- Why is family genealogy so important in the Mormon church?
- Our son’s patricarchal blessing tell him that he is from the tribe of Judah, while all the other patriarchal blessings in our family state that we are from Ephraim. What does this mean?
- Why do Mormon’s eat pork when they believe in the Old Testament which forbids it?
- The identity of the various genetic factions of the peoples called Nephites and Lamanites in the Book of Mormon were maintained until the time of Christ, but were initiated again about 200 years later. How were the original family relationships maintained over the bridge of 200 years?
