IET123 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Hell-o everyone. This is a first for me, i hope i am getting this right. I just bought a book from deseret books called " The Kolob Theorem" by Lynn M. Hilton who is a member of the church and has taught at BYU. i haven't read the whole book yet but very interesting. He writes " The Kolob Theorem allows us to see more clearly the home we lived in before we were born and the home we will live in after we die. These places appear more real; they are made of matter, some of very fine pure matter, and exist in time and space. It helps us anticiplate the reality of the glories of our futrue home."

circusboy01 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 There is really no correlation between the size of the planet and a day (single revolution). Jupiter has 1300 times the volume of the Earth and its day is only 9 hours and 55 minutes.Anti-Mormons are so hopeless.Then does it have to do with how fast a planet rotates ?

circusboy01 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 There never was one in this particular forum. Keeps people from using the laugh button as a way to mock our beliefs which is what this particular forum is strictly for.I see. that makes good sense.

Hilton is saying that there actually is a place ( perhaps a planet) called Kolob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you paid even a single penny for it, that is a penny more than it is worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case then it is garbage.I would have thought that Deseret Bookstore would do a better job of screening the books they sale..Are Deseret Bookstores owned by the church, or arew thay just allowed or contreacted to sale LDS materials?

mikbone Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Then does it have to do with how fast a planet rotates ?I doubt it.The next couple links lead me to believe that God actually lives on a Star instead of a planet.http://www.boap.org/LDS/Parallel/1843/18Feb43.htmlBBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Diamond star thrills astronomers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case then it is garbage.On the contrary, I assume the author was sincere. But sincerity does not magically make falsehoods into truths, or turn absurdity into good, solid sense.

LetrellC Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 At BYU wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy back when, my D&C class, was when I first heard Kolob mentioned. We were taught that it is the planet nearest to our Heavenly Father and quite possibly is where He resides. I wish I had a better memory where quoting people and scriptures is concerned...there was a talk sometime between present day and about 35 years ago..a conference talk or BYU devotional where Kolob was discussed. I will now go search for it. It was therein stated that Kolob is where our Father dwells. I'll find it. Just may take some digging. I have heard Elohim used my entire life.
