- We affirm that all scripture is art and is most meaningful—spiritually, ethically, and intellectually—when understood as such.
- We affirm that the Human and the Divine share a common nature. As we now are, God once was; as God now is, we may become.
- We affirm that we develop our Divine potential by fully embracing our Humanity and cultivating within ourselves every virtue we envision God possessing.
- We affirm that to better understand the human condition is to better understand God’s past and to speculate about God’s nature is to envision Humanity’s potential.
- As the Human and the Divine share a common nature, we affirm that all human history, all areas of human moral striving, and all fields of human knowledge are sacred and that studying them is beneficial to our eternal spiritual, ethical and intellectual progression.
- We affirm the sacred worth of all human beings; that every individual human being—regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, class, or social standing—is eternal, exists in the image of the Divine, and is by nature a free agent, capable of progressing eternally.
- We affirm that the elements are eternal—uncreated and without beginning or end; that there is no such thing as “immaterial matter,” and that all spirit is matter, but it is more refined. Consequently, we affirm eternal pluralism, more than one ultimate principle, and the Primacy of Existence.
These seven affirmations constitute the Mormon Theological Paradigm, embraced by The Mormon Community (Reform) as its theological foundation.
