Gramps If intelligences are finite in number, therefore all the same age, how did we exist prior to the birth through our heavenly parents? In what kind of state, a little ball of light, a human form of some type? Lynda, from Minnesota Dear Lynda, Perhaps we could...

Gramps, I have a friend in my business who thinks that it is ludicrous that we can grow to become like our Father in Heaven and attain to the state of Godhood as He is now if we are faithful. He wants me to prove it to him with the Bible. I quote him Psalm 82:6, and...

Dear Gramps, Recently I heard someone ask a question about Judas Iscariot and his free agency which I would like to hear your opinion about since I couldn’t give this person a satisfying answer. Since Jesus Christ already knew in the pre-existence that it was...

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...

Question Gramps, I was wondering how Joseph Smith saw God and lived? Here are two scriptures: Exodus 33:20, John 1:18…my Mom is Mormon, and gave me a copy of an LDS living magazine that said Joseph Smith actually saw God, how can I believe that with these...

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...

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,...
