In Russia we know only the man- Mormon can have many wives at the same time. Is it true?.I`m an Ortodox, and I`m not going to become Mormon ever, I just curious.Thank you

Answer 1

Mormons are a cult who believe in very strange things that I am sure you would never have heard of unless you studied them or were part of there religion. They believe Jesus and Satan were brothers. Also they consider there prophet Joseph Smith who started this religion to be greater then Jesus. Mormon Jesus is not like the Jesus you worship because the Jesus we worship is the only begotten Son of God.

Answer 2

Mormons believe in an "open canon" which means they can add books (i.e. Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, and Doctrine & Commandments) that violate the warnings given in scripture that forbids from doing so, (e.g. Deut. 4:2; 12:32; Prov. 30:6; Rev. 21:18-19) Therefore their teachings of Christ are foreign to biblical and historical Christianity violating Gal. 1: 8-9; and Jude v3. This is not the Christ nor the gospel "that was once delivered to the saints." But became the manufactured gospel that a Master Mason, (Joseph Smith) who claimed to have special powers to interpret through a 'peeping stone' had... That no one else could.

I lived in Utah for a 5 years...and though I'm not Mormon, I must have met 200 or so... They're very good hearted people. The Mormon kids that I went to school with didnt use profanity, and dressed cute BUT conservatively. I guess some of them don't believe in drinking caffiene....Most of them AREN'T polygamists. I NEVER met a polygamist while I was there. A lot of Mormons have many children.
I like Mormons.

Here is the church's other official website for people interested in learning about the church. This link should be the russian version.

Answer 5

Mormons can only have one wife at a time. If one dies, they can get remarried. If they get a divorce they can get married to someone else, but Mormons can't be polygamists.

Answer 6

We Mormons dont have many husbands (not wives the men) and we believe in modern revelation, we have a prophet and twelve apostles just as Jesus organized His church.

We believe in God The Father, Jesus The Son, and The Holy Ghost as three different persons separated one from the other, we don't have a paid clergy and our authorities in the church are selected by inspiration.

Answer 7

Mormons do not practice polygamy. Even in cultures where polygamy is acceptable (some Muslim countries, for example), Mormons NEVER have more than one wife. Any member found to have more than one wife is excommunicated.

Those that practice polygamy in Utah and Arizona are not Mormons. They belong to separate religions (usually FLDS).

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) is a beautiful Christian religion. Because Mormons believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ and consider Him to be the way to salvation, they are clearly a Christian denomination. It is true that they are not an orthodox denomination (they are neither Protestant, Catholic, nor Eastern Orthodox), because they don't accept the post-New Testament creeds, but their Christ-centered theology clearly qualifies them for the Christian label.

Most objective scholars agree that Mormons are Christian. Consider this quote from an academic book entitled “Anthology of World Scriptures” by Robert E. Van Voorst.

“…the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints…see themselves as Christian, and most experts in comparative religions would view this labeling as basically correct. That they…accept the Christian Bible as their first cannon is a good indicator of this. Moreover, “outsiders” to [Christianity], such as Buddhists, would almost certainly recognize them as belonging to the stream of Christian tradition.”

Likewise, a recent poll showed that the majority of Americans believe that Mormons are Christians.

You should be extremely careful when trying to learn about Mormons from others. There are many who hate the Mormons and spread lies, distortions, and conspiracy theories about them. Others think they understand Mormon doctrine because of "what they've heard," but are actually misinformed.

Because Mormons are Christian, we believe in most of the things that Christians believe, including:

1) Christ is divine and salvation comes only through Him.
2) The Bible is the word of God.
3) Men ought to love one another.

Mormons are a unique branch of Christianity, however. We are neither Catholic nor Protestant, so naturally we have some different beliefs. Most of the differences are minor. One significant difference has to do with the authority to act in God's name. Mormons believe that soon after the death of Christ and His apostles, the early Christian Church was greatly influenced by Greek and Roman philosophies and political pressures. Despite the efforts of many good men and women, the true Church of Christ was eventually lost because of these outside pressures and internal, man-made changes. Mormons believe that God reestablished the original Church of Christ in 1820 through a man named Joseph Smith.

Hope this helps! Mormon Christianity has changed my life by helping me better follow Jesus Christ.

Answer 8

Beware of those who condemn the LDS too strongly. Their beliefs are no more odd than anyone else who believes that Jesus was born of a virgin, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven.

Joseph Smith was basically a horny, lonely adolescent, who came up with this translation of his golden tablets, much like Mohammed and the Koran.
