See the Church's new website on Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ, The Son of God The Church has also released a 3-minute video on YouTube in which Elder Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve explains the purpose and benefits of this new website. In his remarks, Elder Nelson speaks of the importance of the Internet as a medium to spread the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. He also indirectly addresses the "other Jesus" anti-Mormon attack by saying, "There is only one Jesus Christ and our understanding of Him is very rich."

Newbie questions
Hemidakota replied to a topic in Learn about The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints
Give back 10-percent our day to building or learning the gospel. This was one of my early principles I 've learned. -

I Understand. Just nothing is impossible DS. Yes, I have those bubbling neuronic gods in finally surface an answer for me after exhausting myself. -
Transition From Aaronic To Melchezadik Priesthoods?
Hemidakota replied to hv3apbt's topic in Priesthood Quorums and Scouting
Correct . Remember the last question when you are being interviewed for either a Temple or Melchezdek Ordination, regards to the last question you are asked? That one always get people to hesitate. -
Transition From Aaronic To Melchezadik Priesthoods?
Hemidakota replied to hv3apbt's topic in Priesthood Quorums and Scouting
6-months to a year is usual answer but for your age, it is to determined by the Spirit and your maturity in the priesthood itself. In another words, you need to able serve in that capacity and develop sufficiently understanding of the gospel. Are you attending either Elders Quorum or High Priest Quorum? Yes! There was time I had to use the priesthood on myself while suffering a 'Brain Attack'. The priesthood does work. -
Yes, late 80s, 90s, and I came back in the early 00 for a short duration [quesitoning the fresh water fish problem]. Some interesting learning moments.

Hemidakota replied to DigitalShadow's topic in LDS Gospel Discussion
I had a keen interest in this area back in the early 80s, as I was struggling to understand how wave particles interact [see Feynman's PhD thesis - Feynman and Wheeler, 1945]. [Personal- I will share something with you] I guess my keen interest must have sparked something between GOD and me on this very subject. One night, I woke up out of dead sleep, in starring at my answer. It lasted for small moment but enough to walk away now in not believing everything that comes out of academia as the gospel. What instigated that vision, I simply don't know but I chalk it up as a desire that HE answered. Perhaps, letting me know, if I had keen interest in such, overtime, would share those moments with me. I was in tears. -

DS, do you understand the term WAVE MECHANICS? -
Ey-L?

What is GOD commanding? You keep using the term natural order. I am to assume, this means our natural physical laws as we know it? If that being the case, what physical state is GOD commanding [fill in the blank] to bid HIS will? Noticed the order of life forms? Noticed, there is nothing physcial without spiritual form first. There is nothing spiritual without what? All are building blocks. Now, where do you supposed this GOD retrieve these materials or is life made out nothing by chance? Read it carefull again and you will find something striking. Next, read Abraham chapter 3.

No. We have a choice through agency, on how we accept the creational story. Through spiritual maturity over time, the Spirit will correct false dogmas that we carry in life; whether academics or parental nurture. To be in good standing, just be obedient to the FATHER, all will fall into place.

Have you read the Book of Abraham creational story?

DVR the shows.... My wife does it all the time.

Congrats...my own children struggle through the Old Testament. To make it interesting, grab a study guide or when something catches your curiosity, keep a journal to record your feelings pertaining to that verse. The last twelve minor prophets of the OT is what I find quite fascinating.

Depending on church commitments, wife would DVR record the conference. Usually on Monday or Sunday night, we would sit together and watch conference.

Works here...

Actually, in ending a excommunication, there five different level of ecclesiastical authority: As Traveler mentioned: 1] Bishop 2] Stake President then we have three more... 3] Branch President [Mission] 4] District President [Mission] 5] Branch or District Presidents [Mission - Melchizedek Priesthood holder exc from MP] More clarity on what transpires [generalize without detail]: a] Review the proceedings of the initial Council b] Interview the person c] Determine Status of Civil/Criminal Court [if necessary] d] Contact the Presiding Officer, previous action taken e] Contact the Priesthood Leaders of aggrieved victims [if necessary] f] Then, give notice of DC g] Convene & Conduct the Disciplinary Council h] Complete & Submit a report On special circumstances, apply for FP Approval i] Give written notice of decision j] Readmitting Excommunicating Person [baptism & confirmation, Priesthood] k] Member Records updated One of the five presiding officers I had mentioned will have a checklist to ensure the member has completed the above process. Hopefully, adding more clarity to Travelers list, this helps.

Why do you think that the creation was an allegorical event?
-
Possible but I do see he has a Book of Mormon and Gladys is known to convert many souls. I don't see a problem. lol

Maybe it was not in good taste that I stood on Adam's old altar.
