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...

Gramps, In 2 Thess 2:3, it talks about a falling away before a restoration of the gospel. Before each dispensation, there has been a falling away before a new prophet was delivered. If Christ is going to usher in the 7th dispensation, does there have to be another...

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 a LDS living magazine that said Joseph Smith actually saw God, how can I believe that with these scriptures?...

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...

Dear Gramps, I feel pretty discouraged when I pray in “someone else’s” behalf and the prayer never seems to get answered. I was listening to a talk radio show that discussed prayer and it was mentioned that God doesn’t answer prayers, we answer...

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, In 1 Timothy 1:13-14 it reads, “For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” Why does Paul bring up that Adam was formed before Eve? Is he simply illustrating...
