The Three Nephites
The three Nephites were granted immortality by Jesus when he visited America. Their most common exploit in Mormon folklore is mysteriously showing up to change flat tires for stranded Mormons. Clearly this is an important enough reason to have immortality.

I don’t know a mormon that actually believes that 3 Nephites are around changing tires.

LikeDislikeBritt, I do. Many of them! I was first told that story by my seminary teacher, then heard them mentioned many times in informal chats, even by my mission president.

LikeDislikeMolly & Adrian,
Thanks for the folklore.
Check the facts.

They are not immortal, but they are changed so that they may fulfill their righteous desires “for ye have desired that ye might bring the souls of men unto me, while the world shall stand.” 3 Nephi 28:9

LikeDislikeIf you haven’t been paying attention; The whole point of this website is that the LD$ church doesn’t place much value in the facts. You keep posting links to LDS.org and telling people to “check the facts” but, lds.org isn’t about revealing the facts, it’s about building faith. Faith and facts are NOT the same thing. Facts are actual things that have occurred or do occur in reality. Faith is what Peter Pan uses, while clapping his hands, to resurrect fairies.
If you’re going to tell people to “check the facts”; could you at least lead them to a site that actually contains the facts, instead of faith building indoctrination like LDS.org and mormon.org contain?
