🤔 Angels also can be men who are still in mortality, as the word "angel" simply means "sent one." The term generally denotes a man who is acting in behalf of GOD in a supernatural capacity and with priesthood authority. It can be applied to men who who have lived and who have died, or men who are in mortality and for some reason are sent to someone else, or who have yet to be born into mortality. Women also have been known to act in an angelic capacity. A book could be written on these as it's a fascinating topic. 😇
I think of time as being encompassed by Eternity, but Eternity isn't encompassed by time. Time is a tool that is used to help us accomplish things.
Its not irreverent if it happens to you…believe me. Evil spirits harass me daily. When they appeared to me I thought they were messengers from God…telling me that JS was "calling me home early". For 6 weeks I thought I was going to die any day until I realized that God does not work that way. Yes, they fooled me and probably had a good laugh but they still continue to harass me. I am a much wiser person now and will use the council in section 129 for sure. Thanks for the discussion…definitely not talked enough about
1:01:36 I am totally on board with no man knowing the day of the Savior’s return. And I agree that we should be very careful here. But no lesser mind than Issac Newton used the Book of Daniel and calculated 2060. Do I base my life or testimony on this? Not at all. It is just an interesting factoid I keep in the back of my mind …..
Time is not linear but to quote Dr Who "It's a big ball of timey whimey stuff."
The way I understand the point about the Holy Ghost dwelling in us is that the personage of the Holy Ghost occupies a set amount of space just like each of our spirits do. But his personage does not dwell within the same space as another spirit, our own. Rather, it is the power and influence of the Holy Ghost that can dwell within us. Evil spirits seek to coinhabit our bodies and take possession of our faculties. The Holy Ghost refuses to do this.
We measure time in terms on entropy. I suspect that time isn't relevant in heaven because entropy has no sway there. It's not that events don't happen or that they all happen at the same moment. There's simply no decay. What is bound in heaven is bound forever.
One thing I'm curious about is our body in the resurrection and how close of a resemblance it will have to our current body. When Christ was resurrected, most of those closest to him didn't recognize him. This makes sense, because we don't believe in predestination and genetics play an obviously strong influence on our body's shape and form, but if we were not predestined to be with those parents, that would indicate that perhaps this is not our eternal form. There are obvious eternal aspects such as gender, and the basic humanoid form. They didn't see resurrected Jesus as a humanoid alien or anything.
In the Lord’s prayer, it says so in heaven and so on earth!❤, and people forget that in all the churches. Listen deeply into what this message is at the end of the Lord prayer as individuals do not.
When I went out and worked with thousands of teams in uplifting the ones on welfare in which they rose off welfare in 1 to 3 months. What I taught all the thousands of volunteers was how to relate to each other in themselves without judgment and with each other with no judgment before they went in and worked with what we called the POOR. “LOVE. Your. NEIGHBOR. as Your SELF.”❤
Serving the poor that were broken apart, reshaped all our hearts and everyone had miracles. This is all Jesus spoke about in every moment he was present with every person that we saw. He was being present in love and that space aloud for the altering.
See all my messages we have missed as church members of all churches “so in heaven so on earth “ the way, this happens is when we have our hearts reshaped and go out and consecrated ourselves to working with the ones who have been broken apart in our communities and states and nations❤ see all my messages, please
