  • The study also found that Mormons had the highest score of any religious group in their knowledge of what the Constitution says about religion and the government. In a recent address, Elder Dallin H. Oaks, an apostle, spoke about the four major fundamentals of the United States Constitution.

  • Sister Javzandulam's garden is her only source of income. She said, "Planting is easy, but selling is hard." She rents a truck to transport her produce to the big city of Ulaanbaatar so she can sell produce there. In order to store her remaining produce, she dug a large hole in the ground on her property.

  • "I have felt many enormous blessings were passed on. The Lord has also helped me find people for other people. If you look, you will find the names," she said.

    Esmeralda and Ricardo have three children and 15 grandchildren and are looking forward to the birth of their fifth great-grandchild.

  • Age and cataracts made 12-hour days in front of a computer screen difficult, but cataract surgery helped her get back on track with the genealogy work, which she cares deeply about. At times she was worried she was recording incorrect information but was assured by a friend who told her to follow the Spirit's direction. As a result of her efforts, she has recognized blessings.

  • We'll mention that briefly in a minute. The new project, which has had as many as fifty-nine people at one time working on the project, of which I believe there are twenty-two full-time people working on it today, the first volume of diaries, the journals, came out last fall and at press right now is the second volume of the Smith papers, which will be the first volume of the Revelation series set to be published on the significant date of September 22nd.

  • Ancient prophets saw the current day and provided powerful warnings about modern-day pride, he said. "The Book of Mormon was written for us. It bears witness of Jesus Christ and warns us of the perils of pride, both in prosperity and adversity ... Whether in prosperity or adversity, if we are not diligent and faithful, even the elect, even those greatly blessed by the Lord, can fall prey to the great lie and become hard-hearted, self-absorbed, stiff-necked and puffed up in their pride."

  • He told the thousands of students gathered in the Marriott Center for the BYU devotional that pride is manifest through Satan's "great lie" and spoke of the need to follow the contrasting "great truth" of God's plan.

  • "When I turned 11, we had to leave East Germany overnight because of the political orientation of my father.... We were refugees again and had lost everything for the second time.

  • Strong motives

    "(A)s a 10-year-old boy, I attended fourth grade and had to learn Russian as my first foreign language. Initially it was quite difficult because of the Cyrillic alphabet, but as time went on I seemed to manage all right.

  • "The (Mormon) missionaries taught us important gospel principles. One missionary, Elder Stringham, impressed me very much with his lessons on the Pearl of Great Price, especially where Moses is being taught that he is a Son of God. Elder Stringham also taught me the scripture that says, 'If God be for us, who can be against us?' (Romans 8:31).

  • Being on the Lord's side

    "In 1951 and 1952, I attended the Frankfurt branch, which was not as big as the one in Zwickau. The Frankfurt meetinghouse was small, and we had classes in the basement

  • President Uchtdorf: 1950s

  • Such critics lose sight of "the larger issue," said John Gee, an associate research professor of Egyptology at the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship at BYU.

    "The book of Abraham is true," said Brother Gee, author of A Guide to the Joseph Smith Papyri, at the end of his presentation. "I think it can be defended. I think it should be defended. But it's not the be-all-and-end-all of either apologetics or research or the scriptures."

  • While critics of the Church often challenge the authenticity of the Book of Abraham in the Pearl of Great Price, they attach more importance to it than Church members do themselves, a Latter-day Saint Egyptologist said Aug. 6 at the annual conference of the Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research (FAIR).

  • After defining the problem of shaken faith in detail, Brother Ash spends the remainder of the book touching on a number of the issues that arise from anti-Mormon literature or even faithful literature that is not read in its full context. Ash explains that this book is not intended as a scholarly thesis on all issues relating to an intellectual apostasy.

  • Brother Ash states that one of the goals of his book is to expose or inoculate members to potentially troubling issues in a faithful setting, thereby inoculating them against the damage that might be inflicted by critical attacks. The Internet has exposed many Church members to negative information and propaganda about the Church. Shaken Faith Syndrome recognizes this problem and provides information that can assist Church leaders and members in dealing with this growing problem.

  • The transition from the book of Mosiah to the book of Alma is another change in political lineage. The sons of Mosiah (son of Benjamin) refused the kingship and the monarchy is replaced by a system of judges. The book of Alma begins not with the first Alma, but with the first of the new line of rulers as Alma the Younger becomes the first chief judge

  • "It's hard to say what women really want and what they like," Permann said of picking songs to perform and record. "We like to use music that is meaningful to us and if it inspires us and speaks to us."

    On their new CD, "Beautiful Dawn," each of the songs relates to a situation or experience or something at least one of them is passionate about, Stone said.

  • "The reason we loved (the name) 'Mercy River' was the analogy that the Lord's mercy is like a river and it's constantly flowing to anyone anytime anywhere," Muller said.

    They've had formal vocal and piano training and meet several times a week with children in tow at a friend's place in Sandy, Utah, to sing.

  • And they will get to do it all again as Mercy River is scheduled to perform at nearly a dozen different events on the Time Out for Women 2010 Infinite Hope tour this year including the Orlando, Fla., event March 6 and in Indianapolis on April 17. Time Out for Women is sponsored by Deseret Book and they bring authors, musicians and other LDS-themed inspirational speakers for a two-day event.

  • But there is that two-hour break between sessions when many sit down to eat, whether it has simmered in a slow cooker for two hours or (on Saturday) it's pizza delivered to the church.

    But are there treats or other foods that are considered conference traditions? What are some of the traditional foods and recipes that you or your family have during conference time?

  • Science tells us a different story. According to archaeologists, anthropologists, and DNA specialists, the first human migrations to the New World happened at least 15,000 years ago and probably came across a land bridge (the Bering Strait) that once connected Alaska to Siberia. A number of scientists also recognize the possibility of multiple small transoceanic crossings from the Old to New World by way of watercraft.

  • Early American settlers were fascinated with the fact that the New World was already inhabited by indigenous people. From where did these people originate? A number of frontiersman theorized that the Indians were remnants of the ten lost tribes of Israel. At first blush, this theory seemed to fit fairly well with the overall story of the Book of Mormon, however, the Book of Mormon peoples did not purport to come from any of the "lost tribes."

  • Tvedtnes suggests that curse applied to the Lamanites was that they were cut off from the presence of the Lord. Nephi states: Wherefore, the word of the Lord was fulfilled which he spake unto me, saying that: Inasmuch as they will not hearken unto thy words they shall be cut off from the presence of the Lord. And behold, they were cut off from his presence. 2 Nephi 5:20

  • But why would the bestowal of the keys of the dispensation of the fulness of times have been timed to coincide with a special anniversary of the Resurrection? One possible reason is that one use of the phrase "fulness of time" referred to the time when the law of Moses would be fulfilled. Lehi prophesied that "in the fulness of time he [the Redeemer] cometh to bring salvation unto men." (2 Ne. 2:3.)

  • Finally, Elijah's own declaration seems to favor the significance of the 3 April 1836 date, for it was then that he declared, "The keys of this dispensation are committed into your hands." (D&C 110:16.)

  • Thus, apparently this dispensation could not have fully begun before 3 April 1836, when the keys of Elijah were restored. But by July 1837 the dispensation apparently was in progress, when the Lord called it "the dispensation of the fulness of times" and referred to "the keys of the dispensation" which had been restored. (D&C 112:30-32.)

  • It's just wrong to have fictional characters make up scriptural verse.

  • you are using the ATHEIST argument!

    I find it VERY telling you use the argument invented by those who reject God!

  • Where's Elmo? Where's Zarahemla? No one seems to know.

  • so once we find the city with the name of Zarahemla, you will convert and try to become a good person?

  • SE!

    Only my hair dresser knows for sure.

    I am already a worthy person according to lds beatitudes and the word of wisdom.

    I am a terrible wretch to a holy God.

  • @awolLDSasap

    a terrible wretch to your fellow man too!

    That means you can NOT keep the two great commandments.

    I am sure you will find some way to justify this.....

  • Hold on to that thought and try to convince God who is a consuming fire that you alone are a worthy person. Your own lips will condemn you to hell.

  • @awolLDSasap

    2 Nephi 16:7

    "And he laid it upon my mouth, and said: Lo, this has touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged."

    But then again, you guys believe REPENTANCE is OPTIONAL!

  • NO! You need to repent from worshipping a false god. You believe theft from Biblical verse to prop up your religion is a good thing. It's nothing more than a herecy.

  • @awolLDSasap

    I thought your types believe repentance is optional?

  • An angel of God never put anything on your sinfull lips.

  • @awolLDSasap

    FAIL!

    I still think it is funny and yet sad that your types think REPENTANCE is optional.

  • Repentance to what? Other men in a religion? Let me enlighten you. Slack off a bit from your church duties and watch the brethren overwhelm you with guilt from the law of the Old Testament. You don't understand the New Testament and the everlasting covenant made by Christ. What you cherish and call lds doctrine is Campbellite restoration theology.

  • @awolLDSasap

    you do NOT know what repentance is? Or you simply do NOT believe in repentance is necessary?

  • I ask again. Repent of what? Telling the truth? Presenting Biblical verse? Never!

  • @awolLDSasap

    how funny you can ask questions but you sure will NOT answer them!

    what do you fear?

  • I fear NO man, no priesthood, no authority of any religious leader. I fear God alone.

    How am I to respond when you never told me what sin I commited. I will never bow down and repent to a religion.

  • @awolLDSasap

    The problem is you know NO living God, and you reject the servants of the LIVING God.

    You appear to do so willingly too!

  • O, you are thoroughly conviced that you have the right stuff. There was a beginning for you to be convinced that the Bookofmormon was true. Where did that idea come from? If it was true, people wouldn't need to repeat I know, I know. They would say that it is the word of God and use it more often. Defenders of your faith seldom use lds doctrine when arguing against Biblcial verse.

  • @awolLDSasap

    the right stuff?

    am I an astronaut?

  • @omiolo. I suppose you are. You will become an exhalted spaceman who will inhabit a planet called omiolosphere. Perhaps your spirit children will look like you. That might worry some of the neighbors. kiddin...

  • @awolLDSasap

    I think it is so cute when you ANTImormon types parrot ANTImormon propaganda!

  • @omiolo OINK!

  • The Mississippi river, over which the Saints fled after the people of Carthage had set fire to Nauvoo, will flow for five hundred feet where once the studio laid out a desert for the picture Suez. The river, which will cost $25,000, will be two city blocks wide and six feet deep. The top will be frozen to a depth of six inches by employing the same ice machinery used by the studio in creating sets for Sonja Henie, the skating star.

  • Carthage includes a two-story jail where Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet, was shot to death during a night attack by a mob. The jail, too, is an exact reproduction.

  • The cities of Nauvoo and Carthage, Ill., already have risen on the studios back lot at a cost of $40,000. Nauvoo, which spreads out for movie purposes over three streets and includes thirty good-sized buildings, will be partly burned for one of the big spectacle scenes. Brigham Youngs home, the Latter-day Saint Temple and other historic places have been copied in exact detail from old photographs by the art director, William Darling.

  • @mdlinks

    **Which would mean**

    seems like you have a hard time defining and clarifying things.

    I am sure that is from years of confusing yourself.

  • Do you realize what you wrote was a LIE? or are you too far gone?

  • From this and numerous other experiences, both as an observer and a teacher himself, Brother Osguthorpe has distilled some guiding principles.

    The director of the Center for Teaching and Learning at BYU, he fills a role at the university similar in some respects to his calling as Sunday School general president.

  • @omiolo

    and then they all got naked and started touching each other. Nelson started prancing around showing his to all the deacons in the class.

  • Briana Allen teaches from the Pearl of Great Price and Old Testament in a Sunday School gospel doctrine class of the Salt Lake University 47th Ward, a single-adult unit that meets in the Church Institute building adjacent to the Salt Lake Community College campus in Taylorsville, Utah.

  • @omiolo

    Nelson suggested everyone come and touch his pearls of great price. He was then arrested for this as was the other General Authority accompanying him, george p lee.

  • I am pretty used to the ANTImormon LIES!

    Obviously if you had ANYTHING of worth against the LDS Church you would NOT have to LIE.

  • seriously, at what point in your life did you decide that you wanted to become a BAD person?

  • When the class ended, she said, 'Thank you, brothers and sisters, for teaching this lesson. I am here to help facilitate our conversation about this doctrine.' The topic was foreordination, and we never diverted from that topic at all."

  • HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA.

  • Chris Anderson, a former student and OSU alumnus, remembered Bailey as a down-to-earth man who offered him good advice.

  • Nevertheless, we can turn this sacred book into a best-read and best-applied book in our life. Let me suggest three activities that can help us turn the Book of Mormon into the best-read and best-applied book, which will empower us today to become more powerful priesthood holders, even as those in ancient times.

  • But just as important to her is speaking to LDS youths about living the standards of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Nelson was invited to speak at a girls camp, the same one she attended when she was younger. The following Sunday, a 16-year-old girl handed her a note that said she had struggled with some of the problems Nelson had talked about. Nelson's example gave the girl courage and resolve to change her life.

  • Renown from winning the pageant has brought Nelson many speaking opportunities. She will visit some 20 schools across the state in the next few months before the Miss USA Pageant in January. Her platform speech for the pageant, which she will give in high schools, is on the subject of underage drinking.

  • This talk was exceptional.

  • Fantastic message, Thanks for sharing.

  • LDS Elder Neal A. Maxwell talks about the challenges facing Mormons in politics vs religion

  • Brother Maxwell came to our Stake Conference not to long before he died.

    I admire his intelligence and he devotion to the Lord.

  • This is a testament of Jesus Christ

    He is alive

    He is the son of God

    He is the Savior of the World

    He is the mediator to the Father

    He is alpah omega

    He is the good shepherd.

  • The Birth of Christ in Scripture

    Ancient and modern prophets testify of Christs humble birth and of His condescension and love to dwell among mankind. Read the words of these prophets, as found in the Old and New Testaments, the Book of Mormon, and other scripture.

  • omiolo is not a christian he doesn't turn the other cheek he spends all day on his computer slagging off people who don't agree with warped sense of christianity and censors people from his comment page.

  • At this joyous season we invite you to learn more about the birth and life of our Savior Jesus Christ. These scriptures, articles, hymns, and messages will be helpful to anyone who is preparing a talk or lesson or would simply like to be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas.

  • Prophet Joseph smith..the biggest con artist , lier, a child molester (one of his 34 wives was only 14 years old)

  • That's one of the biggest lies I've heard from the anti community in a long time. Good try ;)

  • "Prophet Joseph smith..the biggest con artist"

    everyone keeps telling you, that you are LYING. Why doesn't that phase you?

    why is baring FALSE witness NOT a sin in your religion?

  • Research and you'll find out the truth.

  • "Research and you'll find out the truth. "

    I have and I continue to do so. That is why I can UNEQUIVOCALLY call you deceived!

  • hahhhahaha
