Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is a title used for the leader of the LDS church?

Answer: prophet

Mormons believe the prophet, or President, is the mouth-piece of the Lord. He delivers messages from God to God's followers.

2. Who was the first leader of the LDS church?

Answer: Joseph Smith Jr.

Joseph Smith prayed to God about which church to join. Mormons believe he saw God and God told him that none of the churches were true. Joseph was then charged with restoring the fullness of the gospel to the world.

3. What state was founded by Mormons?

Answer: Utah

After severe persecution back East, the Mormons migrated out West and settled in Utah. They believed they would be safe from persecution way out there.

4. What are the special buildings called where Mormons get married and do baptisms for the dead?

Answer: temples

Latter-Day Saints have temples where worthy members of the faith go to worship God and do work for their ancestors. To learn more, you could visit www.mormon.org.

5. How old are children when they are baptized in the LDS church?

Answer: 8 years

The LDS church does not believe in baptizing infants. They believe that children do not become accountable for their actions until they are eight years old.

6. Along with the Bible, the LDS church has three companion books of scripture. Which of these is among them?

Answer: Book of Mormon

The Mormons believe the Book of Mormon is an ancient record of Christ's visit to the Americas. It does not replace the Bible, but works as a companion to the Bible. It is a second testament of Christ's divine mission. The other companion books are the Pearl of Great Price and the Doctrine and Covenants.

7. What is the LDS guidelines for health called?

Answer: Word of Wisdom

The Mormons believe the Word of Wisdom outlines things God wants us to do to stay healthy. It includes not drinking alcohol, not using tobacco, and staying away from coffee.

8. In the LDS church what does "The authority to act in God's name" refer to?

Answer: Priesthood

Mormons believe the Priesthood is the authority to act in God's name. It is the same power used by Christ in the Bible to raise the dead, heal the blind, and administer to those in need.

9. How much are Latter-Day Saints expected to pay in tithing?

Answer: 10 percent

A tithe is one-tenth of something, so tithing means paying 10 percent. Mormons pay 10 percent of their net income. This goes to building more temples, supporting the less fortunate, and many other righteous uses. It does not pay for the "luxurious" lives of the leadership of the church.

Many Mormons make larges donations to the Church, but that is in addition to their tithing commitment.

10. What is the name of the best-known college affiliated with the LDS church?

Answer: Brigham Young University

Brigham Young University is a primarily LDS college. It is a very prestigious college. Even those who are not LDS that attend BYU are required to take some type of religious class ranging from the Old Testament to the Book of Mormon.
