Open Ended

What do you know about Jesus Christ that makes this question better understood?

President M. Russell Ballard (2013)

"In our Heavenly Father's great priesthood-endowed plan, men have the unique responsibility to administer the priesthood, but they are not the priesthood. Men and women have different but equally valued roles. Just as a woman cannot conceive a child without a man, so a man cannot fully exercise the power of the priesthood to establish an eternal family without a woman.....In the eternal perspective, both the procreative power and the priesthood power are shared by husband and wife."

  We humbly recognize that God may not tell his people the date when Christ will return, any more than he tells anyone the date they will die physically." (Huff Post and Global Post News - Jan, March, 2012)

• The evangelist claimed to have cracked a code in the Bible that allowed him to calculate the date of the Rapture. He predicted the world would end in 1994, May 2011, and then in October 2011, the Christian Post reports.
