Joseph Smith, Jr. claimed to have been lead to buried ancient metal tablets by an angel. Joseph then translated these tablets and returned them to the angel. The translation of the tablets was published as The Book of Mormon. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) use the Book of Mormon as scripture along with The Bible.

The Book of Mormon tells the story of a group of people who left Jerusalem around the time of Jeremiah, having been warned of God of the coming Babylonian Captivity. God lead the group through the wilderness and across the ocean to the Americas. The Book of Mormon tells of their history, prophets, and religion between 600 BC and 400 AD, including a visit of Jesus Christ following His Ascension.

Who was Mormon's grandpa?

The Book of Mormon does not say who the prophet Mormon's grandfather was. He does say that his father was also named Mormon, but we don't know much else about his family.


Why were the hidden tablets relevant to the founding of Mormonism?

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) believe that an ancient American prophet named Moroni buried the scriptural and historic record of his people, written on metal tablets, in about the year 300 AD. In the 1820's, Moroni (as an angel) lead the young Joseph Smith to the place where these tablets were buried and instructed him on how to translate and publish them. The translation was published in 1830 as "The Book of Mormon". The Book of Mormon is one of the central focal points of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and has been described as the "Keystone" of Mormonism. If the Book of Mormon is not true, every claim of Mormonism would be false. If the Book of Mormon is true, than every claim of Mormonism is true. This is because the Book of Mormon proves the prophetic calling of Joseph Smith and thus substantiates every single thing he did and taught as he founded the Church. Without the Book of Mormon, there would be no Mormonism; and without Mormonism, there would be no Book of Mormon.

What two religions have scripture from Gold Tablets delivered by an angel?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believes that the Book of Mormon was written on golden colored (although not necessarily the metal gold) plates, delivered to the prophet Joseph Smith by the Angel Moroni. Joseph Smith then translated the plates by the power of God and published the writings as The Book of Mormon. Mormons use the Book of Mormon side-by-side with the Bible. Other religious groups which have broken off from the Mormon Church, such as the Community of Christ and the Apostolic United Brethren also use the Book of Mormon as scripture.

Are brewer's yeast tablets as effective as the powder?

I would say no, the recommended dosage for the powder is 2 tablespoons a day, where as the tablets are taken as 6 tablets a day, you would have to take about 30 odd tablets to equal the same amount in powder, as well the tablets only have small amounts of b vitamins in them, plus they have fillers etc which are not good.


Is Shawn white Mormon?

I will assume you are referring to Shaun White, the snowboarder. No, he is not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church). Some sources say that he is a Protestant Christian but do not specify which denomination, and others say that he is Jewish.


How is the Mormon tea able to survive in the desert?

Mormon Tea isn't really a tea per-say. It's more like a shrub that grows in the desert. Mormon Pioneers brewed it into a tea, hence the name Mormon Tea. It basically has the same chemical properties as sudafed so it's really good for clearing up allergies.
