President Dallin H. Oaks speaks at funeral service for Latter-day Saint apostle M. Russell Ballard

[@flowersister9885]

Elder Ballard was a good example of a family man, a disciple of Christ, and a member missionary.

It makes my heart rejoice to see Elder Holland looking so healthy again. I've missed him, and am so grateful for his recovery.

[@anaseinilangi8890]

A covenant Deciple of Jesus Christ. We will miss you and you have been an example of a great spiritual giants and with continuing faith and testimony of Jesus Christ.

[@KellyMillerldspoetry]

It's a glorious experience to share a testimony bright, to speak with love and feel encircled with Christ's light!

A great man indeed

Preface… concerning the Twelve Apostles of the Lamb... Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth... And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord. First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord. (D&C 112:24-26) O my people, they who lead thee cause thee to err and destroy the way of thy paths. (2 Nephi 13:12) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition...(2 Thessalonians 2:3) ...so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (2 Thessalonians 2:4) ...until he be taken out of the way. (2 Thessalonians 2:7) While that man, who was called of God and appointed...shall fall by the shaft of death, like as a tree that is smitten by the vivid shaft of lightning. (D&C 85:8) ...the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation...(2 Timothy 3:15) If ye love me, keep my commandments. (John 14:15)

Mormons don't believe that the Book of Mormon challenges or contradicts the Gospel. Rather it confirms and supplements it joyously!

[@ApatiEktetheimenos]

Mormonism is so offensive to Christians. But does any LDS member have any idea why? Not really... they are too proud to ask.

[@SO-rj3pe]

Here is what I know as a born and raised Mormon. The loss is real for his family but for the LDS church here comes a repetitious time for this Church to “elect” another old/white/entitled/American to preside over a church that has too many Temples… Especially in Utah. Look at the Utah population and the number of Temples and the tithing (tax haven) money used or surely misused is criminal. I love the Choir and always will. I love their dedication and always will. I love how the Choir makes me feel and always will watch the Christmas concert from Temple Square (my Parent’s were married there) so it’s personal but the politics, the nepotism (not spiritual guidance) but self survival is very apparent and sad. Another “business” with feels but in the end it’s another business that while not as obnoxious as others on TV spouting miracle cures is just another business.

Rude!! Go shame the church somewhere else and not some incredible apostle’s funeral who gave countless hours of service

[@AtomicPixels]

Why does old white or American have anything to do with how religions elect those they believe god calls them to elect? I’m not Mormon, but everything you just said lacked an astounding level of even the most basic, structural ingredients of logic. Even most children at 2yrs old somehow manage to parry more elegantly than to passively poop their victimhood on the closest tripe trolling woke topic.

[@chrissandum7650]

Good man, could have used that spirit of discernment better.

I find the timing of his demise slightly disturbing. Considering the almost-unleashed hell coming with the risk of him exposing the current ongoing corruptions around him. I should only think this stands to tag him as one of the good ones.
