The Articles of Faith outline 13 basic points of belief of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Prophet Joseph Smith first wrote them in a letter to John Wentworth, a newspaper editor,
in response to Mr. Wentworth's request to know what members of the Church believed.
They were subsequently published in Church periodicals.
They are now regarded as scripture and included in the Pearl of Great Price.

6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.

"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned;
and I will go still further and say, take this revelation, or any other revelation that the Lord has given,
and deny it in your feelings, and I promise that you will be damned.
- JoD 3:266 (July 14, 1855)
Any Mormons reading the above want to take this moment to DENOUNCE what your leaders have said up there??
Don’t you understand? That’s the full time job of these lunatics. They would rather have Islamic extremists head choppers for neighbors and fascist liberals as rulers than make any common cause with Mormons. They are a dying breed and must make up in volume what they lack in diminishing numbers.
Yeah and Mormons are based in Salt Lake City and so are the Utah Jazz for whom Karl Malone played, so let's talk about the 1998 NBA Finals and how Malone stacked up against Jordan.
There are four Mormon majority counties in Nevada which are Lincoln, White Pine, Eureka and Elko. Trump's respective totals in that country were 78%, 72%, 84% and 73%, respectively.
Some people voted for Egg McMuffin (who wasn't even on the Nevada ballot) in Utah because they wanted Hillary to come in third place. It wasn't even close to 200,000 thousand. Look it up (hint: the website at my link is very good) before you start posting your idiotic crap.
“Ave Maria is great! It was just made a Parish Church by the Bishop recently. Lots of nice houses, restaurants, shopping, etc.”
Good to hear!
Hey I appreciate your research but you make it sound so noble to have voted for a Trump in the clearest “consider the alternative” race we’ve ever had! May I suggest that any common-sense person could have concluded Hillary wasn’t worth a vote?
and so forth.... :)
OK T.O.R....Even from a Book perspective, which I don't embrace, your BoM 'Jesus' teaches you five times in 3 Nephi 19:18-26 to pray directly Jesus...yet I can't find Mormons who will obey the Mormon Jesus in this.
How can Mormons be deemed "valiant servants" when they openly disobey 3 Nephi 19:18-26?
I’m not a Mormon but I bet it will be a nice community.
Well, Utah is perhaps the leading fraud area—white-collar crime—largely due to Mormon-based affinity fraud where they become too trusting of other Mormons...look for that here...the sexual abuse rate, the suicide rate, and depression meds especially among women also very high in Utah...would be interesting to see what is transported
I guess you AGREE with the quotes posted above...
Vman!
Is that you in the lower left??
You wanna talk about grown men running around and getting all sweaty?
OK then; you start.
It's not a commandment, but simply an event that took place when the Savior visited the American continent. Read it for yourself here.
Well; they ARE a bit all mixed up.
But just who WOULDN'T be; trying to follow what their Scriptures teach them??
Trinity: found in the Book of MORMON ----------- rejected in the Doctrines and Covenants
Now Zeezrom said: Is there more than one God? And he answered, No. (Alma 11:28-29) ...and be arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God, to be judged according to their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil. (Alma 11:44) ...doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, which is one God, without end. Amen. (2 Nephi 31:21) ...praises with the choirs above, unto the Father, and unto the Son, and unto the Holy Ghost, which are one God, in a state of happiness which hath no end. (Mormon 7:7) ...power of God; and the Son, because of the flesh; thus becoming the Father and Son--And they are one God, yea, the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth. And thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit, or the Son to the Father, being one God, (Mosiah 15:3-5) ...of Jared, that whoso should possess this land of promise, from that time henceforth and forever, should serve him, the true and only God, or they should be swept off when the fulness of his wrath should come upon them. (Ether 2:8) According to that which was ordained in the midst of the Council of the Eternal God of all other gods before this world was, that should be reserved unto the finishing and the end thereof, when every man shall enter into his eternal presence and into his immortal rest. (Section 121:32) And again, verily I say unto you, if a man marry a wife, and make a covenant with her for time and for all eternity, if that covenant is not by me or by my word, which is my law, and is not sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, through him whom I have anointed and appointed unto this power, then it is not valid neither of force when they are out of the world, because they are not joined by me, saith the Lord, neither by my word; when they are out of the world it cannot be received there, because the angels and the gods are appointed there, by whom they cannot pass; they cannot, therefore, inherit my glory; for my house is a house of order, saith the Lord God. And again, verily I say unto you, if a man marry a wife by my word, which is my law, and by the new and everlasting covenant, and it is sealed unto them by the Holy Spirit of promise, by him who is anointed, unto whom I have appointed this power and the keys of this priesthood; and it shall be said unto them--Ye shall come forth in the first resurrection; and if it be after the first resurrection, in the next resurrection; and shall inherit thrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers, dominions, all heights and depths--then shall it be written in the Lamb's Book of Life, that he shall commit no murder whereby to shed innocent blood, and if ye abide in my covenant, and commit no murder whereby to shed innocent blood, it shall be done unto them in all things whatsoever my servant hath put upon them, in time, and through all eternity; and shall be of full force when they are out of the world; and they shall pass by the angels, and the gods, which are set there, to their exaltation and glory in all things, as hath been sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a fulness and a continuation of the seeds forever and ever. Then shall they be gods, because they have no end; therefore shall they be from everlasting to everlasting, because they continue; then shall they be above all, because all things are subject unto them. Then shall they be gods, because they have all power, and the angels are subject unto them. (Section 132:18-20) Abraham received concubines, and they bore him children; and it was accounted unto him for righteousness, because they were given unto him, and he abode in my law; as Isaac also and Jacob did none other things than that which they were commanded; and because they did none other things than that which they were commanded, they have entered into their exaltation, according to the promises, and sit upon thrones, and are not angels but are gods. (Section 132:37)
"Behold, I am Jesus Christ the Son of God. I created the heavens and the earth, and all things that in them are. I was with the Father from the beginning. I am in the Father, and the Father in me; and in me hath the Father glorified his name." (3 Nephi 9:15)
"And again the Lord called others, and said unto them likewise; and he gave unto them power to baptize. And he said unto them: On this wise shall ye baptize; and there shall be no disputations among you. Verily I say unto you, that whoso repenteth of his sins through your words and desireth to be baptized in my name, on this wise shall ye baptize them--Behold, ye shall go down and stand in the water, and in my name shall ye baptize them. And now behold, these are the words which ye shall say, calling them by name, saying: Having authority given me of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. And then shall ye immerse them in the water, and come forth again out of the water. And after this manner shall ye baptize in my name; for behold, verily I say unto you, that the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost are one; and I am in the Father, and the Father in me, and the Father and I are one...And thus will the Father bear record of me, and the Holy Ghost will bear record unto him of the Father and me; for the Father, and I, and the Holy Ghost are one." (3 Nephi 11:22-27, 36)
But kinda Stepford wivish; considering all the Prozac® that would probably get consumed there...
