Mormon
Quorum Sensing
It's
a great conversation starter
on the silly side of Mormonism.
I'm sure you've heard most of these at one time or another.
The
list is divided into two sections - Mormon Church teachings
that have documented citations, and
those still missing in our
Sacred Mormon Cosmology.

Great to Share with believing Mormons
Great
to share with non-believers too
This
list is great to share with Believing Mormons
because most of these teachings have solid references
or are still taught from the pulpit.
Mormon Cosmology and Linguistics
- God says the correct name for our Sun is "Shinehah," which
is the name He gave it. Also, the correct name of the moon is "Olea."
See Abraham 3:13.
- God lives on a giant crystal ball. See D&C 130:6-8.
- God's home planet orbits a star named "Kolob." See Abraham
3:3
- Kolob is "the great governing star of our universe" and
"the residence of God." See Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith's
"Church History and Modern Revelation" Volume 3, Page 60.
- The Sun "borrows it's light from Kolob through the medium of
Kae-e-vanrash.. which governs fifteen other fixed planets or stars..
and receives light from the revolutions of Kolob." This quote comes
directly from the Book of Abraham, Facsimile Number 2, Explanation for
Figure 5. Also see: http://nowscape.com/mormon/kolob-defined.htm
- The Sun is a celestialized world, where its inhabitants are perfected.
The Prophet Brigham Young taught in General Conference: "So it
is with regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited?
I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question
of it; it was not made in vain. It was made to give light to those who
dwell upon it, and to other planets; and so will this earth when it
is celestialized." See Journal of Discourses, 13:271. Also see
Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, Volume 1 Page
88: "Earth to be Celestialized Sun"
- The Earth will undergo a perfection after the millenium and become
a huge seer stone of glass. People living on the Earth after this transformation
will be able to look into the Earth and see things happening on "inferior"
kingdoms (planets). See D&C 130:9
- God's home planet, Kolob, is at the center of our Galaxy, which all
other stars rotate around. See Clark, J. Reuben Jr., "Behold the
Lamb of God," page 46, "Kolob, the Governor"
- The Earth actually has a spirit, just like we do. It had to be baptized
(the flood) to fulfill all righteousness, just like us. It will also
have to receive the baptism of fire (at the second coming of Christ)
in order to receive its exaltation and become a celestialized world.
See Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith's "Doctrines of Salvation,"
Volume 1, pages 73-74, page 87 "Celestial Destiny of the Earth."
See also Moses Chapter 7:48-49, 56 where the Earth's spirit speaks with
Enoch.
- When Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden, the Earth was closely
orbiting Kolob, like God's home planet. But when Adam and Eve fell,
so did the Earth and it was hurled across the cosmos and placed in orbit
around our sun in this planetary system. After the Millenium, the Earth
will return to its rightful place near God, orbiting Kolob. See Church
Ensign, March 1997, Page 16 "The Book of Abraham: A Most Remarkable
Book," and Journal of Discourses, 17:143 and Journal of Discourses
7:163
- Black Holes are "outer darkness" where God will cast those
sons of perdition that deny His spirit. This includes all Ex-Mormons.
See "The Creation," page 146 and D&C 101:90-91
- The light of Christ is the light coming from the Sun and the Moon.
See D&C 88:7. (The "light" refered to may very well be
literal, as well as figurative and symbolic, speaking about Christ's
influence.)
- Kolob is the North Star, according to Joseph Smith. Taught by LDS
Church Institute Instructor, but still need reference.
-
Creation
- Joseph Smith taught that the Earth was created like a cake, from
ingredients of different ages. Just like a cake was made from wheat
that is a year old, eggs from a few days and milk fresh this morning
from the cow, so too, the Earth is made from parts of different ages.
See Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pages 350-352.
- God created everything twice, just like Plato said. First there
was a spiritual creation, and then there was a physical creation.
See Moses 3:5, 6:51 and Endowment Ceremony.
- God did not create the physical Earth Himself. Actually, all of
us helped out. Under the direction of Jesus and Adam, we created the
Earth. Some of us created trees, others created rocks and still others
created animals, based on God's blueprints. See Abraham 3:22-24, Doctrines
of Salvation, Vol. 1, pages 74-75.
- God can't get his story straight about which order he created the
Earth. The order of the days of creation in Moses contradicts the
order given in the Temple Endowment, which are both inspired truth.
The third day (creation of life, vegetation and seeds) and fourth
day (creation of light, moon and stars) of creation are switched in
the temple ceremony, whereas Moses matches the order of Genesis. See
Moses 2:9-19 and Temple Ceremony (all versions).
- God created the Earth first, then He created the Sun, Moon and stars
and the rest of the universe. On the first day of creation God creates
the earth (see Moses 2:2-5). On the second day, God creates earth's
oceans and the atmosphere (see Moses 2:6-8). On the third day, God
separates the land from the water and creates vegetation, fruits and
trees (see Moses 2:9-13). Finally, on the fourth day, God creates
the Sun, Moon and stars (see Moses 2:14-19).
- Mars and Venus have dry rivers that match perfectly with rivers
on Earth, proving that parts of all three were "organized"
from parts of a same old planet. Scientists say the moon was formed
out of the Earth, why not the other planets too? Still need reference.
Taught by LDS Church apostle during stake fireside, but still need
reference.
-
Extra-Terrestrials
- There are human beings on many other planets that look just like
us because they too, are in the image of God. See New Era Article
"People on Other Worlds" April 1971.
- UFOs are from the City of Enoch, that was raised to heaven because
the citizens attained perfection. City of Enoch story is in the Pearl
of Great Price, but UFO connection made by LDS Church Seminary teacher.
Still need reference.
- Joseph Smith taught that the Ten Lost Tribes had gone to the North
Pole, as it used to be warm, but God divided the Earth in two and
they wound up between Texas and Florida. Then God scooped them up,
leaving a big hole called the Gulf of Mexico. And these millions of
Hebrews are today on this island floating around in the solar system,
but we can't see them because God has them flying at an angle where
the telescopes can't pick them up. But one day the island will crash
back into the Gulf and the earth will reel to and fro like a drunken
man.
-
See http://www.codeco.com/rcf/mhistdoc/enoch.htm
for many scriptural and Joseph Smith prophetic references.
- UFOs are from the lost ten tribes, which live underneath the north
pole. As explained in the Doctrine and Covenants, these tribes will
return by flight from the north in the Last Days. See D&C 110:11
and 133:26.
- Earth is the most evil of all of God's worlds in the Universe. See
Moses 7:36
- God sent Christ here because it was the only world that was wicked
enough to kill Jesus. Common teaching from LDS Church Seminary teachers,
but still need reference.
- All of the other planets in the universe with God's children have
prophets who preach to them about Christ's life, death and resurrection
on Earth. Just as our prophets tell us that other worlds have human
life on them, so to, true prophets on other worlds teach the life
of Christ as he lived it on this Earth. See November 1985 Ensign "Is
Jesus Christ the Savior of all the worlds God created or just ours?"
- Mars is populated by beings who, like us, were created in the image
of God, so they look like us. Except they are waiting to hear about
the Gospel, which we will preach to them during the millenium. Supposedly
came from early church conference address by church apostle, but still
need reference.
- God created all the planets in our solar system with the explicit
"law" to support human life. The other planets in our solar
system are already populated or are able to support human life. See
"The Essential Orson Pratt, p.373"
- Lucifer only did to Adam and Eve "the same thing which has
been done in "OTHER WORLDS," according to the temple endowment.
This shows Mormon doctrine embraces the idea of life on other planets.
- "Thus the Lord has given us the information regarding his creations,
and how he has made many earths, for there never was a beginning,
never was a time when man did not exist somewhere in the universe,
and when the time came for this earth to be peopled the Lord, our
God, transplanted upon it from some other earth, the life which is
found here." Improvement Era, Vol 23:389-393; Joseph Fielding
Smith; "The Origin and Destiny of Man"; 1919
-
Mormon Physics
- All spirit is matter, just "more fine or pure" form of
matter which we cannot measure. See D&C 131:7.
- The Mormon God cannot destroy or create matter, he can only "reorganize"
it. So the Solar System was formed from other previous creations.
See Temple Endowment, The Contributor, Vol. 4, p. 257, and Joseph
Smith As Scientist, p. 14.
- God has cursed water and turned it over to Satan to control. Satan
controls bodies of water, especially rivers. See D&C 61:13-19
- All matter in the universe chooses to obey God's law. If God had
not sacrificed his Only Begotten Son to fulfill the atonement and
satisfy the law, then matter would not have continued to respect God
and matter would not have continued to obey Him. This is supposedly
from ther church's official publication "Jesus the Christ"
but is often taught by LDS Church Institute instructors. Still need
reference.
- Light is the sole medium which God has for governing the universe.
See Journal of Discourses, Volume
15:232
-
Other Dimensions
- The Earth is the spirit world, where the billions of deceased spirits
now live. In fact, there are spirits all around us right now, yet
we cannot see them and they cannot see us, thanks to "the veil."
[This is so much like a few Star Trek episodes!] Taught by LDS Church
Institute instructors - still need reference.- When babies are born,
"the veil" is still very thin and as newborns they can see
spirits, remember the "pre-existence" and still hear God
directly. It's only later after months trapped in a physical body
that "the veil" begins to close over their spiritual awareness.
Taught by LDS Church Institute instructors - still need reference.
- Just before people die, "the veil" once again lifts and
they start to see again all the spirits and angels all around us.
Taught by LDS Church Institute instructors - still need reference.
- God lives in the fourth dimension, which explains why he can see
everything, be everywhere and know all time. In fact, as three-dimensional
beings, if we could visit flatland (a two-dimensional universe) the
inhabitants would think we were Gods. Taught by LDS Church Institute
instructors - still need reference.
- The Holy of Holies in the Salt Lake Temple actually contains a portal
to the celestial realm at Kolob. Mormon folklore, source reference
needed.
-
Time and Time Travel
- God travels much faster than the speed of light. God travels at
the "speed of thought." Very common Mormon belief, source
reference needed.
- A day for God is like a thousand years on Earth. This is because
it takes a thousand Earth years for God's home planet Kolob to rotate
around once on its axis. See Abraham 3:4-5
- God lives by "celestial time, which celestial time signifies
one day to a cubit" See Book of Abraham, Facsimile Number 2,
Explanation for Figure 1.
- Adam and Eve living in the Garden of Eden were "subject to
Kolob Time." See Abraham 5:13
- Seer stones allow us to see past, present and future events at any
location. All of those that make it to the Celestial Kingdom will
have their own seer stone, to review any moment or location in the
universe. See D&C 130:10-11
- If it wasn't for "Cherubum and a Flaming Sword" in front
of the tree of life, Adam and Eve would have lived "forever"
after eating the forbidden fruit. See Alma 12:21, 42:2-3 and Moses
4:31
- A righteous man's "time" on this Earth is not "cut
short," according to the D&C 122:9.
- Christ's atonement was eternal, reached back in time and retro-actively
saved the faithful who lived and died before the event occurred, yet
they were told to wait for his coming in order to be saved. (Mormon
Doctrine, 2nd ed., Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, pp. 64, 65).
- God showed his temporal prophets "everything from the beginning
to the end of time", as accounts record in the Pearl of Great
Price and the Book of Mormon. See stories of Nephi, Moses and Abraham.
Also see D&C 101:32-34.
- The earth's lifetime is divided into "dispensations" of
time. The correct name for our current dispensation of time is "Adam-ondi-Ahman"
which Joseph Smith explained to mean "The place or land of God
where Adam dwelt." (Mormon Doctrine, by Bruce McConkie, p. 19-20)
-
Geology
- Right from the scriptures, the Earth's total temporal existence
is 7,000 years. See D&C 77:6
- There's more gold and mineral riches in Utah than the rest of the
world combined. It's hidden from you because of a lack of faith. There's
no need to go to California to pan for Gold, because God will reveal
these riches to you when you are righteous enough. This was preached
from the pulpit at the Tabernacle by the Prophet of the Church. See
Journal of Discourses 1:264.
- Fossilized dinosaur bones are from dinosaurs that lived on other
worlds that were destroyed to create the Earth. They were living creatures,
but not from this Earth. (See Creation above) Taught by LDS Church
Institute instructors. Still need reference.
- Carbon dating is phony because God has altered the Earth so many
times with processes we can't understand or measure. Taught by LDS
Church Institute instructors. Still need reference.
- The Garden of Eden was in Missouri. Noah was taken to the Old World
by the Flood. This teaching was given by Joseph Smith and is still
accepted as true doctrine. Given this teaching, Mormons have to accept
the flood as a global phenomenon. (Mormon Doctrine, by Bruce McConkie,
"Adam-Ondi-Ahman" p. 19-20)
- Prophet preaches from the Tabernacle pulpit in General Conference
that "Gold and silver grow, and so does every other kind of metal,
the same as the hair upon my head, or the wheat in the field.."
See JoD 1:209.
Mormon Biology
- Adam and Eve did not have blood in their bodies in the Garden of
Eden. The Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith taught: "Adam [and, by
extension, all of the animal creation] had no blood in his veins before
the fall. Blood is the life of the mortal body." After Adam partook
of the forbidden fruit, blood became "the life-giving fluid in
Adam's body, and was inherited by his posterity. Blood was not only
the life of the mortal body, but also contained in it the seeds of
death which bring the mortal body to its end. Previously the life
force in Adam's body, which is likewise the sustaining power in every
immortal body, was the spirit." - Joseph Fielding Smith, Man:
His Origin and Destiny (Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1954), pp.
362, 376-77.
- Adam lived nearly 1,000 years and the prophets used to live hundreds
of years because they lived the Word of Wisdom perfectly and had more
pure blood in their veins. Over time, the human race has polluted
blood more and more. Taught by LDS Church Institute instructors. Still
need reference.
- Adam did not have a navel, Eve did. Taught by LDS Church Institute
instructors. Still need reference.
- Mormonism directly explains the creation of at least one race by
God. Mormon scripture taught that Cain was so evil, God cursed him
and his lineage with black skin, creating the African race. See Moses
7:22. Mormon Doctrine explains: "Cain was cursed with a dark
skin; he became the father of the Negroes, and those sprits who are
not worthy to receive the priesthood are born though his lineage.
He became the first mortal to be cursed as a son of perdition. As
a result of his mortal birth he is assured of a tangible body of flesh
and bones in eternity, a fact which will enable him to rule over Satan."
Mormon Doctrine, Page 102.
- When Native Americans become Mormons, their skin turns white. The
Prophet Spencer W. Kimball taught the principle of this process in
a General Conference address. He stated how the "Indians are
fast becoming a white and delightsome people." He said, "The
[Indian] children in the home placement program in Utah are often
lighter than their brothers and sisters in the hogans on the reservation...
These young [Indian] members of the Church are changing to whiteness
and to delightsomeness. One white elder jokingly said that he and
his companion were donating blood regularly to the hospital in the
hope that the process might be accelerated." LDS General Conference,
October 1960, Spencer W. Kimball, (Improvement Era, December 1960,
pp. 922-3). Also see the original Mormon prophesy of this effect in
2 Nephi 30:6.
- Drinking tea may tan your stomach similarly to what happens in a
teapot. (Missionary teaching technique taken seriously by some).
- All races, including Blacks, Asians, Indians etc.. will be resurrected
in their perfect state as white Caucasians. Taught by LDS Church Institute
instructors. Still need reference.
- Our Spirit bodies look exactly the same as our physical bodies,
even before birth. In the book of Mormon, Christ appeared (and touched
the stones) to the Brother of Jared in the BoM in his spirit form,
which appeared the same as his future body would thousands of years
later when he was born. See Ether 3:15-17
- Resurrection is simply a priesthood ordinance not yet revealed,
but that will be revealed after the millenium. See LDS Church News
Archives, Saturday, January 15, 2000, "Resurrection is a priesthood
ordinance. 'As to how the dead are raised, we know that it is by the
power of Jesus Christ because He holds the keys of death, hell, and
resurrection,' said Brother Matthews. '. . . President Brigham Young
and Elder Erastus Snow taught that the resurrection will be conducted
much as other things are done in the kingdom, by those in authority
and by delegation.'"
- Resurrected bodies do not have blood but instead rely on the spirit
to stay alive. The Prophet Joseph Fielding Smith taught: "Our
Father in heaven and our Savior and all those who have passed through
the resurrection have physical bodies of flesh and bones, but their
bodies are quickened by spirit and not by blood, hence they are spiritual
bodies and not blood bodies. The immortal body is quickened by spirit,
but the mortal body is quickened by blood... . Now when Adam was in
the Garden of Eden, he was not subject to death. There was no blood
in his body and he could have remained there forever. This is true
of all other creations." (Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of
Salvation, vol. 1, pp. 76-77).
It's difficult to write a formula to describe these phenomena but
is
perserved in text form for Latter Day Saints to ponder and postulate.
Remember: on the silly side it makes sense but don't try to do the
math.
