Church Rivalries
During the time of Joseph Smith's teenage year, in the city of Palmyra there are 4 churches on four corners in the city. The churches were the following: Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptists and Episcopal. They were very prominent in getting people to join their churches and preaching what they believed was the "true" word of God. At this time Joseph felt very pressured on joining which church, especially because his parents belonged to 2 different churches. -
First Vision
At the age of 14 Joseph was very conflicted on which church to join, and turned to New Testament for Guidance and read John 3:5. Then went to what is now the Sacred Grove in Palmyra and prayed. He then had what is called the First Vision in the Mormon religion which is when God and Jesus Christ came down and told him to join none of the churches and start restoring the true chruch of God. -
