Satan and his decisions

Apr 2, 2013 | ,

Dear Gramps, First of all I would like to thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. Many of your replies have helped me gain a greater understanding of various topics, which have proved useful whilst teaching my Sunday school class. I would like to ask...

Atonement

Atonement

Mar 30, 2013 | ,

Dear Gramps, If a church member lives the majority of their life in a 'lukewarm' fashion (not doing anything real bad, yet not being very spiritually valiant either) will it do that person any good to change their ways for the better since the majority of their life...

Smoking

Smoking

Mar 28, 2013 | ,

My husband has gone back to smoking after we were sealed in the temple. Just the other day he was upset at me for being upset at his smoking and said “My health is the only good reason I should stop smoking.” How do I come back to him and help him see again the list...

Millenial Question

Millenial Question

Mar 27, 2013 | ,

Shalom Gramps, You state the following:  " In 1 Cor. 15:50 Apostle Paul revealed that “Flesh and Blood cannot INHERIT the Kingdom of God” – likewise, Jesus declared in Matt. 25:34 that the living SHEEP Saints on His right hand should “Come and INHERIT the Kingdom”...

Angel retrieves gold plates

Angel retrieves gold plates

Mar 26, 2013 | ,

Where is it recorded in the LDS scriptures that an angel retrieved the gold plates from Joseph Smith? People in the South have said that story sounds suspicious or "fishy". They have no problem believing the parting of the Red Sea or that the Lord opened to view the...

Faith

Deliverance and Free Agency

Deliverance and Free Agency

Mar 23, 2013 | , ,

Dear Gramps, If Heavenly Father absolutely will not violate anybody's free agency, then how is he able to deliver people out of bondage? If their captors are absolutely unwilling to yield under any circumstances, are those they keep in bondage completely out of luck?...

Prayer

Prayer

Mar 21, 2013 | ,

Some say that God does not hear our prayers directly but that our prayers are communicated to Him by angels or deceased family members who have been delegated the task to listen to us. Personally, I don't believe it but would like to know if the church leaders have...

Petition for Healing

Petition for Healing

Mar 20, 2013 | , ,

Dear Gramps, Does it do any good to petition for someone's healing, like from cancer? The scriptures say if they are ordained to live, they will live, and if they are ordained to die, then they will die (D&C 42:48. So if God has already made up His mind on the...

1 Corinthians 8:5-6

1 Corinthians 8:5-6

Mar 14, 2013 | , ,

I've been pondering the Scripture verse of 1 Corinthians 8:5-6. I see the point that you make when you speak of plurality of gods and lords, but I have a tendency to make sure that no Scripture is ever taken out of context. If you read the verses before them (verses...

Murder

Murder

Mar 13, 2013 | ,

How can Satan murder someone if he is a spirit? Is John 8:44 figurative or literal? Dan ___________________ Dan, What a great and insightful question, how is Satan defined as a murderer by our Lord? I believe this scripture to be literal, Satan was and is a murderer...
