No place in scripture is better to begin a study of the foundational doctrines of the Gospel of Jesus Christ then The Articles of Faith. In this episode we will start our study with the 1st Article of Faith. "1 We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost." We explore doctrines of : the nature of the GodHead, God's attributes, and our relationship to Him. Because without the core belief that our Father in Heaven is a loving and perfect parent, the rest of the gospel falls apart.    "And on Friday last while speaking at the Funeral of Matilda Moody he said we should improve the present time and do all we could for our dead ere death called us away. He [referred] to a saying of Joseph Smith, which he heard him utter (like this) That if the People knew what was behind the vail, they would try by every means to commit suicide that they might get there, but the Lord in his wisdom had implanted the fear of death in every person that they might cling to life and thus accomplish the designs of their creator" (A.
