Dear Gramps, This past Sunday I taught Gospel Doctrine Lesson #38 where we learn that Paul apparently yields to the pleadings of his brethren and goes to the temple to participate in the prescribed ceremony for personal cleansing as a show of support for the Law of...

Dear Gramps, I stumbled on your site this evening and love it! I am feeling a bit dumb, but since all questions are good……..where is the best place to start with scripture study? I’ve been a member all my life and have only recently really wanted to...

Gramps, I have a question for you. What means the circle that is in the book of The Pearl of Great Price? I think that the circle is very similar to the Aztec calendar, and by my opinion it seems a spaceship with passengers, just in the middle of the circle are two...

Question Gramps, Some time ago I heard a story (I don’t know where or if it is even true) about when some modern day church leaders were at the Hill Cumorah and found a cavern with many records in it. The first time they saw it the Sword of Laban lay on a table...

Dear Gramps, I go to a catholic school and i try to endure their “sacrament meetings” since they are compulsory for attendance. (But you don’t have to partake of their emblems). Anyway, they claim to be the only true church (like we do but we are modest about it) and...

Gramps, My question is of un-importance to the eternal realm of things, but I just wanted to get your opinion on it. I know that an angel retrieved the plates from Joseph Smith, but I haven’t been able to find anything about the sword of Laban, the Urim and Thummim,...

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, Can you comment on the differentiation of the text of each book written in the Book of Mormon? Since each book was pretty much written by a different person, their writing styles should be somewhat different than the other writers. Can you also comment on...

GRAMPS, Thanks for answering, but what is the tale? Kimball is quoted in the J. of D. V 4 PG 105 as making the statement of the vision, and as to sticking with what Joseph has said, in 1843 he was editor in chief of the church newspaper, and said that the towns...
