Mormon Mutt: Misconceptions of Lamanites and Skin Color
http://mormonmutt.blogspot.com/2014/12/misconceptions-of-lamanites-and-skin.html
Monday, December 22, 2014. Misconceptions of Lamanites and Skin Color. Many people today have what I believe to be racist misconceptions about the relationship between the Lamanites of the Book of Mormon and the American Indians today. I will do my best to clear this up quickly and clearly. Now, assuming my point of view, which is that the only descendents of the Lamanites today are those of Algonquian and Iroquoian descent, this explanation of why most have darker skin is invalid. My reason why rest...

Mormon Mutt: October 2016
http://mormonmutt.blogspot.com/2016_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 9, 2016. Freemasonry is not a Secret Combination. As you may have surmised from the title of today's post, I will be briefly delving into the topics of Freemasonry and secret combinations, and why the two topics are entirely unrelated. Let's first talk about secret combinations. What are they? In the LDS Church's Guide to the Scriptures, a secret combination is "an organization of people bound together by oaths to carry out the evil purposes of the group.". Note: actually, anybody can.

Mormon Mutt: May 2014
http://mormonmutt.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 22, 2014. Inspirational Celebrities on Twitter. I don't normally talk about celebrities. It's not my normal interest to talk about those that have made it to the big times because what they do/say isn't any of my business. Adding all of these people made me think: Why am I adding them? Why do I care what they have to say? 1 Wes Studi;. I tip my hat to you, sir. (ᏣᎳᎩ ᎦᏕᎶᏆᎠ :D ᎠᏎᏃ ᏣᎳᎩ ᎦᏲᏟᏛ ᏥᏬᏂ). 2 Hayden Panettiere;. Ms Panettiere is a spokesperson for The Whaleman Foundation. Although sh...

Mormon Mutt: March 2016
http://mormonmutt.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 3, 2016. Reasons to learn (an)other language(s). So I decided to make a list of reasons why we should learn (at the very least) a secondary language, no matter what nationality we are. So here goes:. Many people (myself included) have goals of learning languages that they find in their family history. Some find it to be a way to honor their ancestors, their family name, etc. After all, where would we be if it weren't for them (indeed, would we be at all? Access to the Arts. More Opportuni...

Mormon Mutt: December 2014
http://mormonmutt.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 30, 2014. From Philomath to Polymath. So I have decided that I don't want to become an expert in just one thing in my life. That sounds like a life of boredom. So I have decided to pursue the life of a polymath. That makes me a philomath. What are polymaths and philomaths? I have made a list of the areas that I have decided to tackle. It may take a few years to get it all down, but I have made a thorough plan of how I will become a master:. I have also taken a huge interest in being abl...

Mormon Mutt: October 2015
http://mormonmutt.blogspot.com/2015_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 14, 2015. The Eighth Article of Faith. The Articles of Faith are from a letter that Joseph Smith, Jr, sent to John Wentworth, who had asked about the LDS Church's beliefs. They are like a creed. They state our beliefs in clear and concise points. I would like to focus on AoF #8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. The Bible is the word of God as far as it is translated correctly.

Mormon Mutt: Marriage Bashers
http://mormonmutt.blogspot.com/2014/12/marriage-bashers.html
Wednesday, December 24, 2014. To those of the second group, your marriage is a commitment that will sometimes require hard work and forgiveness. It can once again be a strong union full of trust, love, and friendship. To those of the third group, just because it did not work out before does not mean that you are doomed to fail the next time around. Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord." (1 Cor. 11:11). I love my wife very, very much. She is...

Mormon Mutt: September 2014
http://mormonmutt.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Why We Need the Book of Mormon. There are a lot of people out there - members and nonmembers of the Church alike - who either have misconceptions of the Book of Mormon or who use it improperly. I will first address the nonmembers about the need for this additional scripture. The full title of is The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.". All the house of Israel his companions:. And when the ...

Mormon Mutt: Childhood Heroes
http://mormonmutt.blogspot.com/2015/08/childhood-heroes.html
Thursday, August 13, 2015. Sorry for not having posted in a while. I actually worked for a month and a half doing a summer job in Alaska, but even before then I hadn't posted anything in a while. I'll try to do better from now on. He told us when we were little that if we focused on two important qualities, then we would end up being fine men in the future, and we would always have strong relationships with those around us: kindness and honesty; if the two ever conflict, choose kindness. A little-known f...
