What does it mean by “hell”? It comes from the Greek “Hades” or the Hebrew “Sheol” which is the place the dead dwell after death but before resurrection. /2
This is already a point in favor of the #ChurchofJesusChrist which is one of the few Churches who recognize that the dead dwell in a place between the death and resurrection. Catholics might see this as purgatory, but EVs largely ignore the Biblical verses suggesting this /3

Yesterday marked four years with Russell M. Nelson as the Lord's Prophet and President of His Church on the Earth.
President Nelson is 97 years old, and may soon become the oldest living Prophet to date. 👀
His life coming to a close and another Apostle taking his place is an eventual reality.
Furthermore, it is most likely that the next Prophet and President will be Dallin H. Oaks.

I love you, @RonaldARasband. I believe you are trying your best. I have felt a strong witness that President Nelson is a prophet of God. I also believe that the church’s messaging around Covid needs to change, especially for the sake of our youth. Hear me out (thread) /
During a recent youth fireside in S Africa, a teen asked if he should get vaccinated. You told him to follow the prophet’s counsel & get vaccinated.
Are you aware of the data that for young men, hospitalization 4 vaccine side effects is more likely than Covid hospitalization?/

Here’s some real talk for members of The #ChurchofJesusChrist of Latter-day Saints that you’re not likely to hear from very many people.
The hot button issue of our time (in the Church) is very clearly, issues raised involving people who identify as LGBT.

I know of very few members of the Church who HAVEN’T been deeply and personally affected by the complexities of these issues.
Difficult, life changing decisions have been made by many as members (Straight and LGBT alike) personally navigate their individual situations.

In 1995 the Church issued The Family: A Proclamation to the World which concisely, definitively and specifically speaks to the doctrine of God regarding marriage, gender, sexuality, and family, ALL of which can be backed by scripture and prophetic teachings.

In Primary she met Rodolfo C. Franco, a child who later became her best friend. When she was 18, her family moved to Utah. At that time, she and Rodolfo knew they wanted to marry, but Rodolfo was required to serve in the Argentine military for a time.
The two wrote letters, and when he completed his military service, they married on December 15, 1978, in the Salt Lake Temple. They are the parents of three sons.
