Yesterday, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints changed the names of its major websites to reflect President Nelson's emphasis from his conference address a year ago.
LDS.org, the church's main page, has now changed to ChurchofJesusChrist.org,
LDS.org, the church's main page, has now changed to ChurchofJesusChrist.org,
But why has it taken so long to change the website? It has been almost a year. And why did the Church decide not including the word 'The' in the new URL? In fact, if you type in the new domain name https://www.ChurchofJesusChrist.org, it will still point to the LDS.org home page. The press release said that it will take a few months to fully replace LDS.org. I hope they get this solved because we don't want to give Satan any more victories.
As far as the new website, if I were to conduct a survey, which one would you choose?
I think the top one is ALOT better. So why go with the bottom one?
Well maybe because there already exists a Church called The Church of Jesus Christ and they already own the website... And maybe it has taken so long to change because the Church has been trying to buy/negotiate with the already existing website TheChurchofJesusChrist.org .... but it failed.
Below is a screenshot of website for TheChurchofJesusChrist.org. I can't help but think this might be a problem for the Church because this Church is so much like the LDS Church. In fact, The Church of Jesus Christ also believes in the Book of Mormon, baptism by immersion, laying on of hand for the Holy Ghost, .. in fact almost everything the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes.
Here is the complete list of their Articles of Faith.
·
We believe in God: the Father, Jesus Christ-His Son, and the
Holy Spirit.
·
We believe The Church as established by Jesus Christ has
ordained officers consistent with the scriptures, that the believers possess
the signs promised to them, and that this Church/Kingdom will remain upon the
earth until the end of time.
·
We believe the Bible and the Book of Mormon to be Holy
Scriptures telling of God’s relationship with the human family. These two
scriptures jointly convey God’s dealings and plan for mankind.
·
We believe that divine inspiration is an indispensable
qualification for the preaching of the Gospel.
·
We believe that The Church of Jesus Christ is patterned exactly
as is represented in the scriptures including the following ordinances and
practices:
§ Baptism by
immersion
§ Laying on of
hands for the reception of the Holy Ghost
§ Lord’s Supper
§ Feet washing
§ Anointing the
sick with oil and praying over them
§ Ordaining all
spiritual Church Officers
§ Blessing of
children
·
We believe obedience to the Gospel is necessary to obtain
salvation by taking the following actions:
§ Believe and have
faith that Jesus Christ is the risen Savior of the world
§ Repent of your
sins with a desire to sin no more
§ Be baptized by
immersion in water for a remission of sins
§ Receive the Holy
Ghost by the laying on of hands
§ Live righteously,
remain faithful, and endure to the end of your life
·
We believe that the Lord God continues to reveal His will
through the power of the Holy Ghost.
·
We believe that the resurrection of Jesus Christ established
resurrection for all mankind.
·
We believe that marriage between a man and a woman is a holy institution.
·
We believe that many pure and precious tenets of Christ were
eventually changed in the early centuries of The Church of Jesus Christ, and
that God restored the Gospel of Christ in its fullness.
·
We believe that God has promised many blessings to all who love
and serve Him, and that He will remember His covenants to the House of Israel.
·
We believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ to occur at the
end of the world – with the First Resurrection - and that He will wed His
Bride, The Church, and gather unto Himself all the righteous
Sidenote:
I am wondering if the only difference is the requirement for their members to stand when their leaders walk into a room.
