  1. Good question. Mathew 21:33-37 "he sent his servants" "But last of all he sent unto them his son" This is a parable and not meant to say that Jesus is literally the last one sent. That wouldn’t make sense because Paul was made a prophet after the crucifixion. Luke 16:16 "The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached" This has already been explained. Acts 2:18 "And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy" If servants and handmaidens can prophesy, that must mean there has not been an end to prophets. However, there is order is who prophecies apply to. Ephesians 2:20 "built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone" This in no way precludes modern-day prophets. The foundation was laid, but this does not say there are no more apostles and prophets. Ephesians 4:11- "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets" "Till we all come in the unity of the faith" (See Galatians 3:28) KJV reads "And he agave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:" The saints are not perfect and the ministry still needs work so prophets are still needed. Hebrews 1:1-2 "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son" Yes, the Son came to earth and spoke to us. He then spoke to us through Peter, Paul, and others. Otherwise, we would not even have the book of Hebrews. We can still have prophets today.
  2. Maybe the Lord looked upon the people of Israel with sadness as He provided them with lower laws because they would not live the higher law. I wonder if my wife and I do that with our kids.
  3. There are no differences to what the Kindle and Kindle Touch can download. Only the Kindle Fire is different (very different). The Kindle Touch is just easier to use in my opinion. That ebook I linked to has the scriptures, Teachings of the Presidents, and other manuals, but NOT Preach My Gospel. Yes, that ebook is made for standard Kindles. I have not found Preach My Gospel at all for the Kindle (non-Fire/Android versions).
  4. Hmmm, looks like Teach My Gospel is not part of that ebook I linked to. That's odd.
  5. ONLY the Kindle Fire accesses "apps." It's the only version with the Android operating system. I have the cheapest ($79) Kindle and I like it, but I regret not getting the touch version ($99). The scriptures that are free in Kindle format are no good! I bought a good version for $2.99. There is NO official version for Kindle (the non-Android ones). So, you could get a regular Kindle and get something like this (scriptures, manuals etc): Amazon.com: LDS Scriptures - LDS eLibrary with over 350,000 Links, Standard Works, Commentary, Manuals, History, Reference, Music and more (Illustrated, over 100) eBook: LDS Church, James Talmage, Mormon, Joseph Smith, Joseph F. Smith, LDS Book Club: Or you could get the Kindle Fire and download the official Church apps for free.

  9. Please, please read a good book about raising boys. Stop spanking and yelling at him NOW. He is NOT BEING BAD.
  10. And there are far better things.
  11. There's a good talk by President Hunter about this. He said: ?Come unto Me? - Ensign Nov. 1990 - ensignThe truth is that it doesn't seem easy or light to me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
