Apostasy and Restoration
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whose members are often called Mormons, is based on the understanding that after the death of the Savior and His apostles, doctrine began to be confused and altered. This is evident in the fact that there are many different churches and all teach contradictory doctrine, even among those who categorize themselves in similar ways.
However, the end of time on earth is coming, and God, who loves us and wants us to return home, won’t leave us to struggle through the Last Days on our own, without guidance. The world has changed so much since Biblical days, and Satan has so many new tools. He knows the world needs prophets to guide us through the end times, as we needed them to get through the beginning times. And so God has restored His full gospel to the earth and returned prophecy to us, so we can have a safe guide through these complicated final days. In this section, you can learn about issues related to the early days of God’s kingdom, the apostasy, and the restoration of the gospel.
