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...

X-From_: [emailaddress] Gramps, A question was recently asked in a Relief Society discussion of a lesson I was teaching. I was wondering if you could answer this question. Were relations foreordained in the premortal life? Donna Dear Donna, We can find no specific...

Hey gramps, I got thinking the other day. Before we came to earth we lived as spirits with our heavenly father. But do our spirits have an age? Or a better question is did God create our spirits or did we just always exist? Just curious. Thanks Jeff, from Utah Dear...

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 was just having a discussion with a few friends and the question came up about whether spirits choose their families. Is this so? If so why do some choose to go to families where they will be abused or go to broken homes etc. Your comments will be most...

Dear Gramps, Why did Heavenly Father give Adam 2 commandments knowing he would have to sin to keep the one? Do not Partake of the Fruit and Multiply and replenish the Earth. Leila Dear Leila, First of all, we need to keep in mind that Adam and Eve did not sin while...

Dear Gramps, I just wonder why, if the Lord saved the most valiant for the latter days there is more wickedness than ever before. We are who we were and will be. So if we have the same attitudes and behaviors, wouldn’t it be fair to assume that not everyone was...

Subject: satan and his 1/3 Message: Was it only male who were cast down to earth with satan. Did they have the Priesthood? Kate Kate, Many times in the scriptures the term ’sons of God’ is used to designate both men and women. I would presume that the 1/3 of the...

Dear Gramps, I understand that the Atonement was a physical and spiritual payment that Jesus Christ made for all of God’s children. He paid for our bodies overcoming death unconditionally, and paid for our spirits overcoming sin conditionally upon our faith,...
