Question of the day: How does having a sign affect one's faith?
Signs follow faith, they confirm and reassure one in their faith. Seeking a sign when faith is not already present is the wicked route to knowledge, and doesn't even work. In Matthew 12:39 the Lord teaches that a wicked and adulterous generation seeks a sign.
D&C 98: The Lord teaches about forgiveness and when it is okay to defend oneself and ones family and when it is not. There are references to children's children, both being blessed and being cursed. I couldn't help but wonder towards the end of the section if the people of Ammon were an example of a generation that was no longer under a curse where their parents may have been, which kept them from the gospel.
