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...

Gramps, I haven’t prayed for months. I’m kind of scared to. I know in my heart that I want to pray but I’m scared. How can I build my confidence up to pray again? How can God love us and really know us? He has a zillion other kids in the world. and...

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...

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...
