I would like to say thanks, in sharing your story. It seems the more we dig deeper into dicators past, I do see patterns of father's abusing the children [Example Hitler, Stalin, Sadaam].

Jericho band is another great band. I usually hear them on the BYU Music channel

I have great love for our Native Ammericans since my wife blood line does have Cheerokee running in her veins. The nicest people you can meet.

Prove it.

Tidbit: DoD/CIA uses LDS active members in there abilities to see [remote viewers].

Take a closer look at Richard Drapers book concerning this. I think he hit the nail on the head per say.

Yes. I had a dreamed a couple years later, revealing how the AC will take over the largest church and eventually, the UN. There are others that I cannot list that maybe some issues for the Saints later as we draw closer to the end. I wish I could elaborate more on where this nation is at as to technology. You be shocked. I will say, we change technology every 8-months now.

Did he tell you out right? What is your course on this issue?

I do love the last 12-minor prophets in seeing there limited writings concerning not only Israel but Mount Zion in the future.

Correct statement but he is limited on the spirit at this time. I think highly of him to questioned such but for him, it will require some ponderous and thoughtful prayers in searching the truth. Thanks HD

One man's opinion is necessary to ensure free agency is at work. However, the rewards of such can be a downfall in ones life if the path taken is not the right one.

As we draw closer to the Savior, we begin to understand what His goal is for our FATHER - bring glory unto HIM as we serve HIM. Thus, the FATHER becomes a impact on our daily lives and center of our mortal desire to be with in the end.

That is a correct statement. Search out the Church archives on past conference talk.

Correct. As we draw a closer relationship with the Savior, we begin to feel as He did in regarding the FATHER. Our goal becomes one of bringing glory unto them both.

It goes back to D&C 130:19-21, it reads: I concur what Joseph Smith was alluding too. I wish so much for others to reach the same level as he did; that we all can be together in the end. Yet, at times I cry as Nephi and others have done over the brethren of the church.

Published: Thursday, Apr. 17, 2008 MormonTimes.Org | REXBURG, Idaho -- Elder M. Russell Ballard urged Brigham Young University-Idaho graduates to make their influence felt in the digital world. Elder Ballard, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, spoke last Friday at winter commencement exercises. "Your experience here is not the end of your quest for knowledge," Elder Ballard said. "We are blessed as Latter-day Saints to view the acquisition of knowledge from an eternal perspective. Of all the things you have learned at this institution and during your life so far, the most important is that you know the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth through the Prophet Joseph Smith and you know that the church is true. Your knowledge and testimony of this will always be your foundation and your polar star throughout your life." Elder Ballard told the 1,411 graduates their strength and knowledge are needed in a world torn between good and evil. The evidence of this battle is apparent in popular media, including the Internet. "While there is so very much good, informative information on the Internet, one of Satan's most seductive efforts is the increasingly present pornography appearing in all kinds of media," he said. Along with the pornography, the Internet and other media are often used to spread falsehoods, Elder Ballard said. "Every month there are 60 billion searches for information on the Internet," he said. "Many are seeking information about the church; and while some are finding the truth, others find anti-Mormon sites that mislead them and defame the church." Elder Ballard urged graduates to use their knowledge and testimony of the gospel to influence seekers of truth. He suggested that graduates join in conversations on the Internet to share the gospel and explain the message of the Restoration in simple, clear terms. BYU-Idaho President Kim B. Clark also spoke to graduates, urging them to live as disciples of Jesus Christ by standing fast, standing up and standing together. "In the years ahead we will live in a world of increasing turmoil, growing temptation and gathering wickedness," President Clark said. "Some of what challenges us will be very subtle; some will be very direct and immediate. But no matter the challenge, the disciples of the Savior will be steadfast and immovable in their commitment to him."

Welcome to the site and nice to see someone from Arizona. I was raised in both Tucson and Mesa. Anything we can do, let us know.

It is Hosea writing abilities and what he wrote. One sense he said, God was not man, the other hand there is no Savior. If God is not man, then what is written in Genesis from Moses prospective is false also: "Let us make man in our image..." Now your point is validate since it is written in that particular style.

Then you need to correct them.

As an engineer back in 2000, we were asked 10-great things that the US DoD could used by 2050. Out of the ten submitted, along with a paragraph explaining about our idea, that the grunt or soldier would have a implanted GPS/medical diagnostic/ Personal Record containing chip in his left wrist for the purpose to view the soldier whereabouts and medical information on the battlefield. Sad to say, possible working prototype maybe forth coming. Why? Another idea was a smart bullet for snipers to lock on an enemy target and him only. Call it a mini computerize Tomahawk missile. That is already in the works.

Again, there is no speculation but what you think is speculation from your own collected thoughts. If you truly do not believe in what both prophets wrote, talked about, not forgetting others since Joseph Smith, and then is there is an issue. Church answer? Elder Fowler is no longer a member of the Quorum.. However, at this point, as told already, "GOD was once man." If so, then who was His creator Vanhin? Instead of rehashing out the same rhetoric back and forth, then we simply stop here; not bringing out a contentious spirit.

Now, you are saying that Joseph Smith and those after him - prophets - are not to be followed at all but the standard works? Are you really sure that is correct statement that is no nothing in the LDS standard works concerning this subject? Hmm...reminds me of a professor at BYU who stated, "I am active temple goer". My reply, "So what?" trying to impress upon me that his attendance is require to validate his point. This issue was raised with not always follow the prophets. You wonder why there is always a need to bring out the 'broom.'

My favorite is Michael Mclean...:) Let do a quick pique for you regarding this book: the Book of Hosea itself begins by showing Jevovah's anger with the children of Israel, whose unfaithfulness toward God is compared to the unfaithfulness of harlots [Hos 2:4-5, 9:15]. But by the end of the book, somehow God's heart is softened [Hos 11:1-3, 8-9, 13:4,9] We are talking about Jehovah and not GOD the FATHER. Without understanding the author veiwpoint, what is happening, location, and timeframe, you are only taking this out of content. Hosea even mentions that there is no Savior beside him. Remember that verse? What? No Savior? We know differently there is a Savior - namely Jehovah or Jesus Christ. Do you see what I am saying here?

Shell, are you referring too Hosea 11:9?

Good to hear that....music can bring peace unto our soul.
