Latter-day Saints/Expert Profile


Ask A Question

Expertise

I can answer questions concerning standard doctrines, scriptures, curiousities, Mormon culture and society. I will not respond to debates. I'm sorry, but there are some things that I simply will not answer, not because I don't want to, but there are some things that the LDS people do not discuss casually--it's only talked about within the temple. Though I am a member, I do not believe that anyone could convert anyone to a religion over something as impersonal as the internet. So I won't even try to.

Experience in the area

I was born and raised into an LDS family and baptized at age eight. Though I'm still a young person, I can answer most things about the church. I graduated from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Seminary of Religion and currently attend Brigham Young University, where all students study Latter-day Saint religion as well as their chosen field.

What do you like about this subject?

I like the subject, because I truly believe in the religion. It's a wonderful thing to me. But I will not try to convert anyone over the internet.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I've a lot to achieve and learn. I'm young. I think I'll want to graduate institute, maybe go on a mission, and just grow in my understanding and faith.

2009-09-22 Primary:

I'm sorry that my answer won't be a ton of help, as I've never worked in the Primary much. However, as far as I'm aware, the Primary secretary is also responsible for all the clerical work of presidency

2009-05-25 Did Joseph Smith test the spirit ??:

Thank you for considering things so closely. That is surely a lost trait in many people's religious studies today. In response to your question, the LDS church has always considered it a valid and wise

2009-04-09 Converting to LDS:

To convert someone means to bring someone into a religion. Even those who do not "have" a religion can be brought into a religion, because, you really do have a "religion" per se, it's the lack of religion

2009-04-03 womens equality:

The LDS Church believes (and has ALWAYS believed) that women are separate but equal. Just as we believe that there are jobs specific to men, there are jobs specific to women. Women cannot hold the priesthood
