lumberjacksdaughter Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Posted April 4, 2011 I imagined that is what it was but I wasn't positive. I knew about them. I just didn't remember their name. Quote

JudoMinja Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 Typically, this refers to those who followed Satan in the preexistence, but it is possible for someone in this life to become a "Son of Perdition" as well. It is just very rare, as the instance Blackmarch pointed out is the only way to become one. Quote
RipplecutBuddha Posted April 4, 2011 Report Posted April 4, 2011 Joseph Smith stated that in order to become a Son of Perdition, one would have to deny the existence of God as though one could deny the existence of the sun while it was shining upon one's face. As very few people achieve such a great witness of God in this life, few people are capable of becoming a Son of Perdition. Fewer still actually do so...far fewer. Quote
