Introduction to apostasy
This page contains links to subpages that address issues surrounding the doctrine of an apostasy from the Early Church established by Jesus and the apostles.
Subtopics
- Does the Bible predict that an apostasy would occur?
- Does the Bible show evidence that a tendency to apostasy was present even while the apostles were alive?
- Do the Early Church Fathers and other post-Biblical documents shed any light on the apostasy?
- Does a belief in a complete or universal apostasy mean there are no "real Christians" outside of the LDS Church?
- Is Jesus' teaching about "the gates of hell" prevailing against "the rock" inconsistent with a belief in a universal apostasy?
- Do other Christian denominations believe that no other church on earth is complete, or is this an arrogant belief assumed only by the "Mormons"?
- Was the priesthood never actually lost from the earth, since John the Revelator, or the Three Nephites had the priesthood?
- What does the apostasy doctrine mean with respect to the relationship of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to other branches of Christianity? [needs work]
- Does belief in a "complete apostasy" imply that there were no true Christians between the Apostasy and the Restoration? [needs work]
- If there were some people who would have accepted the Gospel as taught in Mormonism, why did God allow the earthly Church to pass from the earth? [needs work]
