Question for LDS. Who is Moroni?

Question

I have a good friend who is Mormon and I am really trying to understand her Christian faith and how it relates to mine.

Thanks!!

Stone Rolled: How do you know this? I'm not doubting, just trying to get more information.

Answer 1

Hey, I am LDS, and first let me tell you it shouldn't be any problem for you to ask any question (no matter how random it may seem to you) to your friend. Most of us are really used to our friends asking us questions - and the benefit to asking her in person is that if you have a follow-up question you can throw it out right then and there while it's on your mind.

Anyway, to answer your questions - Moroni was the last Prophet to write in the Book of Mormon - you can read the book called after him here: http://scriptures.lds.org/en/moro/1
He's considered of some importance to the LDS people because:

1) the teachings in that book
2) "Moroni's Promise" which is in the last chapter that talks about If you read the Book of Mormon, pray to God with real intent, He will let you know through the Holy Ghost whether it's true or not.
3) We believe he also filled the role of the angel spoken of in Revelations 14 " 6 And I saw another Angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. "
- This was, because as an angel, he had an important role in instructing Joseph Smith and bringing about the restoration of the Gospel (that's why the angel with the trumpet on the top of our temples is called angel Moroni).

Hope that helps

Answer 2

Moroni is an ancient prophet/historian of the Book of Mormon. He was the last prophet to write in the Book of Mormon. He also buried them on Cumorah's Hill. He was also the angel that appeared to Joseph Smith and instructed him to get the plates from the hill. Angel Moroni is on top of every LDS temple.

Answer 3

Like daisy and others have stated, Moroni was the last prophet to record his history in what was later translated and compiled into the Book of Mormon.
He hid the records, the plates, as he was instructed to do by the Lord. Centuries later, as a resurrected being, he came to Joseph Smith and eventually gave him direction as to where to find the plates to translate. There is much to the history, it is very very interesting and wonderful. I encourage you to read at http://scriptures.lds.org/en/js_h/1 Joseph's history as he accounts it himself. I love Joseph for all he did for the church and for the members like me! One day I hope to personally thank him.

Answer 4

Moroni is the son of Mormon. He was the last Prophet to write upon the metal plates and later to bury them.

Here is a site that explains Moroni is much finer detail:

Answer 5

Thats the angel that revealed the book of Mormon.
The whole book is named for the angel. I know this, from my studies.

Answer 6

I am not LDS, but I am a former servant of Satan who has a great deal of knowledge about the names of demons, and Moroni is a demon of deception. He is the one who gave the tablets to Joseph Smith.

I used to be deep into the occult world, I thought I controlled demons. In reality they controlled me. I am very careful about who I share a lot about the spirit realm with, so I will definitely put it on here. I will say that there are a lot of books out that have the names and functions of some demons in them, and Moroni is one of them.

Also the "Book of Mormon" itself is not even Biblical. Revelation 22 vs18 clearly says that if anyone adds anything to this book, the plagues in this book will be added unto him. This book refers to the Bible not just the book of Revelation like the LDS church tells people.

Answer 8

Almost everyone knows to beware of the Jehovah’s Witness; but, the Mormons are different, they lure people in by claiming to be a Christian organization, and by their claim to be family oriented, and their friendly masquerade of kindness and love. Keep in mind they only "claim" to be a Christian organization. The reason they say this is because they think that if you believe in Christ then you are a Christian, when in fact this is not true at all, because Satan and his demons believe in Christ, but that does not make them Christians now does it. They claim this while secretly in there doctrine then call our Christian churches the whore of Babylon, and Christian preachers, heretic disciples of Satan. They believe that we are the occult and not them. The Mormons are very powerful in the world today and have Power because of their wealth. The Marriott Hotel chain is owned by the Mormon Church, and there is Mormon Literature in every room.

Mormons are very affluent with the dead. They claim to be visited regularly by dead family members. They are being deceived By demons. They actually believe that through prayer, these people can receive salvation even in death. They associate very much with the dead. The Pastor of the First Satanic Church, and the author of the Satanic Bible, is Anton LaVey. In his Satanic Bible, LaVey lists, under "In fernal Names," one of them as "Mormo," which is the God of the living dead, and the king of the Ghouls. The followers of Mormo, are called Mormons. Take that and chew on it a while. Coincidence? I don’t think so. The Mormon Church is the owner of the largest Genealogy center in the world, and they deal directly with the dead ancestors of the living. Mormon missionaries have had a hard time witnessing in China, and it is not because of it’s communists rule. It is because the word Mormon in Chinese means Gates of Hell.

Now let me give you a little History on the Mormon Church. In 1821 a young treasure seeker named Joseph Smith claimed to have had a vision from God. First he said it was from Jesus, then he said from Jesus and many angels, and then he said that it was from Jesus and God the Father. This is what they go by today. Mormons claim that Joseph Smith was visited by Jesus and God the father; but the Bible tells us that no man can look upon the face of God and live. He was also visited by a so-called angel named Moroni, who supposedly told him about a secret manuscript, written on golden plates, telling the true Gospel. And that he was to translate this into the Book of Mormon. Let me truly begin here and tell you what they believe. They believe that long ago from an unknown god ,and goddess, was born a man named Elohim who was later born to human parents, and he lived his life and became a god like his father. He is also claimed to have fathered many children. Two of them in particular are named: one is Jesus, and the other is Lucifer.

They decided to put all of Elohim’s many children on a planet, and that the planet needed a savior the bid, for it came down to Jesus and to Lucifer. But Jesus won out because he had unselfish reasons. But then Lucifer revolted and turned many of Elohim’s children against him, and they were banished to the earth, never to have physical bodies. The people who were on the side of Jesus were very light skinned. And the people who remained neutral in the battle, their skinned turned black and this is the Mormon explanation for the black race. They believe after that battle the people were sent to Earth, and Elohim came to earth, and had sex with Mary, and that is how Jesus came to Earth. They also believe that Jesus took three wives while on Earth: Mary, Martha, and Mary Magdalene. They also believe that Jesus fathered many Children during his time on Earth, and that Joseph Smith their founder was a direct descendant of Jesus. They believe that after a life of Mormonism and a Mormon marriage has taken place, that when they die they will become gods too. They also believe that they will have their own planet, and many goddess wives, and their job for eternity will be to populate the planets. I know how far fetched this all sounds, but these people actually believe this mess. Mormonism is a sex cult. And we never would have guessed any of this from those sweet family-oriented Mormon commercials on TV...........Thanks for your kind help Radictis; Here are the FACTS & TRUTHS about everything Demonic in Mormonism,........ http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/false_religions.htm#mormon
