The only one I'm aware of is the Back to the Future Series. Episodes 2 and 3 were made simultaneously. However, they aren't as complicated as the LOTR, and they only did two episodes at once, not all three. K'aya K'ama, Gerald/gary Smithgszion1 @juno.comhttp://www .geocities.com/rameumpt

Regardless, in 1836 when the revelation was given, Alvin still had not been baptized, but was considered by God good enough to be in a vision of the Celestial Kingdom. This tells me that the man was accepted as a 'true' Christian. K'aya K'ama, Gerald/gary Smithgszion1 @juno.comhttp://www

You are thinking of the short mortal term we live in. All will bow the knee and profess Christ as Lord. The majority of them will eventually accept Christ, and though they may not merit the Celestial Kingdom, they still will accept the gospel someday. It is just that they will not have the ability

So, until you get your eating habit under control, you aren't following the D&C, and this means you aren't a true Christian because you aren't following the prophets? I definitely wouldn't be considered one under your definition, either, since there are many things I struggle with and do not follow

I hesitate to weigh in on this. But perhaps if I confine my remarks to generic comments it will be okay. In fact, I know nothing about Brother Murphy and have never read his article. I had heard something of this gene study a while back when some bishop from Australia lost his feeble testimony ov
