    Before the resurrection there will be differences in the state of spirits based on their righteousness. After the resurrection the remaining differences will be when more defined and permanent.

  • A faithful son

    It must have been a pleasure to Alma to be able to turn the plates over to his son.

  • Would ye not behold quickly

    David

    O my brethren, if ye could be healed by merely casting about your eyes that ye might be healed, would ye not behold quickly, or would ye rather harden your hearts in unbelief, and be slothful, that ye would not cast about your eyes, that ye might perish Alma 33:21 I have always known that…

  • The end of all nations

    Does “the end of all nations” spoken of mean that nationalities will cease to matter? Will this be before the millennial reign out during it? There are many ways this could be fulfilled but we will either unite into something larger than nations it fracture into clans and families.

    Korihor was willing to tell lies that were verifiably untrue and to stand by then even when they were exposed. He clearly followed the philosophy that manipulating emotions among his listeners was more important than any objective truth. (Sounds familiar.)

    David
    in

    And it came to pass as he began to expound these things unto them they were angry with him, and began to mock him; and they would not hear the words which he spake. Therefore, when he saw that they would not hear his words, he departed out of their synagogue, Alma 21:10-11 This is…

  • The body hath need of every member

    —

    by

    David
    in

    Therefore, take with you those who are ordained unto the lesser priesthood, and send them before you to make appointments, and to prepare the way, and to fill appointments that you yourselves are not able to fill. Behold, this is the way that mine apostles, in ancient days, built up my church unto me. Therefore,…

  • The bondage of sin

    —

    by

    David
    in

    The Lord started that those who do not come into Him are under the bondage of sin. Is that because by not coming to him their sins have not been washed clean in His blood or does it mean something more, that all those who do not come into him are necessarily under the influence…
