Introducing Mormon FAQ
Welcome to MormonFAQ
The Christus in the visitors' center of the Salt Lake
This site was created to answer your questions about the Mormon Church, properly called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Although there are nearly 14,000,000 Latter-day Saints around the world, and although it is the fourth largest church in the United States, many people still know very little about the Church and its doctrines. Many misperceptions persist, sometimes because people simply need to be informed, and sometimes because detractors purposely defame the Church. This site is comprised of responses to both. However, it is not meant to be a forum for debate or name-calling. We welcome your sincere questions and comments and will use them to expand the site.
Notice that there are tabs at the top of the page. The “About” tab contains articles that will give you a basic introduction to Mormonism. You’ll find articles with titles such as “About Temples,” and “About Mormon History.” The “50 Answers” tab contains short answers to challenges from contending ministries. The “FAQs” tab contains questions we’ve received on this and other sites and articles that answer each one. The “Mormon Glossary” tab contains a dictionary of terms commonly used in the Church. Sometimes a discussion of religion is hampered because different vocabulary is used in different faiths.
We hope this website will be helpful to you in understanding a little about Mormonism and Mormons.

Polygamy has been practiced by many of the Lord’s most valiant servants, such as Abraham and Jacob. Mormons believe that families of the righteous are sealed together in the eternities, so it goes to follow that those unions are still intact. Therefore, there are some polygamous families in heaven. Polygamy is only an acceptable option when the Lord approves of it and it is practiced according to the laws of God. In the Book of Mormon, in the book of Jacob, the prophet Jacob calls his people to task for their unrighteousness. The Lord says that if He desires to raise up seed unto Himself, He will command the people, but for them at that time, they were only to have one wife. So monogamy and polygamy are true principles when governed by God.
Why do male members of lds wore white long sleeve or short sleeve shirt?
They don’t. Mormon missionaries wear dark suits and white dress shirts while they are serving. They also wear a badge to identify themselves. Male members of the Church wear dress-suits to church meetings, but unless they are blessing or passing the sacrament, their shirts can be any color. For work or recreation male members of the Church wear the same kind of clothing as other people in the culture where they reside. Thanks for asking.
