Final Blog: Religions in 19th Century America By: Guillermo Fonseca


Latter Day Saint Movement or Mormonism 1830


The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, also known as  Mormonism, was founded on April 6, 1830 on the believe that Jesus Christ was the savior of the world and by dying for our sins he has brought to us the possibility of salvation through his teachings and atonement. With over 15 million members worldwide and headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, Mormons believe that there are three levels of heaven Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial and that those in the Celestial level will be the ones who will spend eternal life with in the presence of the Lord. Joseph is said to have been visited by God the Father, Jesus Christ and as much as 20 other celestial beings which paved the road for the translation of the Golden Plates into the Book of Mormon.


International Bible Students Association (Jehovah Witness) 1870 
Jehovah's Witnesses in news again at their North Side birthplace
The international Bible Student Association emerged from the teachings of Charles T. Russell in Pittsburgh PA in 1870, after William Miller's false prophecy of the second coming of Jesus Christ in 1843-1844. Charles refused to believe in the existence of hell knowing that God is all merciful. With non-Trinitarian believes, Jehovah's witness denied Jesus Christ divinity, believing he was a prophet but not God himself, Jehovah or Yahweh is God, and believe that heaven is a court with Jesus Christ as the head and the court is made of 144,000 spirit anointed individuals, these individuals are the Jehovah's Witnesses.

  1. "...Mormonism, was founded on April 6, 1830 on the believe that Jesus Christ was the savior of the world and by dying for our sins he has brought to us the possibility of salvation through his teachings and atonement." There's a bit more to it than that. See Fantasyland.
