Frequently Asked Questions

Do Mormons practice polygamy?

Ryan. answered...

No. Mormons do NOT practice polygamy. There are many people outside the Church that say otherwise, but that doesn't change the truth of the matter. There is nobody living on this earth right now who can truly claim to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who practices polygamy. It is against the law, both of the land and of the Church. We do not approve of such things. There are some groups of people who do practice this and also claim to be Mormons, but I assure you that they are not in any way affiliated with this Church. Show more Show less

Shannon answered...

No, Mormons or members of The Church of Jesus Christ do not practice polygamy. The church has nothing whatsoever to do with the practice of polygamy. People who practice polygamy are not Mormons or members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If any members of the church are found practicing plural marriage, they are excommunicated, which is the most serious penalty the Church can impose. Not only are those involved in direct violation of the civil law, they are in violation of the law of this Church. Show more Show less

Are Mormons Christians?

Damion answered...

My short answer is yes. This is because I define Christian as one who believes that the Jesus of the Bible is the Messiah, the Saviour, the only way back to God, our Lord and Master, our advocate with the Father. Where people get confused is we believe more about Jesus than most Christians. We believe that he is Jehovah of the Old Testament. We believe that by his hands the Earth was made. We believe that in order to be our advocate with the Father – he cannot be the same as God the Father. Stephen of the New Testament saw them both and Jesus was often talking to the Father. Instead of a trinity, we look at them as “one” team, not some unusual three-in-one being. We know we were made in the image of God, but we are individuals and not three in one folk. We believe that He loves all people. We also believe that Jesus visited other sheep after his death – even the American Indians. The record of their dealings with him is the Book of Mormon. Thus, it does not replace the Bible, but is a companion scripture to it. And when God provides more records of Christ’s words and dealings with man – we will be ready to accept them too. Are we Christians? Yes. Are we the same as other Christians? No. Does that make other Christ believing people not Christian? No, they are still Christian. Show more Show less
