Questions about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, commonly known as Mormonism.

3,455 Questions

Why did the Mormons make so may enemies?

Before Joseph Smith had received the plates, these people were already opposing each other. Churches were persecuting churches long before the Mormon church was founded. When the Mormon church came about, they found something new to persecute. Look it up in Joseph Smith History.

Where did Steve Young go to college?

Steve Young attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

Is enrique iglesias Mormon?

No. Enrique Iglesias has never been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church).

Why do Mormons seem to have a foothold in Latin America?

Most Christian denominations have quite a foothold in Latin America because Latin American peoples tend to be more devoutly religious. An additional reason the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormons") might have a foothold among the poorer populations in Latin America is because the Church provides education funding, employment training, and welfare assistance to it's members.

Is Michael Jackson's mother a Mormon?

Yes, or at least she was at one point. Christina Aguilera's parents attended BYU and were married in an LDS (Mormon) Temple, but were divorced when Christina was a girl and it appears her mother stopped practicing Mormonism around the time of the divorce.

Is Gordon Hayward Mormon?

Gordon Hayward, recent NBA draft pick for the Utah Jazz, is not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church). Unofficial sources have said he is a Catholic.

Why did the Mormons encounter violent opposition to their new church in the 1800s?

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) were persecuted in the 1800's for many of the same reasons they are persecuted now. For the most part, they were persecuted because their beliefs were considered strange and different from mainstream culture. They believed and followed a living prophet and had different views on the trinity, the Bible, and other Christian beliefs. They were also hated for their conservative moral views and for influencing the politics of the regions they were in. From the early 1840's until 1890, a small number of Church members also practiced polygamy. Many persecuted them for this, and although the practice ended over a century ago, Mormons are still occassionally persecuted for it.

Is Jenette Mccurdy Mormon or Catholic?

Yes, she is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon). See http://www.heraldextra.com/content/view/297303/149 for information about an upcoming move she is in. She is referenced there as an LDS actress.

Is glen beck morman?

Glenn Beck himself is a Mormon (a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). There is no one Mormon that influences him, he comes up with his own ideas. So, I guess you could say that the Mormon that influences Glenn Beck is Glenn Beck!

Is Annasophia Robb a Mormon?

No one has asked her that question in the media, therefore no one knows. In an interview she said that she doesn't like to talk about religion publicly. If she believed that Jesus Christ was her Saviour, who died for her on the cross and gave her eternal life, then perhaps there would me more signs to this fact, since a comitted Christian tries to reflect their faith in every aspect of their life. So far, there is no exact information on the matter, and she doesn't seem to show much of her personal life to the public (which of course is completely understandable), so unfortunately unless you know her personally, there is no way to be sure about her opinion.
I write this as a Christian.

Will the mormon tabernacle choir be on tv this year?

This depends on where you live and whether or not you have cable.

A tool to find which local stations broadcast the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's weekly program, Music and the Spoken Word, can be found below under "Related Links".

You can also watch the program each week online. That link is also found below.

What is the connection between Martin Luther and Mormons?

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) and Lutherans share many common beliefs. Both groups believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world and the only way that mankind can receive Salvation. Both believe that the Bible is the Word of God. Both also believe that salvation comes in and through Jesus Christ. Both believe in the communion or Lord's supper (Mormons call it 'the sacrament') and both believe in baptism - although they might differ in how these ordinances are performed.

Is Martin short LDS?

No, Martin Short is not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church).

Is Ross Lynch Mormon?

Lynch gives absolutely no indication that he's remotely religious, one way or the other.

As per his Twitter feed, he appears to celebrate Christmas, but that is the extent to which the young musician/actor relates to anything in the religious spectrum.

Is there a monologue in the book of Mormon the musical?

Yes. There must be a few but the one that I know is the following:

When I was nine years old, my family took a trip to Orlando, Florida. And it was the greatest, the most magical place that I had ever seen. I said to myself, "this is where I want to spend eternity". My parents told me that if I made god proud and did what the church told me, then in latter days I could have whatever I wanted. So I worked and I worked and even when I was studying Mormon stories and I said to myself, "hmm, well that doesn't make any sense"... I kept working! Because I was told that one day I would get my reward, Planet Orlando! But what do I have now? I can't even get a ticket home...

Did Sylvester Stallone start going to the Mormon church in 2014?

No, Sylvester Stallone has never been a regular attender of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) and I haven't found any evidence that he has ever even set foot inside a Mormon church.

Are there any similarities between Mormonism and Judaism?

Yes there is.

1. They believe in Jesus Christ, though those of the Islamic faith believe Him to be a great teacher only, who is called The Sinless One. Mormons believe Him to be the Son of God.

2. Islam believes in the prophet muhammed, while Mormons believe that there is a living prophet upon the earth today, and will be prophets until the coming of the Lord.

3. Both religions believe in prayer as often as is necessary.

4. They have Holy Books which are read daily.

5. They believe in loving their neighbor and in doing good to all men. (Here we must exclude those whom we call terrorists. They do not live up to the teachings of their religion).

6. They both believe in strong family ties.

7. Both believe in Missionary work.

8. Temple are built for special sacred ordinances.

Is brooke white Mormon?

I'm pretty sure she's Mormon. Not a lot of people have heard about Mormons. The whole not watching R movies being modest and singing uplifting things...yeah...that's Mormon.

P.s. Ever notice how she doesn't swear? It's kind of nice.

Is Taylor Lautner Mormon?

I don't think so. Stephanie Meyer is a Mormon and he probably would have said something if he was.

NO! he is not a mormon!

I'm pretty sure he's Catholic. I could be wrong, you can check Wikipedia or any fansites. I know the author of the Twilightseries is Mormon, however.

Was Michael Landon a Mormon?

Michael Lloyd, Jr is a basketball player for Brigham Young University. In a video on his athelete profile, he says that he likes attending BYU because "They have good morals, you know, we stand for the same thing. They're Christian, I'm Christian." It never says that he is a baptized member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, nor do any other online sources.

I would assume by his comment that he is not a member of the Church, but belongs to another Christian denomination.

Was Fess Parker a Mormon?

No. Fess Parker was famous for being a wine maker. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) do not drink, sell, or produce alcoholic beverages.

You may have assumed that Fess Parker was Mormon because he was born on a farm near San Angelo, Texas, and there is a Fundamentalist LDS community near there. This FLDS community was formed in about 2004, 80 years after Fess Parker was born. The FLDS community is also not associated in any way with the mainstream Mormon church… they broke off from the Mormon church over 120 years ago in 1890.

Was Andy Williams a Mormon?

No, Andy Williams was never a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was, however, great friends with the Osmond family. He was instrumental in discovering the talented quartet of Osmond brothers and giving them national exposure on his television specials. Eventually Donny, Marie, and even Jimmy were introduced to the world, and the family remained friends with Williams until his death. Williams was always respectful of the church and its teachings because of his relationship with the Osmond family, but never converted to it.
