Mormons also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Have many different beliefs some of the basic ones are




We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.


We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.


We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.


We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.


We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.


We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.


We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.


We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.


We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.


We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.


We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.


We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.


We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

Mormons are the days that occur on the second day of the week after the first Monday of all time has taken place. They are 24 hours long. They tend to be boring and no one likes them. One particular person who stands up against mormons is Garfield.

they are a Christian variant that call themselves "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" in addition to the New and Old Testaments that most Christians follow, they have the 'Book of Mormon".

Basically their faith states: that JC appeared in the US post resurrection and Joseph Smith was visited by God and JC when eh asked what was the right and true faith. He was directed to find the testament written by the American followers who had since been killed off. He did so, and translated them. from what i understand, he and he alone saw the originals, and when tested to retranslate a book that was thought lost he simply 'translated' a different book of the same story.

say what you will about its origins, they seem to be a good people who sincerely believe their faith and try to do good things and love everyone.

Mormons are pseudochristians that base their faith on ridiculous stories made up by some idiot in like Utah. I have to chase them off my property all the time.
