Why do we need to explain Mormonism ?
"Mormonism is based on belief in Jesus as the Messiah, in the Israelites (including the Ten Lost Tribes) as a covenant people, and in scriptures such as the Bible and the Book of Mormon."
This very short definition of Mormon beliefs is accurate and it is taken from wikipedia. However, there is a lot more to be said and even wikipedia leaves many questions opened since it tries to be "neutral" and to avoid offending anybody.
The problem with that approach is that faith and religion can’t be "neutralized" since in that way they lose their power for good.
This site therefore is an attempt to explain what Mormonism truly is from the point of view and the lived experience of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church).
We are aware that other churches or groups not linked to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that can consider themselves "Mormons" or that "Mormonism" may be used to describe the beliefs of those groups, but in this site Mormonism is synonimous of beliefs of the official Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
