Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where did most events in the Book of Mormon take place?

Answer: The Americas

The Book of Mormon relates the story of three different groups who came to America, and very little of the account takes place in the Old World.

2. Which book of Mormon scripture includes a section entitled "The Articles of Faith"?

Answer: Pearl of Great Price

The Articles of Faith contain the basic doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Book of Mormon was written by America's ancient inhabitants. The Doctrine and Covenants contains the Lord's instruction to modern prophets. The New Testament is in the Bible.

The Pearl of Great Price contains the writings of ancient prophets, and the History of Joseph Smith, and the Articles of Faith.

3. What book of scripture contains exclusively revelations received since 1800?

Answer: The Doctrine and Covenants

The book of Moroni is part of the Book of Mormon, which was transcribed by America's ancient inhabitants. Although it was first published in 1831, the actual text is believed to be much older. The New Testament is part of the Bible.

4. The Angel Moroni is often found on which type of building?

Answer: A Temple

Temples are very pretty buildings that often have the angel Moroni on top. Churches usually have just spires, and a stake center is just an (often) bigger church, where wards meet. The church is divided into stakes which are each composed of many wards.

5. All of the following were righteous men (all spoken of in the Book of Mormon) EXCEPT-

Answer: Gadianton

Gadianton was an evil man, not a righteous man, spoken of in the Book of Mormon.

6. Which Biblical scripture prompted Joseph Smith to pray to God concerning the true church?

Answer: James 1:5

James 1:5 encourages the reader to pray to God when he seeks more knowledge and understanding.

7. Faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints abstain completely from all of the following EXCEPT-

Answer: Meat

Faithful members of the church obey a commandment given by the Lord to Joseph Smith, teaching us not to smoke, drink strong drinks (which has been interpreted as coffee, alcoholic beverages, and tea (except herbal)). The Lord has not asked us to abstain from meat, just not to eat too much of it.

8. Approximately when did the Lord lead Nephi and his relatives out of Jerusalem (this is explained in the Book of Mormon)? This happened many years before Christ was born in Bethlehem.

Answer: 600 B.C.

It was during the reign of Sedequias, king of Judah, that the Lord led Lehi (Nephi was his son) out of Jerusalem.

9. What's the name of the most ancient inhabitants spoken of in the Book of Mormon? These inhabitants aren't spoken of much until nearly the end of the Book of Mormon.

Answer: Jaredites

The book written by the Jaredites spans thousands of years, beginning when the Lord confounded the people's language during the time of the Tower of Babel (to learn more about this account, read Genesis). The Nephites, Lamanites, and Mulekites existed many thousands of years after the first Jaredites.

10. When was The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints organized?

Answer: April 6, 1830

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was formally organized on April 6, 1830 with Joseph Smith and five other men as the first members.
