http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Zsvml57PE is a video describing how to learn more about the Mormon Church.
On a spring day in 1820 14-year-old Joseph Smith sought solitude in a grove of trees and prayed to know which church was true. God the Father and Jesus Christ, "two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description," appeared and spoke with him. This was a critical chapter in Mormon history.
Wondering which of the many churches to join, Joseph had followed the counsel in the Bible's book of James: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God." The Lord told Joseph "that all the religious denominations were believing in incorrect doctrines" and that he was to await further instructions from on high. "In a state of calmness and peace indescribable," Joseph left that sacred grove knowing the reality of our Father in Heaven and His resurrected Son, Jesus Christ.
Joseph Smith's first vision stands today as the greatest event in world history since the birth, ministry, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. After centuries of darkness, the Lord opened the heavens to reveal His word and restore His Church through His chosen prophet.
Joseph Smith saw God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, not once, but innumerable times throughout his life. He translated the Book of Mormon, organized the true Church of Jesus Christ upon the earth once more and restored the plain and precious truths which were lost due to the apostasy of men. He lived great and he died great in the eyes of God!

January 6th, 2009 at 22:23:29 Have you actually read the different "versions"? Of course there are different versions--do you expect that Joseph Smith would have memorized it and said it identical to every person he met and that those people would have recorded it perfectly as he said it? Of course not. He shared the experience uniquely with different people and they recorded what they remembered and/or what stood out to them.
January 6th, 2009 at 22:46:28 which first vision is this one showing? If I remeber right there were 8 different versions.

January 7th, 2009 at 01:27:21 its true my beloved brothers and sisters :)
January 7th, 2009 at 01:50:20 I have studied LDS Church history for years and feel like I understand it well. It's often those outside of our faith who know only random facts that try to make videos which have little basis on fact.
January 7th, 2009 at 02:13:19 Do you?? Look up the church history b4 posting video's
January 7th, 2009 at 02:36:18 it puzzles me howJoseph saw the father when scripture says otherwise. oh and how do you explain 1 Galatations 8?
January 7th, 2009 at 02:59:17 your lack of a believe or respect for other's beliefs constitutes a belief ... you are free to ride the fence all your days if you choose ... I dare you to try the fruits of the restored gospel ... give it a decade
January 7th, 2009 at 03:22:16 As with all South Park episodes, there are grains of truth. Most everything else in that episode is heavily distorted--otherwise it wouldn't be funny. Do you believe in God?
January 7th, 2009 at 03:45:15 Wow I thought South Park was making all that stuff up about mormons. people actually belive this shit? Damn Im in the wrong business
January 7th, 2009 at 04:08:14 No, the Book of Mormon was translated through the gift and power of God. If that includes a seer stone under God's instruction, who am I (or you) to question God? I'm just curious--have you ever translated any ancient documents from an ancient civilization with a language you didn't know? Probably not, so who are you to question God's methods. Debunked? Haha. I suggest you start getting information other than from Youtube.
January 7th, 2009 at 04:31:13 No, because the book of mormon was written via means of a peep stone and a hat. Tell me again how the Indians were a tribe of Israel. Oh snap, that's right! It's been debunked already.
January 7th, 2009 at 04:54:12 Millions do, millions more will. Why? Because they pray to ask God if it is true and He answers through His Spirit.
January 7th, 2009 at 05:17:11 yeah, you're right. It's hilarious enough watching this right here and knowing that people actually believe it.
January 7th, 2009 at 05:40:10 Yeah, there's that "faith and logic" shining through...
January 7th, 2009 at 06:03:09 This is hilarious. They should make this into a comedy and have Ryan Reynolds play JS.
January 7th, 2009 at 06:26:08 ask mormon missionarys or any mormon people you know. The missionarys will give you "The Restoration" which is the full movie to this video. Its an awesome film! If you would like to know more take the discussions and attend our Sunday meetings.
January 7th, 2009 at 06:49:07 Does anyone have the transcripts of these stories? Could anyone type them up for me? Where can I see the whole video for free?
January 7th, 2009 at 07:12:06 i love this church!
