Thank you. I appreciate your yes/no answers to the above.
DNHYB!
Some of these can't be answered properly with a simple yes or no question, but I'll try to.
Do mormons believe the following...
Jesus was married
No.
From an LDS Church spokesman shortly before the release of the movie The Da Vinci Code, but after the book. Many members and non-members alike were asking about this because of the popularity of the book.
“The belief that Christ was married has never been official Church doctrine. It is neither sanctioned nor taught by the Church. While it is true that a few Church leaders in the mid-1800s expressed their opinions on the matter, it was not then, and is not now, Church doctrine.”
Note also that some LDS Church members are not the only people that have had that opinion.
Me personally as LDS? I do not believe that he was, but I also think that it may have been possible for various reasons, just not important enough for it to be included in any writings.
Jesus and Satan are brothers
No, not in the way you are asking the question.
LDS belief is that we are ALL spirit brothers and sisters so by that it includes Christ, Lucifer, you, me, everyone. This is very much a Biblical concept.
With some research you will find that many Christian Scholars also had the same view that in spirit ALL are Children of God thus by that plainly stated Christ and Lucifer are considered brothers in this sense.
Jesus Christ is the ONLY Begotten Son of God however. In earthly terms Jesus and Lucifer are not brothers the same as you and I are not, nor am I Christ's brother.
God was married to Mary and Jesus was concieved through sexual intercourse between them
No.
In the highest degree of the celestial kingdom some men will have more than one wife
To be completely honest I don't know how to answer this one.
Lets take earthly polygamy off the table completely first of all as the LDS Church now condemns polygamy. Even in nations that polygamy is legal it is still an ex-communicatable offense in the LDS Church.
That being said, it is true that the LDS church believes marriage in the temple is eternal. After death a man and wife will be rejoined in heaven. But what happens if a man and woman are married in the temple and the woman dies later. The man gets remarried in the temple. Are both marriages eternal or does the second or first cancel out the other?
What happens if the man dies and the woman remarries. Does that mean that the woman will have *gasp* two husbands?
This is a quandry that even if the whole polygamy thing didn't happen to taint the issue one wrestles with.
What it comes down to basically in my thought is whatever. It's after we're dead so it really doesn't matter here now does it. That's a question I'll be sure to ask after I die. Either way it won't effect me personally as even if my wife dies before me I won't get remarried.
The Garden of Eden was in Missouri. All humanity before the Great Flood lived in the western hemisphere. The Ark transported Noah and the other survivors to the eastern hemisphere
Yes
Don't have much else to say about that other then it is possible. Given that the Great Flood covered all of the Earth the Garden of Eden could have been anywhere on Earth (except the frozen poles) and still compatible with the Bible. But just because it's Mormon doctrine it has to be wrong.
Christ will not return to earth in any year that has seen a rainbow
Now that's just silly. No. I don't even know where that one came from.
Mormons should avoid traveling on water, since Satan rules the waters
No.
This thought comes from the policy (not doctrine) that LDS Missionaries can't go swimming. This is to prevent accidents and liability.
The sun receives its light from the star Kolob
No. The sun receives its light from the energy released due to the fusion of hydrogen...or was it fission of helium. Blast I can't remember from my Astronomy class.
You can identify a false angel by the color of his hair, or by offering to shake his hand
Color of hair? No.
Hand shake? Yes. D&C 129. It's quite a short chapter and is part of our scripture canon.
