Gramps, Through the Book of Mormon up to the time of Christ’s visit, there were “-ites” – Nephites, Lamanites, Jacobites, etc. Then there were no “ites” for almost 200 years. And then there became “-ites” again. I have read that the division was religious the second...

Dear Gramps, When I’m reading the Book of Mormon, I get doubts of it being true. If I read the Bible I don’t, I totally believe, I’m a member of the Mormon Church and I still believe that the Church is true. I’ve been to the temple and have felt the spirit. I’ve had...
