I want to make sure I understand Mormon doctrine correctly. Mormons believe in a trinity of three Gods that are physically distinct and separate but perfectly unified in purpose, functioning as one. From this point of view they are monotheists, though their view of the trinity differs from that of orthodox Christians that believe that […] (August 1, 2011, 1 comment)
Ever since I was a child, I was taught that if I believed I Jesus and repented and was baptized, I would be saved. I read on Mormon.org, though, that all people will be saved in three degrees of glory. So even if I don’t believe and don’t repent, I can still obtain the lowest […] (August 1, 2011, 2 comments)

Hi. I’ve been a member of the Church every since I was born…. Hi. I’ve been a member of the Church every since I was born. I’m now 19 years old. I recently heard about a book that Joseph Smith wrote explaining how God the Father passed through a mortal process like Jesus Christ. Can you explain this to me? (August 1, 2011, 1 comment)
Hi, I just wanna ask if I need to repent and tell my bishop of a particular inapproprite thing I have done as a kid. The thing is, I couldn’t rmbr if it happened when I was under 8 years old, or a bit older than that. Does forgetting about our sins mean that we […] (July 31, 2011, 1 comment)
“The baptism interview. Prior to baptism, there’s an intervi ew with a missionary not directly involved in teaching you. In some cases, an interview with the mission president may also be necessary. Don’t stress these interviews too much. They simply serve to make sure you’re ready for baptism.” What sort of questions are asked in these […] (July 31, 2011, 1 comment)
Would anyone know if the BC’ Prophets were Nephites and such as Solomon, David, Moses and other o/t prophets. And if any of the n/t Prophets were Nephites? I would say that Lehi was a Jew because he left Jerusalem and went to the Wilderness. (July 31, 2011, 3 comments)
Do Latter-Day Saints believe that the earth will be the cele stial kingdom? Will the earth be inhabited eternally, and will those who qualify for the celestial kingdom live on the earth forever? What will the earth be like when Christ returns? Thank you so much for your wonderful service! (July 31, 2011, 1 comment)
Can you please cite where in the Bible (or Book of Mormon) J esus Christ or the Heavenly Father — whom I assume are the ultimate authorities — say that women are not suited for being prophets or members of the LDS church leadership. If there is none such citation, then on what authority does the […] (July 31, 2011, 2 comments)

And what if those parents, remarry, […] (July 31, 2011, 1 comment)
I have a question regarding Joseph Smith. It appears that he has gone on record as stating he is better then Christ. Since I’M thinking of converting I ‘ve been giving so much information from those who oppose the LDS church. Most of it I shrug off, but things like this make me wonder. I […] (July 18, 2011, 7 comments)
Hello, its the me again. I have so many questions and I’m su re your tired of answering them. As I stated before, I want to convert but I get a lot of grief and maybe bad information from people that oppose me joining the church. I know you can’t speak about the temple, but I […] (July 18, 2011, 6 comments)
How would one go about converting? I am a confirmed Catholic , but I recently read the Book of Mormon and feel like I’m discovering the truth. I don’t want to just claim to be a Mormon just because I agree and believe your stories and principles, so how would I properly become a Mormon? (July 18, 2011, 10 comments)
This will sound ridicoulous and Im 99.99 percent sure this i sn’t true, but my curiosity has got me. I was reading a website that had “facts Mormons won’t tell you” and one was that Mormon women have to say pregnant throughout eternity and that Mormon husbands will have to have sex with many other wives […] (July 18, 2011, 8 comments)
First, I want to thank you for a great site; you have done w ell in answering some of my questions. I have been wavering on whether or not to join the church, and have done some extensive research in the process. Some has been negative, like in any religion and some has been positive. I […] (July 18, 2011, 5 comments)
I am Catholic with really no interest in converting to Mormo n. My boyfriend of 3 1/2 years is mormon though and we are very serious and hope one day to be married. My question is, if we do make it to marriage, what will it be like? Like ceremony wise? Since we’re both different religions […] (July 11, 2011, 1 comment)
I have broken the law of chastity, foolishly giving away my virtue to my boyfriend. Also, I have given in to peer pressure and smoked weed and did shoplifting. I’m really ashamed of what I did, and now I made up my mind that I’m gonna talk to my bishop. The only thing I’m worried […] (July 10, 2011, 3 comments)
God is at the Helm. Everyone of us they are experience of a lot of trials,,.. This trials, we are test our faith and patience.. But when we trust in him, everything is well. (July 5, 2011)
He Loves Us. I have a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that He and Heavenly Father love each and everyone of us, His literal children. It is easier to bear my testimony in text, but if you knew me, you’d understand that it is VERY difficult for me speak in public. I am only […] (July 4, 2011)

Was the Book of Mormon written or organized in order? Like i n 1 nephi it says “wherefore I did make plates of ore that I might engraven the record of my people “the way he talks about how he made records on “the plates” makes it sound like 1 Nephi wasn’t written on the brass […] (July 3, 2011, 2 comments)
Last year I met and became good friends with a devoted mormo n teen. After seeing how happy he is, I am strongly considering joining the LDS church, but I have a couple of questions. My family is pentecostal, and I was wondering if they would be against the choice, because I don’t want to cause […] (July 3, 2011, 4 comments)
I have been interested in becoming a mormon and I am curious about the obligations towards sexual activity. I assume sex before marriage isnt allowed which is fine because I am not sexually active (Im still a virgin) but when I get married eventually are there limits on what we can do sexually? I am […] (June 20, 2011, 3 comments)
It’s Real and True. I am Mormon because I have had a witness from God that this is His true church restored, and not a day goes by that I can’t see His hand in my life.. and that is JOY in a fallen world O:) (June 20, 2011)
I was raised a Christian, so I do believe in Jesus Christ. I don’t claim to be a great theologian, but I can see a big difference in what Christianity believes and what the LDS believes. I’m still a bit confused, but my wife and I meet with two missionaries about a year ago. During […] (June 19, 2011, 2 comments)
I have a question regarding God having a physical body. I un like most that are giving the Book of Mormon have done my reading. I don’t claim to be better, nor do I claim to be a great theologian. I had many questions for my missionary friends that would come over, and they were astonished […] (June 19, 2011, 2 comments)
I have a few questions regarding the Apostasy. I’m want to c onvert, but as I read the Bible and the Book of Mormon I get more confused. I have come to these conclusions, I hope you can answer my questions as I’m not sure about my Christian faith, or the LDS. I write this in […] (June 19, 2011, 3 comments)
I have had very negative experiences in the past with confes sing sins to bishops. One bishop kicked me out of school for voluntarily confessing and reaching out for help. When I went home for nine months my bishop there was ineffective at guiding me and pretty much ignored my obvious reasons for being sent home. […] (June 6, 2011, 3 comments)
I have already been baptized and DO NOT want to be baptized again. I feel if I am baptized again, I will be being baptized unto the Mormon denomination and not unto God. Therefore, with that said, would I be able to become a member of the Mormon church? (June 6, 2011, 5 comments)
My friend told me Mormons believe Jesus was a polygamist.. S he doesn’t believe me when I explain that she’s mistaken. I can’t convince her, even though I’m a member of the Church and clearly know what I’m talking about. She can’t believe I am involved with “those” peolple. What can I say to respond?

I am in the repentance process for breaking the law of chast ity and doing similar things. I’ve been doing really well, saying morning and night prayers and reading my scriptures every day like my bishop asked me to. However, last night I was feeling really weak, and I did something I shouldn’t have. I was […] (June 5, 2011, 4 comments)
Hope. My beliefs give me hope. I was sexually and physically assaulted as a child, when I existed at all. I have PTSD. I lost my first apartment in a fire, and I was homeless for 7 months. I have severe scoliosis and no treatment for it. Without my Heavenly Father’s gentle grace I would have […] (May 30, 2011)
My Mormon boyfriend and I have been together since I was 14, and I will be 17 in August (so almost 3 years).

Hello! First, thank you for this site! It has been so very h elpful.

Hi, I’m 16 years old and I recently made a bif mistake. I co mmitted a sexual sin with a girl, but we were not in a relationship. I want to repent, but I’m scared.

Growing as a Mortal. As a practicing Buddhist, complacency and routine hindered my progression. Redoubling my meditative efforts and stepping up my study regimen failed to energize or stimulate my static level of understanding. What I rationalized to be a more gradual upward plane of learning and realization was, in fact, a stagnant plateau. My personal focus on my […] (May 13, 2011)
