How can I get along with my wife, who belongs to an anti-Mormon church?
Gramps, I have a question that troubles me greatly. I was baptized at age 8 but became inactive at age 17-18. I married outside of the church and had a child. I did a horrible thing and committed adultery, ended my marriage and went on to marry the woman I had the...
Every time in the Bible when the Angel of the Lord (Christ) appears or angels appear (as with the Assyrians) there is no dark force that accompanies them or tries to “overtake” them. Why then would Joseph Smith be overtaken by a dark force prior his vision of the Father and Son?

Can you confirm that the most rebellious devils in creation inhabit this earth?
Dear Gramps, I remember reading over 40 years ago when I joined the Church that the devils on this earth were the most rebellious in all creation. I think Brigham Young may have said that. I have many books but have vision problems…Hence I ask. John, from St. Joseph,...
The prophet, Mormon, was commanded not to preach to the Nephites because of their wickedness. Yet it seems that he did preach to them as recorded in Mormon 7:1. What’s you’re best guess for when and under what circumstances this sermon was given?
Question Dear Gramps, Mormon, when he was 15 years old, “knew of the goodness of Jesus” and wanted to preach to the people. However, his “mouth was shut” and he was “forbidden to preach”. (Mormon 1:15-17) Now, when Moroni is compiling the last bits of the record, he...

Do the Mormons consider the Standard Works to be the only scriptures?
Dear Gramps, This question was put to me by a gospel doctrine teacher and he wanted a reference. He wanted to know if I considered the conference editions of the ensign as scripture. I said that I believed it was as that was what I remember being taught in Sunday...
In 2nd Nephi 2:19-21, it states that after Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden fruit that the days of the children of men were “prolonged” and their time was “lengthened.” Is it not true that after the fall of Adam and Eve, the time allotted unto man became increasingly shorter and they had less and less years to live?
Dear Gramps, In 2nd Nephi 2:19-21, it states that after Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden fruit that the days of the children of men were "prolonged" and their time was "lengthened" so that they might repent while in the flesh. This is confusing to me, because it...
Is it wrong to like someone who is 19 years younger than you?
Dear Gramps, Is it wrong to like someone who is 19 years younger than you? I am 39 and he is 20 I really need to know the answer. Wendy, from Pittsburg, Texas Dear Wendy, It may not be wrong, but it certainly is impractical. You probably like this kid more as a child...
What does Doctrine and Covenants 49:02 mean when it says that “the world lieth in sin.”
Dear Gramps, What does the scripture mean that says in D&C 49:20, But it is not given that one man should possess that which is above another, wherefore the world lieth in sin. It would appear here that the Lord despises economic inequality. Curtis Dear...
