i'mnotspecial

I've never heard of it happening either. Granted, I've only read like 5 patriarchal blessings in my life. None of them mentioned someone else living by name (except the name of the person receiving the blessing). Sounds like a great gift of specificity the Lord has given you. I'm curious if you came to the blessing hoping to be told something specific. I'm also curious if this patriarch is new to his calling. My blessing is quite vague in a lot of areas. I mean, I love it and am so glad I have it, but there's pretty much nothing in there that tips me off to any specific life choices other than basic things we all know that are part of God's Eternal plan for all His children (getting married, having children, serving others, etc.). The general principles in my blessing have been spot on. As I look back, I can see better what the Lord meant in some of the things He told me.

If it gets cleaned, please post after pictures. My brain is now filthy and needs relief. The house will probably need professional mold remediation, possibly including removing the walls....they should probably treat it as though it were a disaster cleanup....because it is. I hope these people get help and get back on their feet. On my mission to Texas I saw houses this bad. I remember one house being so filthy and having so many roaches that they were crawling up my legs. It was like I was on a hallucinogen, as the walls were moving (bugs crawling).

If God is fine with other medical achievements we've made, including those pioneered by the Prophet, President Nelson, then I don't see why it would be a problem to extend life, which is basically just another way of saying healing the negative effects of aging. The only problem I see is if it is done through evil means, like by aborting babies to further the research, for example. I don't know if they're doing that or not in this research; but, if they are, I see a huge problem with it. If done through evil means, it has a parallel with the Tower of Babel and won't end well, in my opinion.

Like with a large and growing list of conflicts, this one goes back to the definitions of the words. Let’s define doctrine. From the 1828 dictionary: In a general sense, whatever is taught. Hence, a principle or position in any science; whatever is laid down as true by an instructor or master. The doctrines of the gospel are the principles or truths taught by Christ and his apostles. In that sense, both policy and unchanging truth are doctrines of the church. An official doctrine just means an official teaching. Whatever the church teaches officially at the time it is taught is the doctrine of the church. It doesn’t have to be permanent to be true doctrine, and it doesn’t have to be forever out of the question to currently be false doctrine. If someone thinks that doctrine is unchangeable, they don’t understand what doctrine is. Because doctrine is simply the official teaching, doctrine is always changing as the people progress. What doesn’t change is God and His Eternal nature, His character, His nature, His principles, and His work and glory. He is the unchanging one.
