Gramps, I am a convert and I have new issues coming up in my Gospel Principles class. We have been talking about Adam in his pre-mortal life, that his name was Michael. And also that Jesus was Jehovah in the old testament. Can you explain this to me, and are there any...

Dear Gramps, Once one has repented of his sins, God remembers them no more. However, I have heard that if one repeats the sin that they have already repented of, they are once again held accountable for all the times they sinned before the repentance. Is that true?...

Hi Gramps, I was reading your reply to a question about whether or not a person may repent in the spirit world. However, I am still unclear about two things. 1) If a member of the Lord’s Church commits sin and does not repent of it in this life, will he have the...

Dear Gramps, I think my husband may have been molested as a child by a family friend. I know that at least his sister was and my mother-in-law doesn’t believe her. When this man died his wife told my husband she was sorry. She did not say for what. I have always...

Ok dear Gramps, Since we are to be eating meat any time sparingly, What would be sparingly? Small portions at each meal?, once a week?, every other day? Only if other grains are low in access? It seems to me that it is mostly the American diet which centers most main...
