~by Michelle We regularly review the kinds of questions people are asking when they find our site. I thought it might be helpful to just respond simply to several of them. A wide variety of topics is covered below. Questions are in bold. Q: Do Mormons believe Jesus is God? Do Mormons believe Jesus died for our sins? A: We believe in a Godhead of three distinct personages. God the Father is the Father of our spirits, and author of the plan of salvation. Jesus Christ is the God of the Old Testament (Jehovah) and the Savior of the World (as recorded in the New Testament and in the Book of Mormon), but is not the same Person as God the Father. The Holy Ghost is a personage of spirit. And yes, we do believe that Jesus died for our sins. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is a central doctrine of our faith. The Savior is the author and finisher of our faith and the Q: Do Mormons attend the Church of the Latter-day Saints? A: The term “Mormon” is a nickname for The Church of Jesus Christ... Read the rest of this entry »

~Answer by Michelle** To some, it may seem impossible to believe — a 14-year-old boy sees God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, who calls him to the work of restoring the Savior’s ancient church. An angel appears to the 17-year-old Joseph and shows him gold plates, which plates Joseph receives four years later, and then translates from a lost language into English in a matter of months. The resulting book (The Book of Mormon), first published in 1830, contains the writings of ancient prophets who lived on the American continent, spanning over 1,000 years of time. A pinnacle part of the book captures the visit of the resurrected Savior not long after His death, resurrection, and ascension into heaven. We believe Joseph Smith was a prophet like those in the Bible: Abraham, Moses, Joshua, and many others. We believe He was given priesthood power directly from those who held the keys of this priesthood in the Savior’s day (from John the Baptist and from Peter, James, and... Read the rest of this entry »

My husband works extra hard. Right now he is working full-time while attending classes. It isn’t easy for either one of us. There are days where he leaves at 7 AM and doesn’t return until after 11 PM. While I generally throw a pity party for myself during his long days, sometimes a revelation pushes through my sorrow. Last week this happened. In order for us  to re-register our car in our state, we must pass a safety test. We failed the test and are required to fix certain things. Expensive things. To afford this, my husband worked 80 hours straight while also juggling classes, papers, and finals. On top of it all, he worried about our little family. He worried about me. Yeah, my overworked husband came home one night and apologized for working so much. I felt more than a little ashamed. The next morning, a sentence ran through my head from the The Family: A Proclamation to the World. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness... Read the rest of this entry »

President Thomas S. Monson reminds us of this truth in a new Mormon Messages video entitled, “Until We Meet Again” — where he shares a tender story about a woman who lost a son at war and wondered if her son would live again. It’s a great comfort to know that because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we will all live again. The reality of the resurrection is a foundational doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Read More →
