Y I care is Just because I want to learn about new religions. If you r not gonna anwer the question I asked then dont answer it at all!

Answer 1

It not like rules, they are commandments that we follow. We have:

*Law of chastity: No sexual behavior if it is not with your spouse. It is also not having sexual thoughts and the way you dress.

*Word of wisdom: Take care of your body because your body is your temple and the temple of the Holy Spirit. In order to follow that, we avoid drugs, tobacco, alcohol, tea and coffee, the last two ones because "hot drinks are not for the body nor for the belly." We avoid anything that can lead to an addiction because we are not supposed to be addicted to anything but God's love.

*Law of tithing: We pay 10% of our earnings. It is a commandment, word of God.

*Sabbath day: We save the sabbath day (Sunday) because it is the Lord's day. We don't buy that day (unless it is really neccesary) and we just go to church and spend time with family and friends and read scriptures. Chill at home.

*Fasting: The first Sunday of the month we fast and give our testimonies at church. There are people that fay fasting donations. By fasting you get blessings.

Answer 2

To begin with, the actual name of our church is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We prefer to be referred to as LDS. "Mormon" is a nick name.

Check out our official web site (link below). There are links where you can ask for the Missionaries in your area to come tell you more. You can also receive a FREE copy of the Bible (KJV) and/or the Book of Mormon. You can also locate your nearest meeting house and attend services. First Sunday is usually the best. That day is set aside for fasting and for the members to bear their testimonies of the truthfullness of the Gospel to the congregation. Kinda like "open mike night". There is also many other freebies the Church sends out: videos, pamphlets, etc. All without obligation. Please don't let the former members of our faith dissway you from your investigation. Study and make your own decision.

Answer 3

That is such a broad question, where would I start?

The Mormon religion is otherwise known as "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". As the name suggests, we believe in Jesus Christ, that he is our Saviour, etc. We believe that we need to try and perfect ourselves, ie, become "saints". We believe we are living the the "last days" before the second coming of Christ. We learn many practical and spiritual things to prepare us for hard times, so that we can help humanity and be as self-reliant as possible, within our family groups.

Family is very important to us, and we believe that we can be together as family units in eternity. We also believe in eternal progression, ie, that there is no end to the learning and growth that we can achieve by following the laws and guidance of God.

As some others have suggested here, read the Book of Mormon as a start.

You can read it online here:
http://scriptures.lds.org/en/bm/contents

Alternatively, go to http://www.mormon.org and you can ask to be contacted directly by the missionaries. They will give you a free copy of the Book of Mormon.

If you have any more questions, feel free to email me! I, too, am very curious about other religions, and would love to learn what you know, too.

Answer 10

They aren't rules, but choices. No one HAS to obey them but most members do. We don't do drugs, drink coffee/tea, we abstain from pre-marital sex. We are encouraged not to date until we are sixteen and also encouraged not to have a second set of earrings (besides the one pair in our ears). We wear modest clothing (no visible midriffs, sleevless, short shorts, or low cut shirts). We watch clean movies (no rated R) and this applies to all media. We don't swear . . . Once you learn the reasons for these things and you live them and have no problem following them.
