"CREATION: By: Kaufmann Kohler, Emil G. Hirsch The bringing into existence of the world by the act of God. Most Jewish philosophers find in (Gen. i. 1) creation ex nihilo (). The etymological meaning of the verb , however, is "to cut out and put into shape," and thus presupposes the use of...

Joseph Smith believed that "God," or "Gods," created our sun and solar system, including the earth, by pushing matter together. In the 19th century, astronomers believed, or assumed, that our sun would burn, produce heat and light, forever. They didn't know how the sun produced light and heat so...

This lady with the interesting name has written two children's books (one for girls, and one for boys) on the subject of 'heavenly mother', so this popular LDS YouTube channel interviews her on the topic. The video is pure LDS propaganda (as you'd expect), but even then I find it interesting...

Hi All, This is my first post on Christian Forums and I am looking for advice. While I am still pretty young, twenty years old, dating is something I don't take lightly. A few months ago, I met my current boyfriend and we fell in love. He is the kindest person I've met and I feel like he...

"From the fact that records are kept in heaven (such as the Book of Life), we deduce that there must necessarily be recording angels; that is, some ministering servants must be assigned there to keep the records. Knowing what we do of the importance of record keeping, and knowing that our...

As many of your already know, I am always on the lookout for intersections of the BOM/LDS and language (in their apologetics, pseudo-academic studies, etc.) due to my own background as a linguist, but I know there are also related disciplines from which the LDS religion likes to borrow in an...

Howdy, I am Matt Sabey. I am a Mormon, and firmly believe my religion is lead by God, and holds so much beautiful truth. However, I think all religions can learn from each others unique perspectives. I know most religions have people who can say just as emphatically that they believe or even...

A lot of people are against the religion, and honestly I don't really know why. For as much as I've looked into it, it is still a religion like any other, still Christian even, and doesn't seem to raise a red flag for me. My boyfriend of two years is Mormon and I am a Protestant Christian...

Hi everyone, JIMINZ and I were chatting over on this thread (Why are Mormons hated by other Christians?), and started to get a little off topic, so came here to continue the conversation and not derail the other thread. Her/his question were: I'll address one common is conception first, and...

Acts 11:26 reveals that the disciples of Christ “were called Christians first in Antioch”. Around 40 AD. Alma 46:13,15, dated at 73 B.C., has people already wearing the name “Christian” which is a 100 year difference. Which is true and why?

Ether 9:19 speaks of elephants existing in America around 2250 BC. However, elephants have NEVER been native to America. In fact, history PROVES that the first elephant was brought to the US in 1796.

If the Book of Mormon is the “most correct book ever written,” why were there more than 3,900 changes between the first few editions, many quite significant? For example, the first Book of Mormon references King Benjamin on p.200.4 Later on, the name is changed to Mosiah. The names are not...

Christian: There is only one God. (Isaiah 43:11; 44:6, 8; 45:5). Mormon: "And they (the Gods) said: Let there be light: and there was light." (Book of Abraham 4:3). Christian: God has always been God. (Psalm 90:2; Isaiah 57:15). Mormon: "God himself was once as we are now, and is an...
