I guess I've been inactive too long. Back when I was converted to the truth, 1976 Nashville Third Ward, there was God the Creator of Heaven and earth. There was the Lord God Jesus Christ the builder of the physical earth. There was the Holy Spirit the overseer of creation, both spiritual and physical, and in that capacity, is the messenger between the spiritual and physical. It has always kind of flown in the face of "Alpha and Omega", but I still believe in what I was taught back then. As God was, we are, as He is we may become. In other words, as I am with my physical body, God was. Basic principle of progression. But, if the pre-requisite of being God is to be Alpha and Omega, how could I possibly become as He is? Are there three separate beings? Dunno, but Jesus said, "Pray ye after this manner, Our Father", and on other scripture Jesus stated as to how He was sent of His Father. I would think if He were one and the same, He could just as easily said, "Pray to me, or I decided to send myself, or My will be done instead of Thy will be done". So for me and mine, God got a body, Jesus got a body, all (actually two thirds) Gods' children gettin a body. Holy Spirit don't got a body. If it were so, Holy Body would fit better.

Thanx for the welcome Doc. Didn't mean to lose ya. I claim LDS as my religion because it is the one that set my feet in the direction of truth. I have no doubt that I have a Heavenly Mother.Again I appolize for my disrespectful post. I have edited it out and beg forgiveness.

That is not a logical conclusion if you believe that God created man out of the dust of the Earth and breathed life into him vs. procreating with another being. My view is not an LDS one, as is obvious. Hi ya Doc. Pleased to meet'cha. Sure its logical, because He did form man out of the dust of the earth. I've edited out the stuff that is contaray to the rules of this thread. I appologize for my disrespectful post.

Hi ya'll, I'm new here, and I have read this whole thread. Very interesting views going on in here until about page 8. If I may, can I interject here? Put simply, it is difficult, naa almost impossible to view immortal things with mortal eyes. We have a Heavenly Father and a Heavenly Mother. Period. Now, when I was a kid, when a salesman, or a neighbor woman came to the door, we called mom. When the sheriff, or a revener came to the door, we got dad. The moral? If you are going to shoot the breeze or gossip, mother will do just fine. If there is business with the powers that be? right, dad is the one to call. If you have Heavenly business, Jesus said to pray thusly "Our Father". For me the doctrine of Christ trumps any other doctrine. Talk with Heavenly Mother, I'm sure she would love hearing from you. The more family She hears from, the happier She is. An old saying that I think would hold true. "If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy". Think about it. Next point. In my years of serving Jesus the Eternal Christ in my ward, I haven't seen any Church Doctrine as to the persona of Heavenly Mother. But logic, of and by itself, leaves no doubt as to the existance of our Heavenly Mother.
