Okay another discussion on from the book of Moses.

You might have to scroll down a bit.

The Pearl of Great Price Student Manual The Book of Moses

Also from the student manual, I find this to be very interesting, and am glad to have a manual to help me explain this to my children during our scripture study. How wonderful the gospel that is available to us. I believe we have this piece of it so that we can know how complete the plan of salvation is, and that there are other worlds that God has created. These other worlds also belong to Him.

I don't know if there are any other churches that support the doctrine of life on other planets. It is very comforting to me that this has been made known to us. I remember watching a video of testimonies that spoke about it as well, I believe it was called, "Special Witnesses of Christ" or something like that. I remember it was the twelve sharing their testimonies, I saw it when I was investigating.

I thought I should highlight exactly what I'm talking about.

Moses 1:35–38. “There Are Many Worlds”

President Brigham Young said: “How many earths are there? I observed this morning that you may take the particles of matter composing this earth, and if they could be enumerated they would only be a beginning to the number of the creations of God; and they are continually coming into existence, and undergoing changes and passing through the same experience that we are passing through” (in Journal of Discourses, 14:71).

Moses 1:35–39. Jesus Christ Redeemed All of God’s Creations

Elder Marion G. Romney, then a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, taught:

“Jesus Christ, in the sense of being its Creator and Redeemer, is the Lord of the whole universe. Except for his mortal ministry accomplished on this earth, his service and relationship to other worlds and their inhabitants are the same as his service and relationship to this earth and its inhabitants. …

“… In short, Jesus Christ, through whom God created the universe, was chosen to put into operation throughout the universe Elohim’s great plan ‘to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man’—the gospel of Jesus Christ—the only way whereby man can obtain eternal life” (“Jesus Christ: Lord of the Universe,” Improvement Era, Nov. 1968, 46, 48; see also D&C 76:19–24).

Jesus Christ created not just this world, but the universe. All the worlds in it have the same relationship with Him that we do, except we have had his mortal ministry. That is so amazing to me.
