May 10, 2013 | Afterlife, Jesus Christ, Mormon Doctrine
Dear Gramps, We are told that Christ’s redeeming atonement was infinite, and specifically, that He descended “below all things”. If this is true, then why isn’t murder covered by His atonement? How can it be called an infinite and universal...

I understand that those who died before reaching the age of accountability will automatically be exalted. They were very righteous and too pure. Since about 80% of HF children are in that category does that mean the rest of us were the dregs of those who came to...

Dear Gramps, (for a friend) Many years ago, I was married in the temple and we had two little boys born in the covenant. After 7 years of marriage, my husband died. I was very hurt and mad at God and took off my garments. I am trying to come back now and I know that...

Apr 25, 2013 | God, Satan
I once heard that Satan cannot present himself in the form of a Dove (because the Dove is the symbol of peace/spirit). I was wondering if he could/couldn’t also mimic peace? If I remember correctly it is because Satan is so wrapped up in chaos that he...

I have heard that we shouldn’t get tattoos because our body’s are temples and we should defile our temple. Could playing a sport where serious injury is very likely result in “defiling” our temple? I played football in high school and tore my...
