People call us “Mormons,” because we honor the Book of Mormon as a companion to the Bible. It’s a nickname that sometimes keeps people from realizing that we are committed Christians.

Mormons did not change their day of worship to Sunday. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the restoration of Christ’s ancient church, and the restoration was directed by Christ through direct revelation and through heavenly messengers. Virtually all of the early members of the Church, which was established in the 1830’s in northeastern America, were former Protestants, accustomed to Sunday worship. This tradition was continued, because no revelation deemed it necessary to change it. The Sabbath is every seventh day, and the days of the week are the machinations of men. Because the spirit of the law is what is important, it doesn’t so much matter which day is the seventh day, as long as a Sabbath occurs once in a week. In keeping with the spirit of the law as well as the demands of culture, Mormons honor the Sabbath day on Saturdays in Israel and Fridays in Egypt.

Yes, Wilbur, Mormons believe that God and Christ are co-equal, that Christ has always existed, and that He was born of the Virgin Mary into mortality. Mormons also believe in the Second Coming of Christ, and that good people of all faiths will survive the destruction of the wicked.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints does not believe in polygamy, in the early years of the church they made it so if you practiced polygamy you would be excommunicated. There was a splinter group called the Reorganized Church also known as FLDS that broke off so as to continue practicing polygamy. We are not affiliated with them in any way and do not condone their actions. Unfortunately, they also have the nickname “Mormon” attached to them thus causing the common misconception that “Mormons” practice polygamy. Thank you for your question and for allowing us to straighten that out Emma! If you have any more questions we would love to answer them!

We believe that a person’s soul is made up of their spirit in combination with their physical body. Thus they are not mutually exclusive. And you are entirely correct in your accounting of scripture however, we differ on our interpretations slightly. The Latter Day Saints believe that the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are each separate entities but they are one in will and purpose.
