Is it true that the resurrected world will be as a sea of glass?
Dear Gramps, Is it true that the resurrected world will be as a sea of glass? Will there be no mountains or valleys? Karen, Coarsegole, California Dear Karen, There will occur two major great changes in the earth in times to come. The first change will occur at the...
I believe in the Bible and Adam and Eve, but what about creatures such as cave men?
Hi Grampa, This is a question I've had for a long time. I will appreciate anything you can tell me to clear it up. I know with every fiber of my being that the Bible is the word of God and that the creation of this world and it's first population, Adam and Eve, were...
How old is the earth?
Gramps, I have a friend who keeps asking me questions about the church, but one I do not know how to answer.. Our church, from my understanding believes the earth to be around 2000 years old, but scientists keep finding bones and what not that are millions of years...

Why would a woman want to remarry if she can only be sealed to one man?
Dear Gramps, . I have always been curious how women can expect to be remarried (after being widowed) if they can not be sealed to more than one man. Personally, I would want to spend eternity with my husband, and so do not want to be sealed to more than one man, but...
Would a sister who marries outside the Church have the same blessings as someone who married in the temple?
Dear Gramps, I love your columm. As a young woman I have always been taught that the prophets advised singles to not marry outside the church. Adhering to that advise I am still single, never had the chance to be a mother, even though I had chances to marry outside...
Would I be excluded from exaltation if my spouse never wants to take the ordinances?
Dear Gramps, For full exaltation, one cannot make it alone. One must be accompanied by one's spouse. However, what if that spouse is a non-member who is highly unlikely to ever join the church, and thus be eligible to be sealed with me in the temple? I would very much...
Will only those who reach the Celestial Kingdom be able to procreate?
Question Gramps, I have been told that only those who inherit the highest degree of the Celestial Kingdom will be able to have continued posterity. Will those that don't attain this level be allowed to procreate and have continued posterity? Or will the powers...
