Is God Omnipotent?

Last updated on: June 9, 2010 at 12:23 pm By emilyu

Timothy Ferris concludes his book on cosmology, The Whole Shebang, with a “Contrarian Theological Afterword.” Here, he writes that if God is omnipotent, then He must have free will. And if so, He was free to make the universe in any conceivable way. But if God was constrained in some way in making the universe, for example if He could only make it in the most reasonable way, or a way that promoted human existence, then God can’t be all-powerful. ...

Lesson 22: “The Lord Looketh on the Heart”

Last updated on: June 8, 2010 at 7:05 pm By David Bokovoy

Gospel Doctrine Lesson 22 presents students with an invitation to see others in the way God sees them, by looking carefully at the human soul rather than a person’s physical appearance. The lesson title derives from the story of the anointing of David as king over Israel, when the Lord declared unto the prophet Samuel, “Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth;...

Guest post- Giving Up Magical Thinking

Last updated on: June 4, 2010 at 12:06 pm By benspackman

By EmilyU I learned to pray from my parents, not that I remember it. I don’t remember my first prayer any more than I remember my first word. I assume I learned to pray the same way I learned to speak – by listening and imitating. My parents undoubtedly instructed me to repeat their words, showing me how to begin and end a prayer, and giving me examples of what goes between the bookends of a prayer. I learned to... Read more

DNA and the Concept of Kinship in the Book of Mormon

Last updated on: May 25, 2010 at 11:34 am By bhodges

The Book of Mormon claims to be a record of some of the ancestors of current Indigenous Americans (American Indians, Native Americans). This aspect of the book was especially important to early Mormons. What is the relationship between the Lamanites of the Book of Mormon and Indigenous Americans? How does modern DNA science help answer the question? Different Latter-day Saints (and critics) have answered these questions in radically different ways. Some argue DNA studies support the claims of the Book of... Read more

Gratitude and pain

Last updated on: May 17, 2010 at 11:43 pm By erin

A few weeks ago, I got sick. It came on steadily throughout the day. I felt tired and miserable. My body ached. When DH got home, he sent me to bed. As I laid there, I started identifying where I felt pain. My waist hurt. My toes hurt. My belly button hurt. My elbows hurt. My knees and wrists hurt. All the places in between hurt. As I was lying there feeling sorry for myself, my thoughts broadened. Some people... Read more

Yes, I KNOW you’re all doing Malachi this week… I’m stubbornly posting my podcast on Lesson 15 anyway, because some people might still want to listen to it and I spent too much time re-recording after a system crash and data loss to just let it go. Next time, I’m combining several lessons and perhaps skipping one in order to get... Read more
