“We recommend that people marry those who are of the same racial background generally, and of somewhat the same economic and social and educational background (some of those are not an absolute necessity, but preferred), and above all, the same religious background, without question”

Can Anyone Possibly Know the Truth?

Who are the “other sheep” in John 10:16?

Question Number 1 Who are the “other sheep” in John 10:16?

 Jesus announces that the law of Moses is fulfilled in him—The Nephites are the other sheep of whom he spoke in Jerusalem—Because of iniquity, the Lord’s people in Jerusalem do not know of the scattered sheep of Israel. About A.D. 34. Read on 3 Nephi 15 verse 21 of the book of Mormon.

Hear it say and i paste:
21 And verily I say unto you, that ye are they of whom I said: other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

No Trial That We Experience Is Wasted

“No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God . . . and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven.” (Elder Orson F. Whitney, in Kimball, Faith Precedes the Miracle, 98)
