The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) focuses its doctrine and teaching on
Jesus Christ; that he was the Son of God, born of
Mary, lived a perfect life, performed miracles, bled from every pore in the
Garden of Gethsemane, died on the cross, rose on the third day, appeared again to his disciples, and now resides, authoritatively, on the right hand side of God. In brief, some beliefs are in common with
Catholics,
Orthodox and
Protestant traditions. However, teachings of the LDS Church differ significantly in other ways and encompass a broad set of doctrines, so that the above-mentioned denominations usually place the LDS Church outside the bounds of orthodox Christian teaching as summarized in the
Nicene Creed.
