Numos accept the core Mormon beliefs that Joseph Smith was a prophet, the Book of Mormon is scripture and that the original Church founded by Joseph Smith, had divine authority, but unlike the typical Active Latter-Day Saint, Numos identify that something changed along the way for the Church and it lost it's once sacred powers and position.

 

A pattern of events within the early years of occurred that showed the what, when and why the Church lost it's divine authority and became the same as any other man made church. Joseph Smith's life allowed to be taken and removed from the Saints, similar to Moses being taken from the Children of Israel. eing allowed to be taken to be called where the Church  that the Church fell under condemnation in 1832, (See D&C 84:54-58) and in 1844 were completely rejected by the Lord. (See D&C 124: 31-33 and 44-45)

 

by 1834, when the membership ignored the call to repent, the Lord removed His name from the Church, changing it from the Church of Christ to the new name, the Church of the Latter-day Saints. Later, they still slid further from condemnation to outright rejection by the Lord in 1844. . This rejection produced an outcome similar to Moses's removal from the Children of Israel, allowing Joseph Smith to be taken and the Melchezdek Priesthood authority to be removed from the Church.

 

Brigham Young, his successors, and the other Restoration Churches were all affected by the loss of divine authority. Brigham Young falsely altered many of Joseph Smith's original teachings and historical records to advance his own self-serving interests. Polygamy was one of the polarizing false teachings that Brigham Young pushed, which Joseph Smith condemned, and the Book of Mormon refutes.
