Mormon Religion: Myths and Reality - Mormonism

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Zsvml57PE is a video describing how to learn more about the Mormon Church.

Steve Young, a former NFL quarterback, and Sharlene Hawkes, a former Miss America, address some of the common misconceptions people have about Mormons or "Mormonism". Topics they address include Church growth, Christianity, polygamy, temples, humanitarian outreach, beliefs and family.

Video produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For more information, visit http://www.mormon.org.

First of all, can't be Christian, if you disbelieve the holy bible and use another book as the truth. You speak of following the messiah but yet you put dark skinned people as an undeserving of the message when the bible clearly speaks an Ethiopian was baptized.

1. We don't "disbelive the holy bible." We believe the Bible is the word of God, as well as the Book of Mormon.

2. We absolutely do not "put darkskinned poeple as undeserving of the message." Missionaries are in every country in the world where they are allowed and invite ALL to come unto Christ, regardless of race or skin color.

I still find it fascinating that so many people seem to associate ONLY the Full time missionaries as Mormons. I have also talked to people who say that there are no Mormons in their town. They say there's no listing in the phone book, but they are looking for "The Mormon Church". When they look for the CofJCofLDS, they find that there are LOTS of Mormons and they are so surprised! If they were to attend worship services, they would be surprised at who they know!

I was also taught that in order for my faith to increase, I needed to pray every day. In fact, I needed to pray always

In the Book of Mormon, we read about Alma the Younger counseling his wayward son. Corianton had made some serious mistakes while serving a mission among the Zoramites. Alma loved him enough to speak very directly to the problem. He expressed his deep disappointment that his son had been immoral and explained to him the serious consequences of sin.

I've always been a bit perplexed by Mormons' insistence on being regarded as "Christian" when their beliefs are radically different in almost every way. I mean, even the very nature of God and Jesus are radically different. Why not admit and embrace the differences and stop trying so hard to "join the club" when it's not really possible to do so? Not looking to bash anyone here, just honestly bewildered on that point. Even Jos. Smith was honest enough to admit it in his time.

Thank you for sharing the video with us; I'm not Mormon but I appreciate it, since it answers questions that I had. The amount of myths that the general public believe (as you can see from these comments alone) astound me. People, instead of keeping yourself ignorant, just go talk to a missionary.
