Firstly, I live in Auburn, Alabama where there aren’t a lot of mormons. The majority of my friends aren’t mormon. While I’m okay with this, I can tell most of them don’t think highly of the church, Joseph Smith, etc. (but most of them do have...

In D&C Section 7 where it talks about how John is blessed by Christ to remain on earth until he returns, it talks about how Peter and James his brother would minister for him. I’ve been looking through the footnotes and though I’m not done researching...
