Three Word Description of LDS Faith

Post by _moksha »

The LDS Faith Facebook page asked the question of what three words best described the faith of LDS people.

Of course there were no wrong or right answers, but the idea of what others came up with is intriguing. Honest answers are probably a reflection on what elements of faith are most important to us.

My own top three would have included:

1. Love
2. Forgiveness
3. Mercy

I imagine my fellow Church member Bcspace would offer:

1. Conservatism
2. Doctrine
3. Conservatism

I could see many other listings like obedience, prophets, tithing, family, Jesus, Joseph Smith, service, God, endurance, choice, etc....

Intellectual Reserve, Inc. even made a collage of potential answers. http://newsroom.LDS.org/article/three-words-describe-faith-mormon?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LDSNewsRoomTop15+%28RSS%3A+LDS+Newsroom%29

What would be your three descriptors of LDS faith?

God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Twenty-first Century:
conservative
self-righteous

Gotta love the Mormonism of yore.

edited to add: In many ways, they're two separate religions.
