Creation??

[SaturdayLove]

Hey, this is probably a really stupid question and I'm sorry if it is....

But I've actually been thinking about this for a long time now.. possibly since 2005.... also I prefer to get mostly answers from Mormons.. since I consider them to be more or less more correct ....

God created everyone right?

If God created everyone and If you ask him to UNCREAT you do you think he will grant it for you?...... everything created can be destroyed...so?

Great question. However, as LDS Christians we view things differently. We believe that God did not create anything "ex nihilo" (from nothing). All matter has existed eternally, even as God has.

So, God could not "uncreate" us in the manner of utter annihilation. However, our bodies can deteriorate and turn into worm food. Matter cannot be created or uncreated. It can just be formed into new/other forms of matter.

What God promises us is that he will give each of us the level of heaven/glory that we truly desire and find greatest joy in. Not everyone will want to live directly in God's presence, as they would be miserable dwelling in his full glory. But they would be happy in a limited amount of his glory in a lesser kingdom of heaven. I suggest a close reading of D&C 76, 88 and 93, Alma 12, Mormon 9.

Only those who choose to be absolute enemies of God will be cast into Outer Darkness - a kingdom with no glory. It would be dreary and miserable for most of us, but it is what they would want for themselves.

I don't think He'd do that, but one would have to ask God himself, right? :) I imagine he could, I just don't think he would.

We are his glorious children. We rebel, we struggle, we screw up, but we carry that spark of divinity in us. I think he loves us too much, and sees our divine potential too well, to agree to uncreate any one of us.

Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God (D&C 18:10). I hope you don't wish to be un-created - I would hope that if anyone asked that of God, that he would instead heal them and show them their real value, their worth as a son or daughter of God.

I do think that he has answered prayers for people to be taken from their bodies. I don't think that simply asking him because you're sick of life is a good enough reason though. The only times that I think that he would is reserved for people who are extremely ill and won't make a recovery. And even then, I would think that you would have to have extreme amounts of faith and belief in his church.
