Dear Gramps, I have always had a hard time really understanding Mosiah 15:1-5. How do I explain those verses to someone and make it clear that it is not saying that the Savior and the Father are the same being? The wording is really confusing. Thank you so much for...

Hello Gramps, I’m hoping you can give me some insight on why we need to both “Love God and Fear God”. Shouldn’t our actions have to do with the desire to please our Heavenly Father and to want to be with Him again, rather than being afraid of Him? Jennifer, from...

Dear Gramps, Thank you for the reply to my question about my children being sealed to me as I sojourn on this earth (in my patriarchael blessing) a couple of weeks ago. I apologize for not showing my gratitude earlier. But I am learning on the computer, and I wasn’t...

Gramps, I was wondering if someone was unworthy to get a higher ranking in the priesthood, and he didn’t tell anyone, would that person receive the higher authority? Joe Dear Joe, I don’t know of anyone who would be considered completely worthy in all regards to...
