While Mormons claim to value the Bible, their belief system includes a major caveat: they believe it has been corrupted over time. Discover how the Book of Mormon and modern prophets shape the LDS perspective on the Holy Scriptures.

Mormonism teaches a different gospel—one that requires temple ordinances, obedience to laws, and modern prophets. Could Paul’s warning about “another gospel” apply to Mormonism today?

People join Mormonism for different reasons, and also leave for different reasons, but leaving is usually difficult no matter what the motive.

Mormons and non-Mormons often don’t understand each other, but relate to one another through mere labels and stereotypes.

Active Mormons don’t just “go to church”. The LDS Church is central to all of the activities and relationships of their lives.

The LDS Church controls billions of dollars of investments, while demanding their members to pay at full 10% tithe.

Although the LDS Church no longer practices plural marriage, polygamy is deeply embedded in LDS history with effects that remain to this day.

Temples have a central role in the LDS Church, implying that Mormonism reflects the practices of the Bible. Yet Mormon temples bear no resemblance to the biblical temple.

Latter-day Saints have several practices that set them apart from others. Some of these have biblical support while others do not.

Joseph Smith claimed that the Book of Mormon is the most correct book ever written, but too many elements of the book don’t match the time and place where it supposedly took place.

What kind of beings are we, and how do we relate to God and everything God made? Let’s take a look at how Mormonism answers those questions.

What we believe about God is probably the most important thing we can believe. Everything else in a world view starts with our concept of God. So let’s try to understand what Mormonism says about God so we can compare our own beliefs.
