Last Sunday I had an appointment that I set up with my Bishop to discuss taking my name off of the records of the church or not. I spent a good two hours in...
I have never had the authority of bishopric conferred upon me, so I'm not sure I'm qualified to answer. I would love to point out to you that Gordon B....
I think this poem from January's First Presidency messgage (President Monson) fits Gordon B. Hinckley well, along with the prophets who preceded him: An old...
I got this interesting item from one of my favorite sisters-in-law Sue Shifflett.... Interesting... There was a time when the world scoffed at records being...
In light of the irreverent and seemingly thoughtless remarks against certain members of my "Issues" forum, and the ongoing judgments of sincere seekers in...
Literal vs. figurative interpretation of scriptures: Some scriptures seem fairly literal yet I wonder if many are not to be interpreted so literal. For...
If literal means it happens in the real world and figurative means it is a symbol of something real rather than a faithful description of reality, then I don't...
To pray without ceasing does not mean that we spend every moment of our lives saying or thinking words to addressed to, and heard by, the Father. 3 Nephi...
Footnote on Randy's e-mail: I made a brief study of the use of absolute modifiers which were not so absolute. For example, the Bible says that before the Tower...
Those are good examples, Allen. My personal favorite is from Titus 1:12-13. "...One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway...
Good comments Randy. Good comments Allen. So how about built in qualifiers in some promises made in the scriptures? D&C says, "Who am I saith the Lord that...
Here's my take: We will eventually know the truth of all things. When we do, it will probably be through the Holy Ghost. Praying without ceasing: This could...
Sam, That is a good prayerful attitude. I guess I'll try that unless you've copyrighted it. Related question: Does one usually know when he is being prompted...
To all mothers: I have spent years studying psychology, and years working with grandparents, parents, youth and children who for one reason or other find...
Kerry Shirts, an online LDS scholar, has written an article about BofM evidences. I would have to open my books and read them alongside his notes to understand...
Jerald, Thanks for sending this. It was very interesting. Allen ... From: Sam Richardson <samueler@...> Subject: [LDSUplift] New Research for BofM To:...
Today I mentioned this group to a Latter-day Saint who apparently needs some friendly contact. Let's remember that this site is about lifting one another up...
Today in our Sunday School we talked about Hiram Page, who claimed to receive revelation beyond his area of stewardship. The teacher emphasized that no one...
Hi, Randy, For some reason, your post didn't seem to make it to distribution yesterday. I didn't think I had you on monitored status. So I went there to check...
Randy, and Sam, I liked your viewpoints. Makes sense. Similar story. One of my daughters had a difficult time with her first baby nursing. My daughter had...
So perhaps, in lieu of stating that no one can receive revelation in behalf of another, perhaps it would be better to put it in less black-and-white terms. How...
I agree, like Sam said, that because the gospel (and life) is multifaceted, commandments might not always be cut and dried. But this also implies another...
Randy, I agree that if someone receives a revelation that they should marry a certain person, he/she shouldn't declare that revelation to the intended party....
In simpler terms, the Lord can teach us anything he wants, but those things are binding only on ourselves and the people in our stewardship to whom those...
I was wondering if anyone has been asked why we do not believe in the Trinity when some prophets in The Book of Mormon apparently do not understand the...
In 1916 the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles issued a Doctrinal Exposition on the Father and the Son. It was published in the...

I think that perhaps Abinidi knew the difference, but during his time (the Old Testament time) Jehovah was indeed worshiped as the Lord God (unless I'm...
Well, you're obviously right, as during the time of the Law people could not approach the Lord directly, only by the intercession of the High Priest, and the...
