First, I caution you regarding answers provided here by non-Mormons or "former Mormons", because they usually don't know what they are talking about and their comments are way out in left field most of the time.
We (the Latter-Day Saints, aka Mormons) believe in Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God, who came to earth, atoned for our sins, was crucified, died, and took up his body and lived again 3 days later. He was Jehovah of the Old Testament and is now the God of this earth, and will come again to cleanse the earth and prepare it for the future. We believe He is the only way by which we can return to Heavenly Father, that He is aware of every one of us, knows us by name, knows our needs and our sorrows, and can best help us since He suffered them all.
The Mormon church is patterned after the church that Christ brought to earth: Prophet, apostles, baptism by immersion, the gift of the Holy Ghost following baptism, tithing, temples, revelation, missionaries, serving each other, taking care of the poor and widowed, chastity and morality, good works, and all other facets of Christ's original church, which fell into apostacy and was restored in the latter days. (Thus we are called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.) We believe in the Bible and in a second testament of Christ --the Book of Mormon.

The Mormons teach that Jesus was born in heaven as the spirit child of Elohim (Heavenly Father) by one of his wives, and Jesus' brother was lucifer, who became Satan. Jesus is one of many Gods.

That Jesus and Satan were once spiritual brothers and came from one of Gods many wives. That Jesus marriade Mary Madeline on the Earth and other unnamed women. (he had to be a Pilgamist just like all the other Mormons to-but they never say anything about the wives of satan). That Jesus helped God create the Earth.

Mormons believe that Jesus Christ endured unimaginable suffering in order to save us from our sins and also in order to have perfect empathy with each individual in the worst of their personal sufferings. Because of Him, we can have eternal life.

sure and No- he's the only real God with the daddy, who's Heavenly Father. he's not the "God" the daddy the Bible speaks, because of the fact he's the Son of God. And no they are no longer training to be Gods of planets and universes, they're residing to be as on the factor of God's teachings as possible so as that at some point they could be like God's image. no longer "GODS", yet like as God became. hear to no longer people who have been excommunicated from the Church, as a lot of them are rather somewhat some the main deceptive and evil ones on the instant. as a replace believe in prayer, as in case you will pray over the e book of Mormon and Bible the spirit will confirm which you do you interior hours.

See www.lds.org
We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, immortal and resurrected. He is the Savior and Redeemer of all mankind. His Atonement is central to our teachings. I love Him.
Have a happy day, and I send you a gummy bear.

Basic beliefs of the Mormoms
You may have questions about what members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe. Some of the basic beliefs of the Church are:
God is our Heavenly Father. He loves us and wants us to return to Him. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is our Savior. He redeems us from death by providing the Resurrection. He saves us from sin as we repent.
Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can return to live with God if we keep His commandments.
The Holy Ghost helps us to recognize truth.
The first principles and ordinances of the gospel are faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The Church of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth.
The priesthood authority of God exists in His Church today, just as it did in the original Church.
The Bible and the Book of Mormon are the word of God.
God reveals His will to prophets today, just as He did anciently.
Our life has a sacred purpose.
Families can be together forever.
Through serving others, we can experience joy and draw closer to God.
Jesus Christ suffered and died for all of us, giving us the opportunity to repent of our sins and be forgiven as well as the promise of resurrection. He also lived His life as an example for us. His life shows us the way we should live. He:
Taught us how to pray by the way He prayed.
Showed us how to humbly serve others by the way He spent His life in service.
Demonstrated that we should be baptized the way He himself was baptized.
If you follow His example as closely as you can, you will not only find joy in your life, but you will someday return to live with Him and your Father in Heaven.
We want to understand the larger purpose and meaning of our lives. Without purpose, living day to day can become tedious and empty.
Fortunately, there are answers to these questions—answers that can give you a sense of purpose and help you find lasting happiness. Answers such as:
You are a child of God. Before you were born, you lived as a spirit with God, your Heavenly Father.
You came to Earth to learn to be more like God.
When your life on Earth is over, you can return to live with your Heavenly Father.
from an eternal perspective, true happiness comes from developing attributes such as goodness, love, justice, and mercy. It comes from serving God and others, and from preparing to live with our Father in Heaven again. Heavenly Father knows that many things contribute to your happiness—such as work, a healthy lifestyle, friends, family, and personal achievement. But your deepest, most lasting happiness will come from knowing God’s plan and following it.
