musashi Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Are the three nephites and John the apostle still alive? I've heard some stories that they are. I wasn't sure if they were official doctrine, or just authorities saying their opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musashi Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Cool. Anyone have any ideas where they are or what they are doing? I was also wondering if they're friends with eachother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Might as well have asked, "Do they have cats?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonKairos Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Well if you believe the Utah Mormons (don't throw stones, please ), the three Nephites are helping everyone fix their flat tires and then disappearing mysteriously.

Dr T Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I've heard that story I think some guy named ApostleKnight told me about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonKairos Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Strange. I know the guy. He don't live in Utah, yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musashi Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 He he... I think it's true. They're sneaky little characters aren't they. The ones I've heard usually involve them doing some otherwise impossible task then only letting the witnesses catch a glimpse of their three personages, or else catching a ride with ordinary members of the church in their car and then all of a sudden just disappearing, like a ghost. If I had the power to teleport, then I probably wouldn't ride in cars much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saab900man Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I had kinda the same question a while backOn study I came realization that they are as the angels. 29 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord seeth fit in his wisdom that they shall minister unto all the ascattered tribes of Israel, and unto all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, and shall bring out of them unto Jesus many souls, that their desire may be fulfilled, and also because of the convincing power of God which is in them. 30 And they are as the aangels of God, and if they shall pray unto the Father in the name of Jesus they can show themselves unto whatsoever man it seemeth them good. 3 Nephi 28:29-30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musashi Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Does that mean they can teleport? Or just that they can turn off their invisibility to some people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palerider Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Does that mean they can teleport? Or just that they can turn off their invisibility to some people?I think they text message each other............ B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saab900man Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Does that mean they can teleport? Or just that they can turn off their invisibility to some people?I take that to mean they work just like Angels do. Moroni is not here all the time so I think that they are "translated" (I don't know if that is the right term or not) and are here if needed and there is needed.But Moroni did appear in a room and he did not use a door. so maybe teleport is a good word for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember hearing a story about some missionoaries who were trying to ride the bus. They were short or they didn't have any mon. I can't remember. Another guy got on the bus behind them, he took some money out of his pocket and said "here, this is for these two" The missionaries said the saw this man pull out a white hankercheif, he then suddenly disappeared. They said that the knew that this was oe of the three Nehpites. I don't know how ture this was. But I do believe this kind of thing happens and they show themselves to whomever they want. I am sure that they are doing missionary work all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonKairos Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Never heard that version before, but at least the white handkerchief took the place of the white beard or the white robes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaidservantX Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Y'all need to watch the movie "Baptists at our BBQ". (Movie is better than the book!) That movie would 'solve' so many of the stumpers we have here at lds talk, lol. I'm not going to give it away, just be assured that there is a reason I brought it up at this point, ha ha. Hey. I think of all the transportation laws that God and minions could access, I daresay teleportation would be 101. How about traveling through inner space or traveling through folded dimensions (don't ask me for definitions on either of those )? How about allowing all of the electron orbits of your corporeal vessel (body) to suspend for the amount of time it takes to walk through a wall (because without that orbital acceleration there is no such thing as a solid)? In the case of Moroni visiting in Joseph Smith's bedroom, I would not be averse to accepting a multimedia explanation. Ha ha. You can tell I have some free time on my hands.

musashi Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 that makes sense i guess. because think about it, how else would santa be able to visit every christian child in the world in one night. he would need to have mastered teleportation.
