There has been something on my mind for the last while and I thought I would just throw it out there and see what happens. I guess more for a warning this is NOT about Blacks and some curse! If this turns into that then it well be shut down. I was trying to figure out what determines how we look. These are some of the thoughts I had… I guess the real question that would first have to be asked is: Are looking a blessing or a curse? (or neather) I would think God would know how much of an advantage (to some degree) Looks would play down here. As we learn in the scriptures money can be evil depending on how the person uses it. I think the same can be true of looks. We also know that some blessings in this life were predicated on what we did in the the Pre-mortal life. We know from Alma 13 those that have the priesthood were called before this world was. We learn in the Bible, that God foreordained which tribe we would come to in this world. We also learn from Paul that God even knew the time we were appoint to come down here. I read somewhere and I think it was James E. Talmage that said something to the effect that our Spirits helped form what our bodies would look like. I have to assume my physical body looks something like my spirit? This is how I’m going to be resurrected right? So it just doesn’t make sense that God would not have some control over how we would look. But that starts to get my mind going. I know I have heard that Jesus Christ, and Adam and Joseph Smith were all suppose to be nice handsome me. WE know that Mary (the mother of Jesus) was a pretty woman. But what about the rest of us? I can’t feel that it is just up to chance! I wouldn’t really say there are more or less good looking people in or out of the church. I just think those that are good looking tend to be shown off more. Then what about the other Prophets that have come along? But how far can this really go. Do I blame God because I have crooked teeth? I do realize some things just happen at Birth. Do I blame God on how my ears look or just on chance, or something I did in the pre-mortal life? The only kind of answer I thought of was that God set up some laws (along the lines of Genetics) and allowed those laws to be in motion. This allowed for varying degrees of people, the same way we all have varying degrees of how we use our agency. God put the Laws in motion and let things happen. I also think that to some degree we have some group of people we are attracted to. That some type of traits we would find more appealing then others. (I don't know if this is something that came with us from Pre-mortal life, or something that happens down here)???? But this allowed each of us to find somebody. I just wondering if Pre-Mortal life had something to do with how I look!
