eyayisesifubeni sikaYise, umuntu wetabernakele. URobert L. Millet uphakamisa ukuthi uSmith wayengeke ambulelwe imvelo kaNkulunkulu lapho enikeza inkulumo:Kungenzeka ukuthi uJoseph Smith wamane nje akazange aqonde isimo senyama noma somzimba kaNkulunkulu ngesikhathi kuhanjiswa Izinkulumo Zokholo.Ulwazi lwakhe lwezinto ezinjengalezo zabo bonke abesilisa nabesifazane-lwaluvame ukukhuphuka, futhi ukukhula kwakhe ekuqondeni ngakho-ke kwaba yintuthuko "emgqeni owodwa".Njengomphumela woMbono Wokuqala, umfana ongumprofethi wayazi ukuthi amazulu awasavaliwe; lowo sathane wayengaphezu kwenganekwane noma isingathekiso; nokuthi uBaba neNdodana babengabantu abahlukene nabahlukile. UMillet uphinde wathi isitatimende sikaTruman Coe ngo-1836 siqinisa umqondo wokuthi imfundiso yokuqala yamaMormon yayihlukile kubuProthestani obuvamile bosuku:Bona (amaMormon) bakholelwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu weqiniso ungumuntu obonakalayo, owenziwe ngomzimba nezitho; nokuthi ngenkathi uMdali enza u-Adamu ngomfanekiso wakhe, wamenza walingana nobukhulu bukaNkulunkulu uqobo. UKurt Widmer uthe "amaMormon okuqala ayephambana nomqondo kaZiqu-zintathu onobuhlakani futhi onolwazi ngoNkulunkulu" futhi ubunjalo bukaNkulunkulu ekuqaleni babungeyona into ebaluleke kakhulu kuSmith. 

#### Amanye amaphuzu emfundiso
I-Early Mormon soteriology, yize yayingalandeli isiko elalikhona, imvamisa yayiyi- Arminian.I-Early Mormonism yavumelana namaWeseli nabaFundi bakaKrestu ekwenqabeni izimfundiso zikaCalvin ngokuthanda ukuphelela kobuKristu nenkululeko yokuzikhethela (ebizwa ngenkululeko yokuzikhethela ).Futhi, ngenkathi iNcwadi kaMormoni iqinisekisa imfundiso yesono sokuqala,ibuye ivumelane namanye amahlelo ase-Arminian ukuthi izingane azikwazi ukwenza isono futhi zisesimweni somusa.
