What is the difference between Latter Day Saints and Exclusive Brethren?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) has no connection with the Exclusive Brethren or any of the other Brethren churches. Indeed, the United Brethren and others of the Brethren history are particularly anti-Mormon in belief and behavior. If the question is about differences in doctrine, particular beliefs would have to be compared individually. Unfortunately, the antagonism from the Brethren (felt by this author) has made such a point by point comparison next to impossible, although similarities do exist.


Is there Millennialism in the exclusive brethren?

John Nelson Darby (JND) was one of the early Plymouth Brethren. Born in 1800, he is the 'father of Dispensationalism'. As part of his theories, JND taught that there would be a pre-trib rapture of the saints. Following a huge row in the 1840's JND led the movement that evolved into today's Exclusive Brethren. JND's notes in the Schofield Bible popularized Millenialism and his Dispensational view of prophetic teaching. In other words, the answer is not only 'Yes' - the Plymouth/Exclusive Brethren are the root of Millennialism.

What is the difference between Brethren and Catholic?

By brethren I am guessing you are talking about exclusive brethren. Exclusive brethren are just as the name suggests - exclusive and conservative. Initiation or entrance into the church is usually by birth (ie, you need to be born to a family of exclusive brethren to join the church) They exclude and ignore much of what happens in the world around them. They use nothing that may distract them from God - radio, TV, newspapers, books, games. They speak to no one else but those within the church. They have a particular way of dressing which is very conservative. Often all that the people of the church own is actually owned by the church - houses, cars, businesses, everything. This makes it very hard to leave as those who do leave often leave their families and all that they have, never to return again. Exclusive brethren men all share the roles as leaders during worship services. The Catholic church is an inclusive church - it welcomes anyone who is willing to listen. There are no real rules about watching, listening or reading anything (other than a few movies and books which the Pope believes should not be seen, but often this just makes people want to see them more). Catholics are visible within a community, helping where they can and living as Jesus wants us to live. Catholics own all their own belongings and assets. The Catholic church is moving with the times, becoming more openly accepting of others views, opinions and cultures. The Catholic church has a heirachy of clergy who are spiritual leaders. Brethren and Catholic are two very different Churches. The only similarity is that both are Christian churches


What is the difference between exclusive bretheren and latter day saints?

The most basic difference is that Exclusive Brethren believe in the Trinity and creeds, while the Latter Day Saints do not. The LDS believe that God the Father and Christ the Son are two separate beings that are one in purpose. In behaviour, Exclusive Brethren do not mix with people who are not members of their denomination - they will not eat with them, worship with them or socialise with them - whereas Mormons are eager to mix with non-members - that's why they keep turning up on your doorstep! Which brings me to another difference, namely that Exclusive Brethren are not active proseletysers; if God has predestined you to salvation, you will be led to join them. Mormons, on the other hand, are keen to spread their faith. You can turn up any Sunday at a Mormon place of worship and be welcomed warmly and invited to participate in the service (this does not apply to the temples, where you are only admitted if you have a "recommend" from your Mormon elders). If you attempt to visit an Exclusive Brethren place of worship you will be met with suspicion or even hostility and will be asked to leave before the Communion (Breaking of Bread) is celebrated. Both groups are largly patriarchal, but some Exclusive Brethen groups demand that the women demonstrate their subservience by wearing some item of clothing, usually a head covering. Mormon women dress modestly, but not to the extremes of the Exclusive Bretheren, and have much more freedom and hold some leadership positions.
