Different names for the Church in scripture highlight various aspects of its nature and mission. Terms like "Body of Christ" emphasize the unity and connection of believers, while "Bride of Christ" illustrates the intimate relationship between Christ and the Church. Other names, such as "Temple of the Holy Spirit," reflect its role as a dwelling place for God's presence. Together, these names enrich the understanding of the Church's identity and purpose in the Christian faith.

What do Mormons believe are Scriptures in the bible is certain parts of the Holy Bible?

Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) use the Old and New Testaments of the King James Version of the Bible as scripture. The Apocryphal books are occassionally quoted by Church leaders but not cannonized as scripture by the Church. Church members are advised to read them only by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, because some of what is written in the Apocryphal books is true and some is not. The Church also uses the Book of Mormon as scripture. It is considered an additional testament of Jesus Christ and used side-by-side with the Bible. The Doctrine and Covenants is cannonized as a volume scripture as well. It is a collection of revelations to early Church leaders regarding how the Church should operate. The final book cannonized as scripture by the Church is the Pearl of Great Price. It contains the Books of Moses and Abraham, which are accounts of the creation story that add more detail to the Biblical book of Genesis. It also contains Joseph Smith's re-translation of Matthew 24 and his personal history. You can read all the books used by Mormons as scripture at the "Related Links" below.


What makes a church a church?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe word "church" is used in several different ways. Primarily it is used to refer to the community of believers, the kingdom of God, and the Mystical Body of Christ. These are the primary senses of the word from Sacred Scripture. In these senses, it is Our Blessed Lord, Jesus, who "makes" the Church which is composed of all those who believe in Him. As the Mystical Body of Christ it is the communion of all those made holy by the grace of Christ.

Is the Church liberalist or literalist?

Roman Catholic AnswerI should think neither. Liberalist used refers to a political bent, and the Church has none. Literalist would usually refer to a reading of Sacred Scripture that only accepts the literal meaning. The Church definitely accepts the literal meaning, but it also accepts the spiritual, allegorical, moral, and anagogical senses of Sacred Scripture.


Can you study the bible without other books support?

Of course! The church has a principle that often gets shunted off to the sidelines, but which is still relevant and appropriate: Let scripture interpret scripture. Other books can be used legitimately when they provide a focal point to get started in your Bible study. They can also give suggested places to go in your study to see the different nuances and perspectives that the Bible provides on different subjects.

Why do many persons today still think that naming God differently changes Him?

Do they? I'm not sure people do think that by naming God differently it changes him. God has many names - from Jehovah (jah We - I am who I am) as given to Moses to names given to Jesus (Jesus, The Christ, Emmanuel) and even the names given to the Holy Spirit (ruach, wind of God etc). It is important that God revealed these names to us throughout scripture and throughout history so that we might understand a little more about God - e.g. God is love, God is judge, the Good Shepherd, Abba Father and so on. None of these names actually changes God, and I do not know any fellow Christians who actually think that they do. We are told in scripture that God is consistent and unchanging, but names used for God, as evealed through scripture, tell us more about different aspects of his character as we learn more about him.
