I’m very interested, what differences have you found?

I can relate but in a different sense. I never once baptized a person in my mission that didn’t have a crisis the week before their baptism. Also lost a lot of people a week before their baptisms too.

Ordinances are “void” when the covenants made in the dealings are broken.
for example:
at baptism you promise to keep the commandments of God. In return God promises you his spirit. If you don’t keep your promise, you don’t get the blessing.
Sealings are the same. If you aren’t keeping the promises you made to your spouse and God, the blessings of the sealing will not be given to you.

“The Beggining”:
- In reference to the beggining if the Earth. The creation was revealed to Moses and that is where I came from. So I’m context (Moses 1-2), God is simply showing Moses how the Earth was made. So the phrase “the beggining” simply means “the first thing I did was...”
 
Importance of the Lesson of the Fall:
- Explains why we need the Atonement
- Explains our responsibility with agency
- Solves the “Problem of Evil”
- An essential portion of the Plan of Salvation. This and the Atonement are the only major events that have occurred dealing with the plan of salvation.
I personally feel the Fall alone contains a very large portion of the gospel, hence why we use it. It discusses the Atonement, Agency, POS, Obedience, Repentance and much more. It appears to me that the example of Adam and Eve are prototypes of what we all must go through. Be born, get married, sin, confess and repent.
 

My thoughts - Someone on a mission is not always how they are in the 'real world'. I thought there were clues/connections with someone I dated at your age - but I'm not married to him. Lastly, you need to date!! You don't have much to compare this guy to yet nor do you want to look back and wish you had enjoyed the dating scene while you were able.

That, or replace the word "God" with the word "Father." How many Fathers or fathers are there?
Thanks, -Wade Englund-

So.....
modern prophets and apostles make a concerted effort to get saints around the world to keep the Sabbath day holy......
then Poland outlaws commercial activities on Sunday......
and Kaepernick convinces Americans to voluntarily give up watching football.......
........

I appreciate this! Again... the moral of this story is not that we should kill if God tells us to x)

My answer is no, I will not listen to a voice in my head that tells me to take the life of another, we have a word for those people they are murders.
I would fail the test, but I'm no Nephi, or Abraham the Lord would have to choose another

I don’t think the purpose of these stories were to teach a bunch of saints to be willing to kill upon an impression. Rather he wants us to be obedient and faithful in all hazards of life.
Whatever revelation we receive must be compared to currently revelation from prophets and apostles.
I recently learned that Nephi’s killing of Laban was very much in line with current Jewish law and practice.
as far as the many times God commanded us people to destroy other people in the OT, or the almost sacrifice of Isaac, I’m not sure. I have speculations! But I can’t confidently say for sure. But someone far more intelligent than I probably does  
Lastly, I have learned that death is not as big of a deal as some of us make it (including me!). Far too often have a met people who got angry at God because a family member died. Spiritual death is what we should fear and God has never commanded or forced anyone to be damned.

@brlenox i stand corrected

I can relate but in a different sense. I never once baptized a person in my mission that didn’t have a crisis the week before their baptism. Also lost a lot of people a week before their baptisms too.

I also wonder “can Satan make us sick” or “can he break our car?” And “Can Satan kill my grandma He day before I get baptized”. 
I’ve seen this time and time again and often time believe that it is God testing us and not Satan.

Two cent... I drove those cars for 2 years, I know how missionaries treat them  I will never get one.
jk that was just a running joke in my mission. I’ll look into it
but if it is the same as my mission, they retire the cars at 50,000 miles. I don’t want anything over 20,000.

I’m still pretty young and haven’t had a ton of experience on this, but I do have 2 examples.
1) My wife and I are still in school and after reading the words of the prophets, discussing and praying about, we feel that we need to start a family. We actually find out our child’s gender on Monday  but this is for sure going to put a financial burden on us (already had). We have avoided debt this far because of previous savings but I feel like it is looming around the corner.
2) Closely related is our car situation. We both brought two cars into the marriage, both completely paid off. Well in the last year that we had the cars, we put $5000 in to them to keep them running. We ended up selling my car and now we just have her tiny little fiat 500. That car is way to small for a baby and it keeps having problems. So we are deciding to sell it and with the money we have, we are going to by a 2016 Honda Civic for $12000 with only 9,000 miles on it. We have $9000 to throw down on it now, but we will be going $3000 in debt for it. All this for the sake with the hope we won’t have car problems till at least year 2500 (cause you know Civics never die). We feel like this is a good move.
