Latter Day Saint Q & A
What's LDS??
LDS means Latter Day Saint, or Mormon(the common nickname for a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints).
Do you worship Joseph Smith??
No. He's a great prophet, not a god.
Ok, do you practice polygamy??
Definetly not!! That was a commandment only at the beginning of the church, but was discontinued long ago. How that one may have gotten started is there are a few splinter groups(excommunicated) outside the Church(they still call themselves Mormon, though) that continue the practice that used to steal books of temple recommends from bishops' offices. Thanks to security measures, the theft has stopped, but the splinter groups still exist.
Are Mormons Christians??
Yes, we are!! I don't know how that got started....
Do you believe in the Bible??
Yes, we do. But we also belive in the Book of Mormon as scripture as well as the Bible.
But the Bible is all there is, and I can prove it...
PLEASE!!! Stop that!! The only thing I ask is you keep an open mind and don't start on that subject either with me. If I see any e-mail messages on that line, I WILL delete them, 'cause I tend to lose my temper when I hear that one, and I don't want to argue. I personally think trying to start an argument is not really Christian, so please don't start "bible bashing" with me.
This is all I can think of right now...if you have any questions about the Church that you think would be worthy of this page, e-mail me or use my mail form.
