Judaism CaseJudaismMetaphysical Beliefs: Judaism has no dogma (code of belief), and metaphysical beliefs are not set. The idea of a single deity as the creator of the universe with spiritual, omnipotent and eternal characteristics are simply taken as given, and is proclaimed in Jewish literature and prayer.
Spiritual Leaders: A rabbi is simply a teacher; a person sufficiently educated in (Jewish law) and instructs the community, and resolves disputes regarding the Jewish Law.
A chazzan (cantor) is the person who leads the worshippers in prayer. Any person with good moral character and thorough knowledge of the prayers and melodies can lead the services in many synagogues.
A gabbai is an amateur who volunteers to perform various duties in connection with Torah readings at religious services. Serving as a gabbai is a great honor, and the role is bestowed to a person who has thoroughly versed in the Torah and the Torah readings.
Sacred Text: The Torah is a sacred text Jewish follow in the religion of Judaism. The Torah has many parables, contains rules (such as the Ten Commandments) that show how Jews should live their life, and gives an insight what God is like. The word Torah means “teaching” and composed of Five Books of Moses, which are considered sacred. These five books are Genesis (deals with the creation of the world and settlement of the Hebrew people in Egypt). Exodus (tells the struggle to leave Egypt, on the way the Hebrew receive the Ten Commandments). Leviticus (deals with priestly matters, such as ethical teachings), Numbers (continuation of peoples (tribes) journey through the wilderness), and Deuteronomy (consist of speeches of Moses backtracking the journey and people entering the Promise Land aka Israel).
Mormons: The LDS Church had an ancient idea: the world was an infinite, endless, open space, or at least finite. In fact, it seems to offer a “God-given” worldview that is based on the creation theory of religion. In fact, the LDS Church had a great deal of the beliefs of Christianity at the time, some of which were still supported today. Mormons have many philosophies, philosophies that are in touch with human values, and some that are not. This is why Mormon leaders, like LDS Apostle Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, think that God created all the world’s religions and is the cause. However, the LDS Church is not a monolithic group. There are a number of leaders, including more than 25 from different faiths. It does not mean that we should all be opposed to the belief or actions of certain individuals, just that they should not be accepted.
To add on the LDS idea of the God-given world. In other words, the LDS Church has an idea that the human needs, desires, and choices of every human are finite and, thus, ultimately infinite. For example, consider this fact. On the day after the flood, the first person on the street named Henry, who was being chased due to a car accident on Long Road, came upon the body of his wife. Henry was wearing a robe and a helmet, though he knew the body was filled with water and salt, but instead of crying he started crying “Eternally, God Created, for ever, for ever.”[2] The God-given world has become far richer for the Church since that day, and now it is filled with every day people and God-given values. The Church is on the spiritual path so that people can begin to express the faith of that world in an orderly and peaceful way. In fact, the Church is one of the few religions that actually have a “God’s Will”.
Religions such as the LDS, the Bishops, the LDS and the Methodist make statements that they believe to be God’s, and as such they may be considered as the Church’s representatives.
However, the Church still believes that there is a God—perhaps one that exists in the outermost part of the world. It has also been accused of making false statements that undermine Church doctrine and practices.
While the church seems to be more consistent about giving a divine mission to each of its members, some critics are attempting to portray it as a divinely appointed mission system.
In these attempts to portray the Church as being a divine mission system, some critics attempt to portray the LDS Church as a “preach” branch, but it still has an overall mission, and is guided by God’s will. The Church, like all spiritual faiths, is created based on the divine will, a set of beliefs. As such it is subject to various external and internal interpretations that, if held, may alter the Church’s policy to a certain extent. For example, some critics believe that the Church must develop a hierarchy within the church, and, therefore, the Church can be changed to meet those expectations. However, it is important again that these criticism does not seek to take away the Church from all spiritual beliefs. This is because in many respects, a human body can be in the Church and change in this way. As such, no divine mission is required.
The LDS Church is an important institution because it represents the very life of every person, family, and Church. As such, the organization is one of the most vibrant and influential churches that will form a part of the Church. This brings us to the question of “Who is responsible for the LDS Church?” The question is: Who is responsible for its structure?
6. How does the LDS church define the “one, unified church”?
The LDS Church has defined the “one, unified church”—the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. While the LDS Church’s theology has varied greatly from generation to generation, the Church’s founding principles and core values have always remained the same. The LDS Church has the responsibility of “fighting to protect the world from violence, disease, disaster, poverty and war.”
In this regard—as is evident from the Church’s recent stance on war and its resulting social, economic and spiritual effects in the U.S. and Latin America—the concept of a divine mission does not need explanation. The LDS Church itself has set forth a number of unique doctrinal tenets and goals for the advancement of life and family in the Latter Day Saints. While it was this overarching goal that attracted the attention of Latter Day Saints, such as Elder Dany Smith, President Spencer W. Kimball, and others—including the Church’s leaders around the world—the doctrine and mission setting of the LDS Church does not require explanation. The principles and mission setting of the LDS Church must reflect these principles and objectives. The same principles and missions can also provide guidance to the rest of us regarding the Church’s doctrines and mission setting, as well as the Church’s own structure.
In many respects, the LDS Church has defined the “one, unified church”—the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. While it has frequently stated doctrinal policies and beliefs, and often has said or implied specific doctrinal commitments, the Church’s leadership and governing board is
The reason for the Church’s position on religion: First of all, it is true that the Church is dedicated to helping everyone to have the same moral, spiritual, and physical lives. That said, the Church has no “doctrinal” values. Instead, the Church is the “godfather” of all religions. The “doctrinally-inspired” Bible teaches that no one has eternal life and that there is no God. Moreover, the Church has some spiritual teachings that are really based on “the Spirit”. They are:
Oneness: It tells us that our existence is eternal forever. And it reveals and justifies us to live in a way that will give us the chance to be worthy of the benefit of the Spirit. Eternal Life: The Church is the creator of our eternal, all-encompassing body so that our eternal and life-giving potential can be created without change, without restriction.

The Torah teaches the importance of family life through (Ten Commandments), Shabbat (day of rest) when God rest on the seventh day after creating the world. Also, the importance of Kosher Food in the Jewish community. Moreover, the Torah teaches to look after people (such as families and friends), donate 10% of what they earn to help others, acts of kindness (welcome new visitors, to their homes), and care of animals.
