@Latterdaytruth@mwbowler He is way more than a prophet, but he is absolutely still considered a prophet.
Deuteronomy 18:15 is about Christ and calls him a prophet: "The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;"
@thericebowlgirl Because it was never about building the tools. We don't pay for products and services because we can't build them, we pay for them so we don't have to. Meaning: it's about convenience, not skill.
@PurpleKoya21 I think it's hard for anyone to be hardcore one side or the other and continue firm / with a strong testimony as at that point many tend to put politics before faith. When placing anything before your faith your foundation starts to weaken.
@ATrueMillennial I didn't think guitars were ever fully prohibited—maybe electric / distorted ones—but I've played acoustic guitar a few times in sacrament
Our mortal life is but a moment in our existence, but that moment—sometimes very difficult—is of eternal importance.
Yes, our Heavenly Father wants us to learn and grow. And, yes, that growth at times entails disappointment and suffering. But He wants our lives to be beautiful and hopeful.
To that end, and to ease our journey back to Him, He has provided a Savior.
Through His love and atoning sacrifice, Jesus Christ has dealt with and healed everything we will encounter in life.
What a joy to repent and be forgiven through Christ's redeeming love!

@TruthHolder2023 We could probably also call Alma the younger and the sons of Mosiah former/reformed antichrists since they sought to destroy the Church of God.
Although I don't remember if they were specifically preaching against Christ, so maybe "antichrist" wouldn't be the proper term.
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). The greatest act of love was performed for you. How are you planning to show your love for Christ this Easter season?
As Mary Magdalene and her companions mournfully approached the Garden Tomb, two angels appeared to them and shared the clarion call of all Christianity:
"Why seek ye the living among the dead?"
"He is not here, but is risen" (Luke 24:5-6).
This Easter season we also joyfully testify of this same eternal truth—Jesus Christ is risen. He lives!
The Savior of the world was crucified and, on the third day, rose from the dead, "the firstfruits of them that slept" (1 Corinthians 15:20). His Resurrection allows all to be resurrected, and through His grace, we can find peace "which passeth all understanding" (Philippians 4:7) and "be perfected in him" (Moroni 10:32).
We invite each of you during this Easter season to "seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written" (Ether 12:41). As you do so, we testify that your Easter celebrations can strengthen your own faith and testimony that "death is conquered; man is free. Christ has won the victory" ("He Is Risen!" Hymns, no. 199).

@TheVintageluke@YouSpooneeBard The Greek used in John 17:21, John 10:30, and in the Septuagint version of Genesis 2:24 for "one" share the same root word "heis".
Hen is singular neuter of heis and is used in both the John verses.
Mian is singular feminine of heis and is used in Genesis 2:24.
Pretty neat!
I saw a quote that said “when I wake up, I pray that God gets in my head before I do”and honestly that’s the best advice I’ve heard and gosh did I need it.
AT THE NASHVILLE AIRPORT
GUY to gate agent: I’m on this flight… do you think I have enough time to change my guitar strings before boarding closes?
AGENT: It’s not a twelve-string, right?
GUY: Yeah, six strings
AGENT: You should be ok if you start right now
