bu11fr0g Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Did Joseph Smith or any latter day prophets intriduce any doctrine that Jesus Christ had not introduced during His ministry?
Rivers Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 There is a ton of mormon beliefs that we don't find taught in the four gospels. But we don't have a complete record of everything that Jesus said or did. 1
teddyaware Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Did Joseph Smith or any latter day prophets intriduce any doctrine that Jesus Christ had not introduced during His ministry?The following from the Book of Mormon would seem to indicate it's unlikely:"1 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had told these things he expounded them unto the multitude; and he did expound all things unto them, both great and small. 2 And he saith: These scriptures, which ye had not with you, the Father commanded that I should give unto you; for it was wisdom in him that they should be given unto future generations.3 And he did expound all things, even from the beginning until the time that he should come in his glory—yea, even all things which should come upon the face of the earth, even until the elements should melt with fervent heat, and the earth should be wrapt together as a scroll, and the heavens and the earth should pass away;"

cinepro Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Oh to have been a fly on the wall,with a good recording device.He was probably telling them stuff like how disease is caused by tiny particles called "germs" so it's important to boil water and wash hands, they should never tolerate slavery in any form, be kind to those of other races and religions, and something about the world being round, with huge landmasses far away with civilizations rising and falling and soon to also get the gospel.And do your home teaching. 2

ERayR Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Did Joseph Smith or any latter day prophets intriduce any doctrine that Jesus Christ had not introduced during His ministry?Don't know. We don't have a record of all that Jesus taught and to whom it was taught.
KevinG Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I'm guessing that the admonition to keep family computers in a public room is a relatively new teaching. Any counsel to drive automobiles safely and courteously after conference would also be recent on the Biblical timeline.

KevinG Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 What about the warning of misuse of the abacus and the drive your chariot safely as you leave conference warnings.Sorry but the conference transcriptions on lds.org don't go back to previous dispensations. I missed that one.
cinepro Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) I'm guessing that the admonition to keep family computers in a public room is a relatively new teaching. Any counsel to drive automobiles safely and courteously after conference would also be recent on the Biblical timeline.To be fair, ancient families were told to keep their Egyptian parchments with the fertility goddesses in the common area of the dwelling, and more recent families were encouraged to keep their Sears and Roebucks catalogs in the parlors.Cart drivers were also asked to drive slowly to keep dust to a minimum.

Lightbearer Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Did Joseph Smith or any latter day prophets intriduce any doctrine that Jesus Christ had not introduced during His ministry?No actually all that Joseph and the latter-day prophets have taught came from revelation from Jesus Christ, so actually your question is not really relevant. Whether He taught it in the meridian of time or not is hard to say, we do not have a complete record of HIs teachings. In fact John said this: "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen." (New Testament | John 21:25) In fact the Lord Himself said that there would be many things revealed in the last days that never had been revealed:"For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have." (New Testament | Luke 8:17-18)
telnetd Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Did Joseph Smith or any latter day prophets intriduce any doctrine that Jesus Christ had not introduced during His ministry?Some examples would be polygamy, celestial marriage, the word ofwisdom, proxy baptism, using water instead of wine in the sacrament,that Christians should build majestic temples, and the idea that welived as eternal spirits of heavenly parents before coming to earth.These are the key ones that come to mind.Gail
