I don't guess Mormons use sage sticks?

[Martain]

Sorry I can't help it =) (or rather I could but I don't want to)

Urban...

If it smells pleasant to me, why should I think that it won't smell good to them eh?

[UrbanFool]

Because they're evil? :)

[Martain]

So you think that we should use sage smoke instead of tear gas against terrorists? =)

Talk I say! Talk! Tell us where you placed the bomb... if you don't... we're going to light sage sticks all around the room... MUAHAHAHA.

o.0

If we admit that it's useless against that evil when it comes in the guise of a fellow son or daughter of God, why should it be any different for an evil spirit?

If it did, why should it matter if we used a sage stick. Couldn't we just as easily... bake a batch of cookies? They smell pleasant to me too and there edible as well!

If it smells pleasant to me, why should I think that it won't smell good to them eh?

Maybe because they don't have olfactory nerves that bind chemicals in the air from which the brain interprets those signals as smells.

[Martain]

Good point =)

Yet... a thought...

Are we not taught that everything was created spiritually before physically?

Is not everything comprised of physical matter also comprised of more fine spiritual matter?

While they don't have olfactory nerves comprised of physical matter necessary to smell physical matter, are you so well versed in the laws of spirit matter to say that they do not have the olfactory nerves comprised of spirit matter necessary to smell spirit matter?

Are you also so sufficiently versed in the laws of spirit matter as to say that sage smelled differently as a purely spiritual creation than it does now as a combination of both?

Martian I know this post was in 2011. I had some similar questions and in searching found your post. I want to know how you are doing now? And what have you learned since. I have a son who is going thru the same experiences you have. This subject doesn’t seem to be talked about commonly. People have opinions but not experience. Hopefully you will see this post and can reply to me. I would love to have a conversation with you outside of this forum. If that is possible. Thanks!
