:''For the Pentecostal usage of this term, see Word of wisdom.'' The "Word of Wisdom" is the common name of a section of the Doctrine and Covenants,〔In the edition published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it is . In the edition published by the Community of Christ, it is (section 86 ). In older editions which are used by some other Latter Day Saint denominations, it is section 81.〕 a book considered by many churches within the Latter Day Saint movement to consist of revelations from God. It is also the name of a health code based on this scripture, practiced most strictly by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and Mormon fundamentalists, and to a lesser extent, some other Latter Day Saint denominations. In the LDS Church, compliance with the Word of Wisdom is currently a prerequisite for baptism, service in full-time missionary work, attendance at church schools, and entry into the church's temples; however, violation of the code is not considered to be grounds for excommunication or other disciplinary action.〔"When a Disciplinary Council Is Not Necessary," ''Handbook 1: Stake Presidents and Bishops'' (LDS Church, 2010) § 6.7.1.〕 The text discourages "strong drink" and wine (in some cases this includes sacramental wine which has been replaced with sacramental water in some sects), the non-medicinal use of tobacco, "hot drinks," and meat used more than "sparingly." The scripture also recommends the consumption of herbs, fruits, and grains, as well as grain-based "mild drinks." As practiced by the LDS Church, there is no firm restriction relating to meat consumption, but all narcotics and alcoholic beverages are forbidden, including beer. The LDS Church interprets "hot drinks" to mean coffee and tea. ==Origin and publication== According to Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, the Word of Wisdom was received in 1833 as a revelation from God. After Smith's death, Brigham Young stated that the revelation was given in response to problems encountered while conducting meetings in the Smith family home:
The Word of Wisdom was first published as a stand-alone broadsheet in December 1833. In 1835, it was included as section 80 in the first edition of the Doctrine and Covenants. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Word of Wisdom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
