Talk:Light of Christ (Latter Day Saints)

Please do not merge Inner Light with Light of Christ
I was raised as a (liberal) Quaker and I personally have never heard the phrase "Light of Christ" used in my meeting, we always referred to the inner light or sometimes the "light of God within us" or other variations. I am disturbed to discover that "Light of Christ" is a Mormon doctrine, I'm not sure Quakers have much in common with Mormons and I would rather that the doctrines for the two different churches be described separately, with their nuances and historical origins discussed in separate articles. To merge the articles would result in confusion between two somewhat different concepts from different religions, I think. If the Mormons understood the "inner light" the same way Quakers do, I don't really see how they could have a priesthood, the point is that everyone has direct connection to God, and that nobody's connection to God is better than anyone else's, IMHO.

I think it's pretty clear that someone searching for "inner light" is looking for information on the Quaker doctrine, not the Mormon doctrine.--Skyfaller (talk) 20:05, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Article needs major restructuring
The "Light of Christ" is a concept valued by just about every Christian denomination. As such, any status as a Mormon doctrine ought to be a mere footnote, not the main thrust of the article. 174.24.50.26 (talk) 08:10, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Moved to Light of Christ (Latter Day Saints) and stub left behind on generic meaning. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:46, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Even with the move, this article still needs a lot of work. It's far too doctrinal and uses too many scripture references to even feel like a wp article. ChristensenMJ (talk) 03:36, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Massive WP:PSTS problem, yes, but unfortunately for non-LDS informed editors like myself not much can do. Could add various Greek/Syrian fathers to the main article, but sufficient for now. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:42, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
