Dear Gramps, While keeping in mind the idea that each man has agency could you please explain how it is that God knows our actions before they are performed? It would seem as if this would lead to the idea of destiny instead of ordination, thank you. Mike, from Utah...

Dear Gramps, If there was a council in heaven and all of God’s children were there, and, using their free agency made the choice to follow Satan or Christ, where do the spirit children God has sired since that council fit in? Do they come under that council with...

Dear Gramps — I’ve wondered for a time why is it that when we baptize we do it in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, as is also the case in the temple marriage. Why then are the other ordinances, such as confirmation, priesthood ordination,...

Question Dear Gramps, I always have been wondering about this question. You are a police officer and you have just shot or killed someone because it is a part of the job. Does Heavenly Father hold you accountable for those people that you killed while on this...

Dear Gramps, I feel pretty discouraged when I pray in “someone else’s” behalf and the prayer never seems to get answered. I was listening to a talk radio show that discussed prayer and it was mentioned that God doesn’t answer prayers, we answer...

Dear Gramps, I have a question. If God is eternal and we are too, then what made God our Heavenly Father before us, since our intelligences have both no beginning (We are all eternal).Our ages (if you can speak of age) are the same. What factor decided that God came...

Dear Gramps, I have a question that has bothered me for a while, and it could be because I was inactive during primary and missed some basic gospel foundation. In the Book of Mormon, whenever it refers to Lord, does it mean Jesus Christ or Heavenly Father? Whenever I...
