What is the difference between Mormonism and Christianity?
The following are the most important differences:

First, the scriptures are different-many Christians say that the Bible is a scripture given to us by God. The latter-day saints say there are many scriptures, including Mormon, doctrines and covenants, priceless pearls and so on. In fact, the Bible mentions some scriptures outside the Bible, and John said in Revelation that there will be prophets in the future (and there will be scriptures).

Second, the names of religions are different-Protestantism refers to Christianity in China, Catholicism refers to Catholicism, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints refers to Mormonism. The Catholic Church is the direct continuation and successor of the primitive Christian Church, also known as the Roman Catholic Church, and is a universal archdiocese.

Third, different beliefs-Protestantism: all sects advocate that people can be saved by righteousness without doing good deeds. Mormonism: Mormonism believes that salvation can only be achieved by turning to Jesus Christ and through the redemption ceremony of Mormonism.

Christianity:

The word "Christianity" is confused when used in Chinese mainland academic circles, and it can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. Christianity in a broad sense refers to all sects that believe in Jesus Christ as their savior, including Roman Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, Protestantism and other small sects, which means Christianity in English. Christianity in a narrow sense refers to Protestantism.

Mormonism:

It does not belong to any branch of the Christian Sect movement, but its belief content is different from that of Christianity, and the informal name Mormonism is commonly used by the people. Its English abbreviation is commonly used LDS (abbreviation of latter-day saints).

This church is the largest and most famous sect in the movement of Latter-day Saints, and the only one recognized by its founder, jose simy, who believes that its church is the revival of primitive Christian beliefs.
