What would be the problem for missionary trainees to disperse throughout the BYU student wards and neighboring wards that are within walking distance? They could go in five-somes with instructions to NOT separate.

Only a few. Some were confused on the Baptism of Repentance (as administered by John the Baptist) and the Baptism for Membership in Christ's New Church (which came later in the three year ministry and post-resurrection). Some Jewish converts needed to be taught that circumcision was no longer required in the New Church. The difference between the two baptism was the ordinance for Confirmation for the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Cleopas and Simon were on the road to Emmaus discussing the events of the Crucifixion when they were joined by the veiled Christ. So what does Jesus do for these two men? He teaches them all over again: "Beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself" (Luke 24:27). At eventide, after the Savior disappears from them, they rushed back to Jerusalem to share their experience with the Apostles. There Jesus appears to the whole group fully revealing Himself. This was the SOLID core of Christianity at the very beginning. That included faithful women who were witnesses of the Resurrection. Plus all the devoted disciples from the three year ministry. There was solid orthodoxy at the beginning. It was decades later when the Apostles (Peter and Paul and others) were warning of devious wolves in sheep clothing.

Not quite. The "reach" of gravity is infinite (or the full "extent" of the universe). In other words, everything has some degree of "pull" on everything else regardless of distance or mass. Gravity does NOT "take effect" when "the two dimples overlap". It is omnipresent everywhere on everything. If some can speculate on parallel universes, this can also be explored. Who knows if the event horizon universe could exist in its own space-time for a LOT longer time than for the event horizon's brief existence? It is said that God can see all of time simultaneously. To me, that would necessitate a God being a many dimensional being.

Are there contradictions here? How could gravitation NOT be a force? If it "separated from the other forces" thus implying it IS a force among others? Why would not gravitation be a force if it can cause two objects (masses) to be "drawn" to each other? Thus converting potential energy into kinetic energy with the acceleration of the masses? If the trajectory is right, there will be a violent collision which translates kinetic energy into intense heat. Within that interval of 10E-43 seconds, we have space and time. Would not gravitation already exist at some time between the moment of the Big Bang and 10E-43 seconds? If there was space-time, then gravity should already be present as "a function of space-time" BEFORE the time came for the separation of OTHER forces? I believe there are still more layers and dimensions to delve into before we can have a complete cosmological model. It might turn out that there will NOT be complete entropy (heat death of the universe). That we will discover that the observations and conjectures are incorrect and conclude the Big Bang did NOT occur. I believe the universe to be infinite. Was "matter unorganized" the end stage of entropy of only a part of the universe? The power of God is able to reuse/revitalize dissipated matter/energy?

Thank you for the link to the Dallas Temple district. It is stunning to see that there are 29 stakes in it. Including North Louisiana Shreveport Stake and Longview Stake! Are you hearing any rumblings concerning the Fort Worth Temple? Or is it still in the planning stage? ETA: I see that the link is indicating that Fort Worth Temple is in construction phase.

I looked at Google Maps. It appears to be quite a distance from the airport to the proposed temple. Would travelers need to pass through Fairview to get to the location? I googled the following and received an AI response: My question: what are names of lds stakes and districts around area of McKinney and Fairview The AI did not make it clear: how many stakes are there in McKinney and Fairview? What will be the actual extent of the McKinney Texas Temple district?

It is bureaucratic arrogance to dictate the naming of independent religious shrines. It is like controlling the "free speech" rights of the Church. What business is it for government, for example, to mandate the Roman Catholic Church to name a cathedral to be "Matthew Shepard Memorial" instead of their normal designations such as "Our Lady of Guadalupe" or "Basilica of the Twenty-Six Holy Martyrs" ? So much pettiness among the P&Z committee and the local citizens!
