What is Mormonism?

Mormonism refers to several movements of Latter-day Saints with similar religious beliefs, thoughts and cultures, the largest of which is church of jesus christ of latter-day saints. Mormonism is also often used to describe this belief system that believes in the Book of Mormon. Mormons believe that the Book of Mormon was translated from a set of golden pages by American Smith Yue Se Jr. in 1829. They believe that this page is a sacred record written by the residents of the American continent from about 2000 BC to 420 AD. 1830, Smith Yue Se translated and published the Book of Mormon, which revived the "Christian Church", while believers called themselves "Latter-day Saints". Outside the church, church members are called "Mormons" because they believe in both the Book of Mormon and the Bible. 1838, Smith Yue Se declared that he was inspired by God and named the church church of jesus christ of latter-day saints. After Smith Yue Se's death, the succession crisis in the church led to the division of the church, which resulted in several sects of Latter-day Saints and divided up the members of the original church. One of the largest groups accepted Brigham Young as the new president and prophet, led the believers westward to Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, and continued to use the name of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But at that time, quite a few believers were unwilling to accept Brigham Young's leadership and stayed in the Midwest of the United States. Community of christ, formerly the reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is the largest sect of the Latter-day Saints Movement, with Smith Yue Se as its founder, but does not accept the leadership of Brigham Young. Today, church of jesus christ of latter-day saints is still the largest Mormon Sect in the latter-day Saints Movement.
