Dear Gramps, When is enough enough? My husband of 27 years and I are converts, of over 28 years. We were sealed in the temple and have held various callings. In the last 15 years I have been the more active member, but he knows the Mormon Church is true and once loved...

Dear Gramps, Once one has repented of his sins, God remembers them no more. However, I have heard that if one repeats the sin that they have already repented of, they are once again held accountable for all the times they sinned before the repentance. Is that true?...

Dear Gramps, Why does (did) Elohim require suffering by Jesus for man to obtain forgiveness? Could He not have granted forgiveness to man without Jesus suffering? Shane, from San Francisco, California Dear Shane, I’m sure that God could have granted forgiveness to...

Dear Gramps, If the Holy Ghost is supposed to dwell in righteous people, how can he if he can only be in one place at a time? I’ve heard about his “influence” being everywhere present like the sun’s rays. Also our body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. Please explain...

Gramps, Could you please explain in detail, along with your opinion of the three trumpet sounds before Christ’s coming? I realize it will not be all at once, but I’m also sure it will be a scary thing even for the saints who are living righteously. In your opinion,...

Dear Gramps, Will you please elaborate on verse 121, Section 88 of the Doctrine and Covenants? Are we to cease from all laughter or is this commandment specifically for certain solemn occasions, such as in the School of the Prophets or temple work? The remaining part...

Hi Gramps, My question that I would like some insight on is from D&C 63:17 and D&C 76:103. I believe these scriptures are describing those people who will inhabit the telestial kingdom. The phrase I don’t quite understand is “whosoever loves and makes a lie.”...

Gramps, Please share with me some comments about Doctrine & Covenants Section 132, For example, when the Lord says that all associations will be thrown down, does He include all non-LDS associations? Why does he use the word “destroy”? Thank you. Douglas, from...

Dear Gramps, I prefer to remain anonymous unless advised to take this to my bishop, but I was wondering about something. I was sexually abused by my oldest brother when I was young (about 6 or 7) and I never told anyone. In fact, I let him continue to do it when he...
