***A very influential individual in the Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement and helped out significantly in the creation of the CoC was Sidney Rigdon, who became estranged from Campbell fils, and then moved over to the Mormons and, it is suspected, contributed more to the theology of the LDS than did Joseph Smith.****

I’m glad you brought that up. There was a Mormon woman near here who claimed the Campbellites were offshoots of the Mormons.

Chuckle.

It’s like the folks that think that the Catholics added to the Bible.

The Mormons were definitely offshoots of the Restoration Movement, which owed tremendously to the Campbells father and son, and Barton Stone. Supporting them was a dozen or so individuals including Rigdon.

Compare the beliefs of the Mormons and the Church of Christ.

Mormons

-Joseph Smith, a latter day saint.
-Multiple wives for one man

Church of Christ

-Only the 12 apostles
-Joseph Smith, not a saint
-Marriage to one husband or wife.

Looks like you are attempting to smear the Church of Christ - why the necessity to do that? We simply believe in the Bible teachings, why do you find that needing to be demeaned .

Why the need to tear down the Church of Christ? Does your church tell you to destroy the reputation of simple bible believing people?
