Editing Supersessionism (section)

===Latter-day Saints===
[[Mormonism]] professes to be the restoration of the original Christian faith and that the ancient Hebrew religion was a form of proto-Christianity. Nevertheless, Latter-day Saints believe that the modern day descendants of Israel are still God's covenant people, but they have nonetheless apostatized from the proto-Christian faith that God anciently revealed through the ancient patriarchs and Israel's prophets. For example, the [[Book of Moses]] narrates that the biblical patriarch Enoch was shown a vision of Jesus as the Messiah who should be crucified and resurrected.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Moses 7 |url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/pgp/moses/7?lang=eng&id=p53-p62#p53 |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=www.churchofjesuschrist.org |language=en}}</ref> The [[Book of Abraham]] narrates that God revealed to the titular biblical patriarch a vision of the Son of Man (a common title for Jesus Christ) being chosen in a premortal council to serve as the Redeemer of mankind.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Abraham 3 |url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/eng/scriptures/pgp/abr/3 |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=www.churchofjesuschrist.org |language=en}}</ref>

Historically, Latter-day Saint leaders and church instructional materials have promoted the idea that those who accept baptism into the church are literal descendants of the scattered Israelites, primarily the tribe of Ephraim.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |date=2019-03-27 |title=Video: Race, Lineage, and the 1920s–1940s Genealogical Society of Utah |url=https://www.dialoguejournal.com/diablogue/race-lineage-and-the-1920s-1940s-genealogical-society-of-utah/ |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=Dialogue Journal |language=en-US}}</ref> However, those teachings have been de-emphasized since the latter 20th century in favor of a competing narrative regarding members being adopted or "grafted" into the House of Israel.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Mauss |first=Armand L. |date=1999 |title=Presidential Address: In Search of Ephraim: Traditional Mormon Conceptions of Lineage and Race |journal=Journal of Mormon History |volume=25 |issue=1 |pages=131–173 |jstor=23287741 |issn=0094-7342}}</ref>

The title page of the [[Book of Mormon]]—which adherents believe is among content translated by [[Joseph Smith]] from the [[gold plates]]—states that one of its primary purposes is "to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Title Page of the Book of Mormon |url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/eng/scriptures/bofm/bofm-title |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=www.churchofjesuschrist.org |language=en}}</ref> The [[Nephites]]—whom the Book of Mormon presents as ancient Israelites who escaped Jerusalem just before the Babylonian captivity—are said to have kept the Law of Moses with an understanding that it presaged Christ's messianic mission.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=2 Nephi 25 |url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/eng/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/25 |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=www.churchofjesuschrist.org |language=en}}</ref> The Book of Mormon further teaches that because the Jews rejected and crucified Christ, they will be scattered among the nations of the earth and scourged across generations until they accept Christ as the true Messiah.<ref name=":0" /> According to the [[Doctrine & Covenants]], after Jesus reveals himself to the Jews, they will weep because of their iniquities.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Doctrine and Covenants 45 |url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/eng/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/45 |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=www.churchofjesuschrist.org |language=en}}</ref>

In 1982, Elder [[Bruce R. McConkie]], a member of the [[Quorum of the Twelve Apostles (LDS Church)|Quorum of the Twelve Apostles]] in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, published a book titled ''The Millennial Messiah'', which devotes an entire chapter to "The Jews and the Second Coming". It states:

{{blockquote|Let this fact be engraved in the eternal records with a pen of steel: the Jews were cursed, and smitten, and cursed anew, because they rejected the gospel, cast out their Messiah, and crucified their King.{{nbsp}}[...] Let the spiritually illiterate suppose what they may, it was the Jewish denial and rejection of the Holy One of Israel, whom their fathers worshiped in the beauty and holiness, that has made them a hiss and byword in all nations and that has taken millions of their fair sons and daughters to untimely graves.{{nbsp}}[...] What sayeth the holy word? "They shall be scourged by all people, because they crucify the God of Israel, and turn the hearts aside, rejecting signs and wonders, and the power and glory of the God of Israel. And because they turn their hearts aside,{{nbsp}}[...] and have despised the Holy One of Israel, they shall wander in the flesh, and perish, and become a hiss and by-word and be hated among all nations.: (1 Ne. 19:13-14; 2 Ne. 6:9-11.) Such is the prophetic word of Nephi."<ref>{{Cite book |last=McConkie |first=Bruce R. |url=http://archive.org/details/millennialmessia0000mcco |title=The millennial Messiah: the second coming of the Son of Man |date=1982 |publisher=Salt Lake City, Utah: Deseret Book Co. |others=Internet Archive |isbn=978-0-87747-896-6}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=1 Nephi 19 |url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/eng/scriptures/bofm/1-ne/19 |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=www.churchofjesuschrist.org |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=2 Nephi 6 |url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/eng/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/6 |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=www.churchofjesuschrist.org |language=en}}</ref>}}

Some Jews consider the Latter-day Saint practice of [[Baptism for the dead|posthumous baptism]] a particularly disrespectful enactment of supersessionist beliefs, and although the Church implemented guidelines restricting proxy [[Baptism for the dead#Jewish Holocaust victims|baptism of Jewish Holocaust victims]], the practice of baptizing deceased Jews has continued.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-04-23 |title=APNewsBreak: Mormon baptisms of Holocaust victims draw ire |url=https://apnews.com/article/salt-lake-city-donald-trump-us-news-ap-top-news-ut-state-wire-992dd887f7b948d0a08055dff0363aa4 |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=AP NEWS |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Oppenheimer |first=Mark |date=2012-03-03 |title=A Twist on Posthumous Baptisms Leaves Jews Miffed at Mormon Rite |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/03/us/jews-take-issue-with-posthumous-mormon-baptisms-beliefs.html |access-date=2023-05-09 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=11 November 2008 |title=Holocaust Survivors Battle Mormon Ritual |work=National Public Radio |url=https://www.npr.org/transcripts/96858486 |access-date=9 May 2023}}</ref>
