There is use, sometimes, is asking questions for which we have no answers. This can be especially important in matters of faith. The question I pose here intrigues me–it does not undermine my faith, it simply intrigues me. With King Benjamin, I acknowledge that man cannot comprehend all things God comprehends. […]
