I’m so grateful that my faith and my family has taught me to embrace differences. Please watch this and share kindness. https://t.co/KCLl0VJzyR #givethanks#CaptureKindness
@CUBoulder AI could have done better than this. This is awful. Fire the PR department or whoever wrote this non-apology. An appropriate response to this is not hard. Whether it's racism or anti-religious chants: stop the game. Make everyone in the sections where the chant originated leave.
Joe: So the name of the church is The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints, but they're not Christians?
Trump: Joe, let me tell you something, alright? They are more Christian than anyone. I know Christians, believe me—I'm practically an expert on Christians. These guys, the Mormons, they’ve got the 'Jesus Christ' right there in the name! You can’t get more Christian than that. It's like saying McDonald's isn't a burger place. Ridiculous.
Joe: But some people say their beliefs are... well, different. They’ve got extra books and a whole history that’s not mainstream.
Trump: Joe, people say all kinds of things. People say a lot of fake news. But let me tell you, these Mormons, they're terrific. Tremendous people. They’ve got a book, yes, a great book—multiple books, actually, just like libraries! And libraries are full of books, and you don’t see anyone calling them weird. It’s just more value, Joe. More bang for your buck.
Joe: So you're saying they’re as Christian as anyone else?
Trump: As Christian as it gets. They’re tremendous, and honestly, I think they’re onto something with the multiple heavens. I might start a Trump Tower in Heaven someday. Gold-plated, the best views...
Our hearts are heavy with sorrow. Millions of us are mourning the passing of our beloved Prophet and President, Russell M. Nelson. He was a dear friend and a cherished leader.
His timeless teachings continue to guide us and help us find comfort amid suffering, especially in the wake of the recent violence aimed at members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Michigan this past Sunday.
The awful tragedy that took place in Grand Blanc, Michigan, on September 28, reminds us of our sacred responsibilities as followers of Jesus Christ. We mourn with our members who have lost loved ones, and we join in prayer for comfort with others around the world who are suffering from similar tragedies.
We all seek answers and understanding in the wake of trauma, shock, and grief. We are grateful to all who are reaching out with service, prayers, and words of support during this difficult time.
May we all remember the truth that each of us is a beloved child of God. Our Savior Jesus Christ, through His infinite Atonement, overcame death and gives us the joyful assurance that each of us will be gloriously resurrected.
On behalf of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I extend this expression to the family and friends of those affected by this recent tragedy and all others who may be experiencing loss and heartache at this time.

Christianity is under attack.
In his prayer dedicating the site and construction process, Elder Dunn pleaded with the Lord to bless the people who will soon begin constructing the temple — the workers, craftspeople and artisans. https://t.co/1Ij3rXdvz9
Here’s the full address just delivered by Utah’s @GovCox .
It is, quite honestly, one of the most powerful speeches I’ve ever heard from a politician, or anyone, for that matter.
Please sit down for 10 minutes and listen. You won’t regret it, I promise.
The Lord expects us to be peacemakers.
Difficult as it may seem to be, we have the responsibility to pray for those who may persecute us, as Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount.
We need to learn to leave judgment to Him.

Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny” (“The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” Gospel Library).

Joseph Smith was the Lord’s instrument in the Restoration in this dispensation. But what did the Lord restore through him?
Here is a very brief list of the massive additions the Lord inspired the Prophet Joseph to make to the fullness of Christian doctrine:
1.The nature of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
2.The relative functions of these three members of the Godhead and Their relationship to mortal beings.
3.The nature of the Fall of man.
4.The purpose of mortal life in furtherance of the Father’s plan for His children to attain their eternal destiny.
5.The role of the Atonement of Jesus Christ in assuring immortality and providing the opportunity for eternal life.
6.The role of earthly and eternal marriage in the Father’s plan.
7.The role of priesthood and ordinances in the Father’s plan.
8.The role of proxy ordinances and temples in the Father’s plan.
9.The knowledge that God desires to save all of His children and that every person who has lived upon this earth—whether then knowing of Jesus Christ or not—is capable of attaining the highest glory hereafter.
10.The relationship of the threefold sources of truth about man and the universe: science, scriptures, and continuing revelation.
Anyone who studies even a small list of the massive additions the Lord inspired the Prophet Joseph to make to the fullness of Christian doctrine must acknowledge that Joseph Smith was the prophetic source of an immense stream of bold and new and precious religious ideas.
