Gramps, I hope this process is quick as I need an answer for my upcoming Sunday Relief Society lesson! As members of the church, we have lots of phrases which refer to “the spirit.” For example: praying for “thy spirit” to be with us, feeling...

Hi! I’m a bit confused about something: I’ve been told that we have always been sons of God, since we were spiritually born of Him. But I read John 3:16 the other day and it says Jesus is the only Son of God. Could you explain this to me? Thanks! Confused...

Waz up bro? I’ve been wondering something lately… We all have talents that God gave to us. If we do something bad, does He take them away? Because I’ve sinned and I’ve repented and stuff, and I do the same sins over and over again. I’m...

Dear Gramps I have just recently found out that a friend has absolutely no belief at all in God. She believes that we are all part of a theory of evolution. I believe in God and our Savior Jesus Christ. She cannot believe that a God would allow such horrific and long...
Dec 1, 2010 | Bible, Book of Mormon, Current issues, God, Jesus Christ
Dear Gramps, Our church (LDS) believes that Jesus Christ is the son of our Heavenly Father, two separate and distinct individuals. I also believe this and always have, even before I was converted a year ago. But a massive contradiction exists in our own Book of...
Nov 27, 2010 | Babies, God
Question Gramps, I really have a hard time when I watch the news and see how the Lord seems to allow innocent people (especially children) to suffer needlessly. I cried when I watched 20/20 one night and they told how the Cambodian soldiers would throw babies...
