These talks, essays and articles are the most discussed documents in the Mormon Internet community. The Talk to the All-Church Coordinating Council by Boyd K. Packer This is the most controversial talk ever circulated on the Internet.

Absolutely polarizing, virtually everyone who reads it either agrees strongly or disagrees strongly depending on his type of testimony.

Mormanity - A Mormon Blog (But Not Just for Mormons) Mormon Answers (LDS FAQ): The Divine Potential of Human Beings - or Do Mormons Believe They Can Become Gods? Index to This Page: Introduction Perhaps no other doctrine in early Christianity and in modern Latter-day Saint theology is more controversial and more misunderstood today than the doctrine that humans have divine potential. Vicious books and movies like "The God Makers" claim that Latter-day Saints deny the divinity of Christ and try to make ourselves into Gods, robbing the Father of His glory. Our true beliefs, which focus on Christ as our Savior and on our eternal relationship as children and eternal subjects of God, are much different than many people have been misled to believe. This page seeks to correct common misinformation in this area. Other related web pages include the FAQ page on Relationships Between God and Man and my page on The Relationship Between Grace, Works, and Salvation.

Mercy and Justice in the Book of Mormon: Ancient or Modern Concepts? Is the Book of Mormon too Wordy to Be True? Church History. Mormon Plates and Records. By Grant R. Hardy and Robert E. Parsons The Book of Mormon is a complex text with a complicated history. It is primarily an abridgment of several earlier records by its chief editor and namesake, Mormon. All these records are referred to as "plates" because they were engraved on thin sheets of metal. Various source documents were used by Mormon in his compilation, leading to abrupt transitions and chronological disjunctions that can confuse readers. However, when one is aware of the history of the text, these are consistent and make good sense.
The Gold Plates The gold plates that the Prophet Joseph Smith received and translated were the plates of Mormon on which Mormon and his son Moroni2 made their abridgment. After Mormon had completed his abridgment through the reign of King Benjamin (c. 130 B.C.), he discovered the small plates of Nephi, a separate history of the same time period focusing on the spiritual events of those years and quoting extensively from the plates of brass.
