List Of Films Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints
This list of films of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) includes the non-commercial motion pictures commissioned by or officially produced by the church. Such films were originally used in the homes or worship services of church members, or in visitors' centers on Temple Square or near one of the church's temples.

Released on VHS (and increasingly on DVD), they became popular home entertainment. A wide vari ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Motion Picture

Plan Of Salvation
The plan of salvation is a Christian concept regarding God's plan to save humanity from sin and its consequences. It occurs first in the New Testament, for example in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Mark, although some scholars consider the idea fully developed first in the Gospel of Luke. According to some writers, this plan of salvation is equivalent to the idea of a divine economy in history. This idea is developed by Ignatius, Augustine and Johann Albrecht Bengel.Klaus Vondung Klaus Vondung (born 16 July 1941) is a German scholar on the fields of cultural and German studies.

First Vision
The First Vision (also called the grove experience by members of the Community of Christ) refers to a theophany which Latter Day Saints believe Joseph Smith experienced in the early 1820s, in a wooded area in Manchester, New York, called the Sacred Grove. Smith described it as a Vision (spirituality), vision in which he received instruction from God the Father and Jesus Christ. According to the account Smith told in 1838, he went to the woods to pray about which church to join but fell into the grip of an evil power that nearly overcame him. At the last moment, he was rescued by two shining "Personages" (implied to be God the Father and Jesus) who hovered above him. One of the beings told Smith not to join any of the existing churches because they all taught incorrect doctrines. Smith wrote several accounts of the vision between 1832 and 1842, two of which were published in his lifetime. Consistency of the accounts is a subject of debate, whether variations are indicators of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
