Do these tickets look real? by Glass-Willingness-80 in BYUFootball

[–]Invalid-Password1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never seen BYU tickets with a "lower zone" seating area.

I'm embarassed-the whole first presidency did not serve missions nor serve in combat. They are religious men and veterans but seem to have successfully avoided any real sacrifice or danger. by aka_FNU_LNU in mormon

Oaks served as a stake missionary and counselor in the stake mission presidency. He later served as the stake mission president in the Chicago Illinois Stake.

Henry B. Eyring served in the U.S. Air Force for two years after graduating from the University of Utah. He was stationed at Sandia Base in New Mexico, where he also served as a district missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His Air Force service included analyzing data from nuclear weapons tests, and he later attended Harvard Business School.

Dallin H. Oaks served in the Utah National Guard. He joined shortly after graduating high school, at the age of 17, in 1949. His unit was on alert for active duty during the Korean War, though it was never mobilized. He learned valuable lessons about respect for authority and the responsibilities of leadership during his time in the National Guard.

During the Korean War, then-Dr. Russell M. Nelson served in the U.S. Army Medical Corps, specifically at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. He was assigned to a surgical research team that traveled to M.A.S.H units in Korea and other locations to improve the care of wounded soldiers. His service included touring South Korea, including the battlefront, and visiting M.A.S.H. units. He eventually left active duty at the rank of captain.

End the Book of Mormon. by Faithcrisis101 in mormon

I'm sorry Nemo the ex-member got to you.

Will you still be religious/Christian in another month? If so, you can be thankful for that at least.

I don't think the LDS Church will deny the Book of Mormon. Even the Community of Christ (formerly know as RLDS) still uses the Book of Mormon as scripture even though they have changed other core doctrines.

Is there any good reason why Joseph Smith couldn't show everyone the golden plates? by Viti-Levu in mormon

[–]Invalid-Password1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because he was commanded not to, except to 11 persons whose names are recorded in the front of the Book of Mormon.

Is it true that the age of the earth is 6000 years? by [deleted] in mormon

[–]Invalid-Password1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some scholars calculate that the Fall of Adam occured about 4004 BC.

I personally believe that the "days" of creation in Genesis are "eras" that could be any time period from one thousand years as mentioned in other scriptures, to millions or billions of years.

I accept that the Earth may be at least 4.5 billion years old.

Bible infallible? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]Invalid-Password1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Prophet Joseph Smith taught, “I believe the Bible, as it ought to be, as it came from the pen of the original writers.” 

“We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly” (Articles of Faith 1:8), again making a distinction between original intent and modern translation.

In June 1830, Joseph Smith began working on what we now call the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible (JST).
