the whole "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day" just means that time doesn't really exist with God. Or atleast it doesn't coincide with time on earth. Besides, Jesus doesn't even know the exact date of the second coming, so I don't think God would put an equation in the Bible that people could figure out.

I always wondered this. So after the Second Coming and I guess you could say "the end of the world", what happens to people that have died, accepted the gospel in the afterlife, but haven't had anyone have a baptism by proxy on earth? Is it just tough luck? Or is God understanding? Just a little confused and curious.

Either would be nice.

I had the same doubts after I was baptized and in young women's we learned the blessing of the worthy priesthood holders was becoming gods. After I was almost shocked. But as a prayed on it I have my own personal clarity. Do I have believe if we are worthy we will create our own universe and become Gods and Goddesses? Not necessarily. I don't think that is what is meant when it is said we are able to become gods. Exaltation to me, means becoming just like our Heavenly Father, possessing the power, love and the glory. We become joint-heirs to his vast kingdom. We will not know of our futures until death and we are capable of knowing all things. I don't think "becoming a god" should a main goal, but should be considered when following the commandments because being like Christ is essential.

I've been through the exact same thing. Me and my boyfriend were only 16 when we broke the law of chastity. It only happened once and we kept it a secret. Though, my mom, who knows everything found out first. I was not a member at the time and neither is my family, so my mom was a little more understanding and only "grounded" me for two weeks. Eventually my boyfriend's parents became suspicious and the guilt finally made him confess. His parents at the beginning told him we could not be together ever again or at least see each other any time soon, and I was heartbroken. But we stayed in contact and I went to church every Sunday to see him. Eventually the Bishop told his parents that they were a little harsh and that needed to lighten the punishment (my boyfriend is there first child so it was their first experience with anything like this). We slowly gained his parents trust back and after a few months our relationship had returned back to normal. And while my boyfriend was unable to pass the sacrament, after 8 months he was able to take and pass the sacrament. During that time I was not a member, and did fully understand the seriousness of the law of chastity. About a month ago I was baptized. I have repented and I have been cleansed of those sins. Now that I constantly have the Holy Ghost, I found myself being smarter with my decisions when it comes to be physical and the situations I put me and my boyfriend in. When I do have those "desires" something stops me from acting upon them. My advice is listen to the Holy Ghost. That constant whisper is something that can save you from grave sins.

What is the church's view on the Book of Revelation and it's prediction of the end of time? Like what are the views on the tribulation and anti-christ?

So does that mean there are tons of universes with other gods with people just like us? Would we still worship and love our Heavenly Father?

I'm a recent convert and just have one concern that i heard in sunday school. Today in young women's learning about the Priesthood. And the teacher read out of the book and said one of the blessings for the men was that if they did their duties of the Priesthood, that God would bless them and they would become gods in the afterlife. Alot of us girls were confused and we get our own worlds. Then a elder that was in the room added it's like we are kings and queens. Is this true? Is there doctrine to back this up? I just want some more details. Thanks:)
