  1. TOM - The usage of the word create or Ancient Hebrew 'Bara' is to form or fashion, wouldn't the GOD use the term 'gave birth' & 'was born?' Ge 2:22 - And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. Ge 5:1 - This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Ge 6:6 - And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. Ge 6:7 - And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Ge 9:6 - Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. Jer 27:5 - I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. Now, do you remember that it was GOD, Savior, and another person [possibility more were there], they created man. Did the man at first have the spirit? Ws it a adult body? Or was it simply an empty physical shell?
  2. Last time it was spoken across the pulit was Elder H.D. Taylor, Apostle [Assitance to the Council of the Twelve], October 1970
  3. Salvation? I am grateful for the prophet Joseph Smith in receiving that information. It brings a 'deeper' meaning for us parents and the day I can embrace both of them when resurrected. Now, the salvation part is not entirely correct. GOD will inpart this revelation for those of the CFB as HE did for JS. At this point, let us drop this issue.
  4. I would change the word ANYONE to read EVERYONE
  5. Several General Confrences - HEAVENLY PARENTS, HEVEANLY MOTHER
  6. Tom, be patient. I will. Skalen, at times, simple principles are hidden for a reason. Perhaps, the Savior was noted for that in many of His Parables.
  7. Do you have the LDS Scriptures?
  8. You need to start at the core or basics: "What is Intelligence? What is matter?"
  9. The problem seen, they walked without the 'Light of Christ.' Blindly grooping in the dark when the Sun is shining. Who controls Elements of Nature?
  10. In 1937, John A. Widtsoe presented the following test as a measure of spirituality. Spirituality in man or woman may be recognized by simple tests, of which the three following are of major importance: The spiritual person renders intelligent obedience to the requirements of the Gospel. There is no quibbling about this principle or resistance to that practice. Whatever has been revealed to and accepted by the Church becomes binding upon the person. The spiritually-minded person chooses to render obedience because he understands the principle or practice involved. True obedience is never blind. Such obedience is a direct approach to the Lord’s favor. Spirituality rests upon surrender to the divine purpose. Therefore, another test, closely akin to the first, is the willingness to sacrifice for the cause of the Lord. Does a man when called upon to do so give of his time, strength, talents and means, for the advancement of the Gospel cause? Readiness to render such service, unpaid and unrewarded in material ways, is a fine test of spirituality. There is yet another test, the greatest one. Spirituality begets love. The spiritual man loves the latter-day cause of the Lord; he loves the Gospel; he loves the Church, which is the conservator of the Gospel; he loves those who are called into any office to serve the cause; he loves his fellow men. His love is expressed in the good words he speaks of the cause and men, in his steady support of them, in service for them. True love does not dwell on externals, on faults; it looks into the heart of the loved one, and sees goodness and virtue there. He who loves, is not and can not be a faultfinder. Spirituality leads to love and loving words. (John A. Widtsoe, Program of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints [salt Lake City: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1937], 64 - 65.)
  11. What is Intelligence when it is nothing more than 'I AM'?
  12. Doctor T is correct. The elements have always exisited. It is matter how we observed it from our location.
  13. ADAM's RIB MYSTERY: Yesterday, in my communication here on this forum about the Atonement, as I reflect back when trying to convey some important sharing moments [thanks to two valuable members], I can almost feel the answer as if the veil was thinning. Even felt the Holy Ghost, presenting something as a confirmation while writing a response. Driving home, I just kept thinking about, “Why would Adam be CREATED vice progeny birth? What was the purpose? Why not create both male and female together as it was done spiritually? What is FATHER trying to tell us?” It is amazing…it is truly amazing, how auspicious children we are, standing in the fullest of time.
  14. To becoming GODS? I am searching for the one who bears the immortal name 'JESUS CHRIST' [what ever it referred to in the pure language]
  15. Tree, there is Mother. I can testified to that question.
  16. Ether 3:16 Read the verse "thoroughly"
  17. Dear, what is your status of being a member?
  18. Great to hear that.
  19. Turned over to the 'buffets of Satan'.
  20. Correct. Still, they have 'free agency to choose.'
  21. The earth will be gloried.
  22. Yes. It is the principle of resurrection. All will be resurrected.
  23. The day will come, when the righteous of the land may have to defend our constitution against our own government. :<
  24. That is point...to keep the moment going.
