What is the deal with Mormonism?

Mormon's (or The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints aka LDS) believe in the return of Prophets and Apostles to the latter days, that proclaim God's word to the people. The LDS Church does believe in the Bible (King James Version, unedited) but also has another book (The Book of Mormon) which has given the nickname to the church of "Mormons". The Book of Mormon testifies of Christ and his divinity and His coming to the America's after His death and resurrection. While the LDS church does have Prophets and Apostles, they do not worship them but instead the Prophet and Apostles also testify to the church membership of Christ's life and teachings. The LDS church is stated by many groups that they believe they are the only true religion. The LDS church got this reputation due to the fact that they are the only church with certain practices that take place in Temples but do not go against anything in the Bible, but rather support it. The LDS church does not believe people of other religions are evil or anything, they just believe that they do not have the full knowledge of God that is available to those who read the Book of Mormon and attend the LDS Temples. There are groups who speak out against the LDS church for the practice of having Temples and state that evil rites take place in the Temples or that Mormons are not Christians. There are many different arguments both for and against the Mormon church that ultimately come down to ones belief of their own religion or their beliefs of life in general.

Do any non-LDS student athletes at BYU receive scholarships for the full amount of their tuition?

Yes. Sometimes. I just want to say that BYU would do the same thing for Non-LDS and they would for LDS students. If they felt that the student was deserving, it wouldn't matter if they were LDS or not. The LDS church doesn't work like that. I know, I'm a member.

Where do you get white lds scriptures?

LDS scriptures with a white cover are typically only found in LDS temples. They are produced by the Church but are not available to the general public or church membership through LDS Distribution. Cover colors available to the public are black, blue, green, and burgundy. You might try asking at the nearest temple if you can get a copy of their white scriptures when they are worn out and being replaced, you might be able to get a copy that way. Occassionaly used temple copies will show up on Ebay as well.
