We've already learned he definitely can't sing after seeing him in Mama Mia.

I've not watched a movie of his since his interview where he tore down Brooke Shields.

You have no idea how close I came to posting, "Well I am friends with Mirkwood and LDSGator so that may be true."

Yep I have absolutely no taste.

I won't see it because it has Tom Cruise in it.

Absolutely no desire to see any of them.

I definitely feel that taxing those receiving social security benefits when they come of age on money they already paid taxes on when working is theft.

MOE had mentioned choirs being used as prelude music. He didn't say that there shouldn't be ANY prelude music. The organ or piano is and has always been acceptable for prelude and postlude music.

There are a couple of the temple recommend questions that I feel you would have a hard time denying. I'd say talk to your new Bishop no matter how difficult.

Stop it!!

That's definitely something we can't answer. That's a question for your local leaders who have stewardship over you.

I feel for your situation. I'm basically in the same. Been divorced for 23 years now. I'm just a couple of years younger than you and not sealed to anyone. I worry about my exaltation as well. I don't think you and I are the only ones in this boat.

I think the reason you don't want to go on a mission is totally dumb. And extremely vain and selfish. Sounds like all you can think about is yourself. Such a shallow shallow person. I hope you don't go on a mission to represent the Church with that kind of attitude.

Yes

Only 6 women in the Book of Mormon are actually mentioned by name: Sariah Isabel Abish Eve Sarah Mary

I hope you noticed that he used the tongue out emoji. What he said was pretty much tongue in cheek.

Mosiah 5:7 can be a bit confusing. Here is what Joseph Fielding Smith said: "The Son of God has a perfect right to call us his children, spiritually begotten, and we have a perfect right to look on him as our father who spiritually begot us. "Now if these critics would read carefully the Book of Mormon, they would find that when the Savior came and visited the Nephites, he told them that he had been sent by his Father. He knelt before them, and he prayed to his Father. He taught them to pray to his Father, but that did not lessen in the least our duty and responsibility of looking upon the Son of God as a father to us because he spiritually begot us." (Conference Reports, Oct. 1962, p. 21)

I love the part where King Benjamin starts telling his people all about Christ to be born. That his mother will be Mary. Of all the wonderful things he will do. And this was about 124 BC. So already he was letting people know the Messiah was coming.

Don't be sorry. It made me do a little research and study which is always good. Never apologize for your questions here.

Thanks for the answer to my question. I totally missed that in vs 5.

This is what I found in the Book of Mormon about seed. It doesn't mention mustard seed but it does mention a seed and a tree springing up. If we give place, that a seed may be planted in your heart, behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed…behold, it will be to swell within your breasts; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to say within your yourselves–It must needs be that this is a good seed. Alma 32:27 If we nurture that seed patiently and diligently, Alma says, eventually “it shall be a tree springing up unto everlasting life” (Alma 32:41). Alma later explained to his son Helaman, “By small and simple things are great things brought to pass” (Alma 37:6).

So I do have a question that might be silly but it just hit me as I was reading in Mosiah 2. (Yes I'm behind). I was always under the impression that all people in the land were invited to come hear King Benjamin speak. Yet in this chapter, King Benjamin uses the term "brethren" a lot. So were only men there? Or was he speaking more to the heads of households so that they could teach their families?

You beat me to it.

Could you imagine having to make a written copy of King Benjamin's speech for every single person there? Not like in our day today with video/audio recording devices and all of the technology we have.
