Hi, I'm Nicola

I´m a Mormon.

About Me

I am 29 years old and dreading turning 30, I feel very old. :) I am a full time mum which I think is the hardest but best job in the world! I have three beautiful boys whom I adore and they keep me very busy. I love to scrapbook or make cards or doodle. :) Music is my passion so I love to dance and sing.

Why I am a Mormon

I love my Saviour Jesus Christ and my Heavenly Father. I know that I am a member of the true and living church of Jesus Christ on the earth today. I know that life is hard but I know that Heavenly Father knows me, He listens to me and helps me to accomplish the tasks I set out to do. I know that the Book of Mormon truly is another testament of Jesus Christ, it has helped me so much in my life and continues to help me to know my Saviour and to receive the answers to my problems and weaknesses.

Personal Stories

Why do Mormons do family history or genealogy work?

the family is the centre of our religion. We try to get to know our ancestors through our family history work and find out any other information we can about them. We know that our Heavenly Father loves all of His children and we want our ancestors to receive the blessings of gospel of Jesus Christ and know the truth.

How I live my faith

Everyday I try to be the best mum I can be and share my love with my sons and not freak out over all the mischievious things that they do. :) I try to be a support and a friend to my wonderful husband. I am the best friend that I can be to all that I know, I am always ready to help in any way that I can. I am blessed with such special friends in my life.

What is the role of the husband and the wife in the family?

Nicola answered...

The husband and wife love and support eachother and work together. The husband provides for and protects the family. And if possible the wife takes care of the children and the home, she teaches and loves.
Katie answered...

Husband and wife in a marriage are meant to be equal, partners. The husband is the head of the household and is responsible for the temporal welfare of his family. His role is to support his wife. The wife is also to support her husband and to nurture her family both spiritually and emotionally. Husband and wife are meant to work side by side in providing a safe haven from the world for their family. Their roles are different, but equally important and essential to building the family and the community.

Why do some call Mormonism a cult?

Lynn answered...

Some call Mormonism a cult because it is not a "traditional" Christian church. The primary complaint of the "traditionalists" (generally Protestant Churches) is that we do not believe in the doctrine of the trinity as it relates to the nature of the Godhead. The doctrine of the trinity was codified in the Nicene Creed in 325 AD, many years after the death of Christ and the Apostles. It basically says that the Godhead, The Father, Son and Holy Ghost, are one being in "substance." Since Mormonism does not accept this doctrine, they say we believe in a different Christ than they do and therefore are a cult. It is curious that this "trinitarian" doctrine is not taught anywhere in the Bible.

Mormons believe the Bible is the Word of God. The Bible (and the early church established by Jesus and His Apostles) teaches that the Godhead indeed consists of The Father, Son and Holy Ghost. But, it teaches that they are: 1) three distinct individuals as expressed in Acts 7:54-60 where Stephen is being stoned. "He being filled with the Holy Ghost looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw Jesus standing on the right hand of God." And it teaches 2) they are one in purpose, not in substance (John 17 where Jesus offers his intercessory prayer, particularly verses 20-23.) This is what Mormons believe.

It is noteworthy that the early Christians were called the "sect of the Nazarenes" (Acts 24:5) and were considered a cult by the Sadducees and Pharisees, the predominant religions of the day.
