mythbusters about mormons

Their is tons of myths and false statements about Mormons out there. Understanding is the key to this blog, i want the every one to understand the trueth about Mormons. So i will answer three common myths. If you have questions or more myth want answered please just comment. I have pulled almost all my information from our church website called Mormon.org. you can go there for more information about your church. All truth comes from God comfirmed by the Holy Spirit

Myth 1
That mormons practice polygamy. . This Church has nothing whatever to do with those practicing polygamy. They are not members of this Church We believe marriage is ordained of God. It is a special bond for us to grow and have family's. At various times, the Lord has commanded His people to practice plural marriage.For example, He gave this command to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, and Solomon. In this dispensation, the Lord commanded some of the early Saints to practice plural marriage. Church leaders regulated the practice. The Lord’s law of marriage is monogamy unless he commands otherwise to help establish the House of Israel.

Myth 2
The Book of Mormon is our verison of the Bible. Is one troubles me the most for on the cover of the book is states that it is another testament of Christ. Mean that we believe in the bible is word of God. The Book of Mormon is another witness that Jesus Christ really lived, that He was and is God’s Son. It contains the writings of ancient prophets.One of these, Lehi, lived in Jerusalem around 600 B.C. God commanded Lehi to lead a small group of people to the American continent. There they became a great civilization.
God continued to call prophets among these people. The Book of Mormon is a collection of the writings of their prophets and record keepers.As you study the scriptures, you will grow closer to God and be better able to live righteously. Scripture study will bring you more joy, hope, and understanding of God’s plan and your place in that plan it.The Book of Mormon concludes with a great promise that those who read it and sincerely pray about it can know by the Holy Ghost that it is true (Moroni 10:4).

Myth 3
We not believe in Christ, and we worship Joseph Smith. The True name of our church is THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS , so his name is the name of our church.  We know that Jesus Christ is the literal Son of God. His birth, life, death, and resurrection fulfilled the many prophecies contained in the scriptures concerning the coming of a Savior. He was the Creator, He is our Savior, and He will be our Judge (see Isaiah 9:6, 53:3-7; Psalms 22:16-18). About us worshiping Joseph smith, President Gordon B. Hinckley, prior president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints made the following statement in 2005 about Joseph Smith:

“We do not worship [Joseph Smith] the Prophet. We worship God our Eternal Father and the risen Lord Jesus Christ. But we acknowledge the Prophet; we proclaim him; we respect him; we reverence him as an instrument in the hands of the Almighty in restoring to the earth the ancient truths of the divine gospel, together with the priesthood through which the authority of God is exercised in the affairs of His Church and for the blessing of His people” (Gordon B. Hinckley, “Joseph Smith Jr.—Prophet of God, Mighty Servant,” Ensign, Dec 2005, 2–6).
