    Why didn't Paul warn us about Hell?

    I don't know if the word hell is as important as the idea of being punished eternally for unrepented sin. Paul definitely warned us that there were penalties for sin. One of the greatest examples I can think of is Hebrews chapter 10, especially vs. 26 to the end of the chapter. Make sure to read...

    Are LDS Prophets Only Speculating?

    Some talks are worthy of cannonization, others not so much. But, like the scriptures they are for our benefit. To answer your question, yes and no, each conference some talks rise to that of equality with scripture in my mind.

    Are LDS Prophets Only Speculating?

    It gave a decent history of mourning tattoo practices and then speculates on the reason why Christ might denounce the practice. No, because they are in direct contact with the Lord. No, but I don't think they sinned. If they knew better and willingly rebelled they were in sin. If they accepted...

    Are LDS Prophets Only Speculating?

    First you say that Christ did not tell us to tattoo or pierce our bodies and then you give this to somehow support your view. I know this is the OT, but who exactly do you think the Lord is in these scriptures? It is the premortal Christ. Also, whether Christ's words on the subject are...

Is it because the prophet doesn't like them, or because Christ would rather we kept our bodies clean from those things? I don't know, but he is the prophet and if an LDS person is going to call him a prophet and...

    Are LDS Prophets Only Speculating?

    I am in agreement with my fellow LDS posters. The fact is, every issue may not of themselves seem that important to some as to call it essential for exaltation, but they are part of a larger issue. The world may see a tattoo as an expression of personality or individuality, but within the church...

    Are LDS Prophets Only Speculating?

    Generally speaking a general authority or others asked to speak at conference will speak on an issue such as avoiding sin, or preparing for temple marriage, or inviting the Holy Ghost by righteous living. In each message that we hear and internalize we gain knowledge of what God would have us...

    Are LDS Prophets Only Speculating?

    Hi, this is my first post after a few days looking around. President Kimball was serious that our eternal lives depend on whether or not we hearken to the words of our prophets, and seers. It is their responsibility as such to warn, teach and expound on the things they have been revealed and...
