Didn’t Jesus teach people to go the extra mile?

Had Judas not killed himself, should he have been allowed remain in the Twelve?

Is it true that Natasha was criticizing the church using vulgar language?

That’s from a letter to one of his wive’s on the subject of plural marriage if I’m not mistaken.

This is something President Nelson keeps emphasizing: The need for us all all to acquire our own spiritual strength. It’s an empowering message has been running through all his talks since he became President of the Church.
