I’m trying to understand more about the mormons. This video is good, except that Jesus after being resurrected from the tomb, showed himself to 500, before his ascension to the right hand of God, on the throne. Thank you for this video, it’s nice to know your beliefs about Jesus Christ. Let me ask you […] (September 20, 2010, 4 comments)
Ive been inactive in the LDS church of and on for years.

Hello. My name is Fabio, and I’m 18 years old. I’m not a mem ber of the LDS church, but I know the church is true. My problem is I can’t talk to anyone about the church. I read the Bible and Book of Mormon, but for various reasons I can’t attend church or talk to […] (September 5, 2010, 1 comment)
I’ve committed many sins in my life, but I have one that I h aven’t been able to stop committing. I separated from the Father of my daughter because he was unfaithful, but he always comes back whenever he wants to have sex. In the past I loved him so much, and because of my past […] (September 5, 2010, 1 comment)
My grandpa died 10 days ago, and I’m very sad. I ask myself where he is, in paradise or in spirit prison. He didn’t know the gospel and didn’t go to any church, but he did believe in God. Can somebody tell me where he is? I’ve never gone to the temple before. Can someone […] (September 5, 2010, 1 comment)
How do you know the Book of Mormon is true? I’ve heard Mormo ns say that they know it is true, but how? The told me the Holy Ghost can testify, but how do you recognize it? Do you feel it? I don’t understand. Thanks. (August 23, 2010, 2 comments)
I’ve read the Book of Mormon many times, and I love it so mu ch. It’s a wonderful book, but when I think of a civilization that lasted 1,000 years in the Americas with hundreds of cities I wonder why there are no ruins or evidences of their fortifications. On the other hand, the Book of […] (August 23, 2010, 2 comments)
I am wondering about if I need to confess something to my bi shop. I am a young girl (14) and a few months ago I became involved with a boy in my grade(who isn’t a member of the church). We were friends earlier and we were aware that we both liked each other. We texted […] (August 21, 2010, 4 comments)
First let me explain that I am not Mormon (and I live in Uta h). My question concerns a temple ordinance known as “second endowment”. Could you please explain what it is? Also, I understand that it is no longer done. If not, why? How often do the secret/sacred temple rituals change and who enforces these […] (August 21, 2010, 2 comments)
My boyfriend and I are both return missionaries. He is separ ated from his wife, but he’s still married. We’ve been together for 4 years, and during this time we’ve broken the law of chastity. I love him, but how can I turn something so profane into a temple marriage? (August 16, 2010, 2 comments)
Hello. My cousin belongs to this church. I’ve visited before and I really like it. To tell you the truth, I’d like to become a member, but I’ve committed some terrible sins. To be specific, I’ve had sex outside of marriage and even had an abortion. I’m not proud of it, and every day I […] (August 16, 2010, 1 comment)
Hello :). I am in high school and am curious about the Churc h of Latter day Saints. I am planning on going to school at BYU and I am curious as to if I would fit in if I am not a church member. What are some things that are different that I may different […] (August 14, 2010, 3 comments)

My family and I need help finding an apartment here in Moscou too. I currently live in an apartment with 6 people, and I’d like to […] (August 8, 2010, 1 comment)
It was Hard to Imagine that God had More Scripture. Since it was first published in English in 1830, the Book of Mormon has been fully translated into 72 languages. It took me a while to read the Book of Mormon and really ponder over it in my heart. When you have been taught not to add or take away from the Bible, it was […] (August 2, 2010)
You Are a Son/Daughter of Heavenly Father. I am so grateful that I have had the chance to be baptized into this church! If you are not sure about this church, I urge you to pray about it! It has brought so many blessings into my life! I cannot explain to you my gratitute to Jesus Christ our Savior and Redeemer, he […] (August 2, 2010)
Recently I’ve become romantically interested in a mormon wom an. As best I can tell, an LDS girl generally chooses to marry someone of her own faith. Is that true? I know that marriage in the temple is very important for the latter-day saints. Is that why? With all due respect, what is the difference? I’m […] (August 1, 2010, 4 comments)
I’m not Mormon, but I’ve been visiting a Mormon church to im prove my English, and I like their dedication. My understanding is that your religion focuses on loving not only God but also your fellow men and women. That’s what I like so much about your church, since love is sacred. My only problem is […] (August 1, 2010, 3 comments)
I’ve been a member for about 4 years. I agreed to be baptize d because I wanted to please my mother who was also being baptized. But I never felt totally convinced that the church was true, even though I prayed about it. I don’t know if I didn’t pray with enough faith or fervor, but […] (July 31, 2010, 3 comments)
My name is Carlos, and I used to be a catholic priest. I rec ently joined the LDS church and I feel good about it. I don’t want to leave it. But I have a few questions. I’m not criticizing, I just want some clarifications. Here goes. 1) Who are the gods mentioned in John 10:34 […] (July 26, 2010, 2 comments)
What did the prophet Joseph Smith say there are “three pers ons” in the Trinity, and that these three persons constitute three distinct Gods? Isn’t this a kind of polytheism? Was Joseph Smith just expressing his own opinion? Even the Bible teaches that sometimes prophets have their own opinions. Are the LDS Trinitarian like the “mormons” […] (July 26, 2010, 2 comments)
Do the LDS believe that Elohim/God the Father is “a glorifi ed/evolved man” or “an unchanging God” (the same yesterday, today, and forever)? Please support your answer with citations from the canonized LDS scriptures. Thanks and shalom. (July 26, 2010, 1 comment)
I read on some anti-mormon sites that mormons claim that Jes us/Jehovah is the product of sex between Mary and God the Father/Elohim. I have never read that in any canonized or official church document. Is there any truth to these statements? Or are they nothing but malicious slander? With love in Christ. (July 26, 2010, 1 comment)
I read the following in the official text of Gospel Principl es (2009): “Joseph Smith taught: It is the first principle of the gospel to know for a certainty the character of God … He was once a man like us; … God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as […] (July 25, 2010, 1 comment)
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Sa ints and I have been called as a branch president, but I feel bad because recently I fell into a transgression. My students here in Huancavelica participated in a public event, and the organizer of the festival publicly gave us a case of […] (July 25, 2010, 1 comment)
Hi, I am very interested in your church because its members seem so happy and to live such wonderful lives by example. I even prayed if the church was true and felt that it is. However I, thinking of converting from a Christian background would just like to clarify if the following beliefs are true […] (July 24, 2010, 1 comment)
I feel so lost. I love the gospel and the church. I served a mission and have served in many callings. I’ve had girlfriends in the church and am seen as the kind of young man that is an example. Women find me attractive, but I’ve carried a terrible burden for some years now. I’m […] (July 19, 2010, 2 comments)
Struggling with Same-Sex Attraction. Hi. I’m writing from my ipod… Please forgive the mistkes… I’m an active mormon who has homosexual desires.

I converted to the church as an adult, already married with a small child. My husband didn’t want to convert and he is still a Catholic. Now he’s asked me if our child can be baptized in the Catholic Church and if he can go to a Catholic school. Ever since I’ve been a member, […] (July 19, 2010, 1 comment)
I’m a young man, 27 years old, and I’ve been carrying a burd en all my life. My friends and family don’t even know about it. I’m attracted to other men. I don’t know what to do.

Do you accept asexuality? I feel like it’s not that uncommon . I’m not talking about feeling attracted to someone of the same sex. I’m talking about not being sexually attracted to anyone, regardless of gender. Could I be baptized? Maybe it’s just a phase of adolescence. I’m 20 years old. Thanks for your help. (July 19, 2010, 2 comments)
Hi. Can you explain to me about Russell Pierce or the govern or of Arizona Jan Brewer? Are they really mormons? We’re taught that all are equal in God’s sight and there’s an important commandment to love one another. How can the support the sb1070 law? This law separates families, and isn’t the family formed by […] (July 18, 2010, 1 comment)
My grandsons lost their mother suddenly and I have been tryi ng to find a video to show them about life after death. I remebered “I’ll build you a rainbow” From years ago and was happy to find it online. But I’d like to find out if there are any others that might be appropriate for […] (July 12, 2010, 1 comment)
I’d like to belong to your church, but I’ve heard that you d on’t let women work. Is that true? It’s that I’m a medical student and I would never want to give up my career. Obviously I want to dedicate my time to God and I want to one day have a family, but I’d […] (July 12, 2010, 2 comments)
