Paul’s Famous Speech before the Areopagus in Acts 17:-31. This is one of my favorite stories in the New Testament. Why? Because Paul was a unique linguistic when it came to debating, disputing or quarrelling. Paul tailored His tutoring depending upon the spiritual readiness of His pupils. Paul...
As peculiar as the new practice may have been to the Saints in the first century Church, it was met with incredulity by other Christian groups. The general feeling among Christians then, as now, is that Paul's mention of those who are "baptized for the dead" (1 Corinthians 15:29) was enshrouded...
This is where my Church stands on same-sex marriage. I concur with Elder Perry.
Where do other Churches stand on ths issue?
L. Tom Perry 2015 General Conference Address
How does The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints distinguish and differentiate itself from the rest of the world?”...
I find this story very intriguing, how Paul was able to discern an evil spirit in a damsel. This damsel was following him and his companions testifying that they and what they were teaching was of God. I wonder, can this happen in our day? Can we have the spirit of discernment as Paul had with...
I find an interesting story here, John 10:30 I and my Father are one. 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we...
This truly is an amazing story and continues to show the authenticity of the Book of Mormon as true holy writ and its claim that Jesus is the Christ.
If establishing the Church in the cities seems almost easy, the challenge is preaching the gospel to those who live far away in the sparsely...

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints 185th Annual General Conference went down smoothly as usual.
I was blessed to be in attendance in the great Conference Center for both Saturday and Sunday sessions. It was magnificent, spiritual and exciting. I am always humbled by the teachings...
One of my favorite topics and interest is the descendants of the greatest of all Israelites, the great Prophet Joseph who was sold into Egypt. In my opinion when one understands and accepts the biblical fact, that there is another nation of Israel, that of Joseph the son of Jacob, people can...
Below is the Andrew Carnegie's Chart, I have broken it down for convenience for others. My question is where do you believe the spirit entered the fetus or embryo and thus a living soul started?. I believe the spirit entered in the first trimester at "stage 20, Spontaneous Movement." (Fetus). I...
Paul told the Corinthian converts to the Church, ‘Be ye not unequally yoked together.' Perhaps Paul wanted them to see that religious differences are fundamental differences. Religious differences imply wider areas of conflict. Church loyalties and family loyalties clash. Children’s lives are...
2 Cor. 11: 14-15…14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. (Paul here states that Satan can be transformed into...
Joseph Smith first wrote them in a letter to John Wentworth, editor of the Chicago Democrat, in answer to his request to know what members of the Church believed. The letter became known as the Wentworth Letter and was first published in the Times and Seasons in March 1842. On 10 October 1880...
Three peoples left their mark, Archaic, classical Maya or Classical Toltec, these were our Jaradites, who left from the tower of Babel
Pre-Maya, Toltec, corresponds to the Pre-Inca Pueblos and Mound builders, these were our nephites. They too perished and left their land to the same Indian...
After I had retired into the place where I had previously designed to go, having looked around me and finding myself alone, I kneeled down and began to offer up the desires of my heart to God, I had scarcely done so, when immediately I was <siezed> upon by some power which entirely overcame...
Acts 12:4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
Paul seemed to be in prison in this passage. My question is, how did the word “Easter” find its way into the...
2 Nephi 29:3...And because my words shall hiss forth-many of the Gentiles shall say: A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible
2 Nephi 29:10...Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible ye need not suppose that it contains all my words; neither need ye suppose that...
