If someone asked you, “Has a baby experienced spiritual death?” would you know the answer? The answer is: Yes and No. Why? Because there are two kinds of spiritual death. This article shows how widely this concept is misunderstood by many Latter-day Saints.

I would love to ask proponents of outlawing circumcision this question: Would you have any objections to circumcising a fetus? If it were medically possible to circumcise an unborn human in-utero, and there was near zero chance of harm to the mother, would it be fine, in your view, to “mutilate” its genitals? If the answer is “No, it’s wrong to circumcise a fetus,” then I would ask how they can reconcile that with the idea that it’s OK to abort a fetus.

I just noticed this morning that there seem to be two principle uses of the phrase “four corners” in the scriptures. First is the gathering of Israel. They’ll be scattered to and gathered from “the four corners of the earth.” Second is the altar of sacrifice in the tabernacle (and later the temple).
