Saints Unscripted

Mormons don't use the symbol of the cross nearly as often as many other Christian religions. Do Mormons believe that Jesus died on the cross?    In this episode, Kwaku, Justin and David talk about how though Mormons believe that Jesus was crucified on the cross, Mormons haven't been ones to adorn the cross. David argues that the frequent use of the cross just hasn't even been a 'thing' f...

If Mormons believe in the necessity of being baptized in the LDS Church, does that mean they believe that everyone else is going to go to hell?!    The short answer is no, we do not believe that everyone who isn't Mormon is going to go to hell.

As a Latter-day Saint (or as a member of a different religion), you'll likely find that you're a little bit (maybe even a lotta bit) different than your peers.

Because it's different than the norm, we are sometimes afraid to defend our beliefs when they are called into qu...
