Since you made it political... No one is trying to remove people from our country for being "brown", they are being removed for entering our country illegally- whether they are brown, black, yellow, or even... white.

In the sense that He lived here as a mortal man, and is coming again as immortal King... yes. However, I believe your real question is: Will He visit all of His vast creation? Now that is a deep question, that I'm sure will engender varying ideas.

Hmmm.... Off the top of my head: Eve Sarah Rebecca Rachel Leah Samson's Mother Deborah Zipporah Miriam Ruth Esther Naomi Mary (mother of Jesus) Elizabeth Mary Magadelene Mary & Martha Dorcas Sarah Ammonite Mothers Emma Smith Vienna Jaques ** But sure we'll go with the "trend in scripture" of women not having the dignity of being acknowledged for their faithfulness and hard work. **

Are you referring to the verse quoted? Because in context, it is referring to those at the time of the flood, not the Sons of Perdition.

I'm fascinated by your implication that certitude concerning one's religion necessarily entails the scorning of other beliefs. Perhaps I am reading that sentence wrong, but it seems to be the implications based on the context of your overall post.

Can't find it this second, but I'm pretty sure Church leaders have counseled parents not to pressure or bribe their lukewarm kids into serving missions hoping they will gain a testimony. If your parents did that, it was your family and/or community culture, not Church counsel.

I was like "Stand by Me"?! But then I went and looked it up, it's nice really.

It's interesting how a person's unique, individual family experience sets a precedent in their mind for how the whole Church functions. Sociologically fascinating really.

If they do here is there any reason to believe they don't there? Perhaps, you are reading the verse a little too literally. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am "taking that route" because she keeps mischaracterizing Charlie as "racist, racist, and misogynist" yet refuses to watch anything from the very people she says Charlie attacked defending him. She is disingenuous. "Moron" is mild compared what she is calling him. He used facts and stats all the time, but I shouldn't be surprised you refuse to see it.

Fin.

You are an utter moron. The foxes have taken over this henhouse. I'm done.

This place is impossible! Are you seriously not seeing the reactions happening about his assassination? He was making a huge impact with the youth. Calm, I am truly sorry, but in your efforts to satisfy both sides you have lost the plot. I think I need a break from this place for awhile.

You are seriously going to sit here and say that there isn't an aggressive liberal bias on American University and College campuses??? No point even interacting with you.

The liberal bias at our Universities and Colleges has been thoroughly documented- so miss me with all that.

Charlie debating "adults":

"24 And there stood one among them that was like unto God, and he said unto those who were with him: We will go down, for there is space there, and we will take of these materials, and we will make an earth whereon these may dwell; 25 And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them; 26 And they who keep their first estate shall be added upon; and they who keep not their first estate shall not have glory in the same kingdom with those who keep their first estate; and they who keep their second estate shall have glory added upon their heads for ever and ever." (Abraham 3) **The bolded part intrigues me as it seems to suggest that this Earth is the location of not just this mortal, second estate- but also where our first estate took place. We know that the post-mortal "Spirit World" is here in Earth, is it possible that the pre-mortal "Spirit World" is also here on Earth, and we are just moving between three dimensions? Thoughts? Have any of our deep thinkers opined on this?

"For he was baptized while he was yet in his childhood, and was ordained by the angel of God at the time he was eight days old unto this power, to overthrow the kingdom of the Jews, and to make straight the way of the Lord before the face of his people, to prepare them for the coming of the Lord, in whose hand is given all power." As we studied Doctrine and Covenants 84 today, verse 28 struck me in a different way because of recent videos I've been watching featuring David Butler, Jonah Barnes and others that speak of Temple Priests being the 'angels' referred to in some Biblical texts. So, I propose that the "angel" that ordained John the Baptist to his mission at 8 days old was none other than his own father Zechariah. Luke 1:59, 76-79: "And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father... And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." Thoughts?

In the wake of the Ryder Lyons decision to play for BYU, I've noticed reports varying from him serving an 18 month mission to a 1 year mission. In comments trying to correct it to a 2 year mission, several responders have stated athletes are being given the option of shortened missions. I also saw something about BYU considering subsidizing missions for athletes. For those in the know... Is any of this true? If so, I lodge an informal complaint here at MDDB where it counts for absolutely nothing. 😉
