Q: Can the Bible and Book of Mormon both be right?

A: Absolutely. We believe that both are true, that both are the word of God: we believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. (Click here for other articles of our faith.)

I have heard quite a few arguments against the Book of Mormon. Some people love to attack its authenticity, and there are respected scholars on both sides of the issue. I applaud those whose scholarly work seeks to determine the truth. But a truth as important as this only comes from the Source of all truth.

My answer to anyone wondering about the Book of Mormon is simple: read the Book of Mormon with an open mind, an open heart, and ask God. Give it a try--God will answer you, in a way only God can, that it is true. Don't take my word for it, take His.

I have done it. It works.

Q: Why are you called Mormons?

Of course, the best way to learn more about Mormons is to talk to your Mormon friends or sit down with a Mormon missionary. But until then, ask, read, and enjoy!


A: The short answer is that our nickname "Mormons" comes from one of our books of scripture, The Book of Mormon. We believe that, like the Bible, The Book of Mormon contains the words of God given to ancient prophets. The Book of Mormon is a collection of such writings, compiled by a prophet/historian named Mormon, who lived on the American continent 400 years after Christ. The name Mormon has become a nickname for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its members.
