Unembodied – Never had a body

129:7 It is contrary to the order of heaven for a just man to deceive.
The nearer a man approaches the Lord, a greater power will be manifested by the adversary to prevent the accomplishment of His purposes. – Joseph Smith
There are no babies or little children in the pre-mortality. In the millennium, parents will be able to raise children from the age that they lost them.
President Eyring at MTC said, “There is so much of the unseen world.”
Where does confusion come from? It comes from the author of confusion and is produced by those who rebel against God and against His authority. There were many who did this formerly, and they formed part of that hell…although those men and women are dead, they have a good deal of power; Their spirits have power over us when we render ourselves subject to them; Their spirits are busy at work. They are diligent and performing the work of destruction and confusion; They go at that work the very moment their spirits leave their bodies.
The spirits of the wicked, who have died thousands of years past, are at war with the Saints of God up on the earth…the Lord has said that there are more for us than there can be against us…It is written where the Holy Ghost takes up its abode the Father and the Son will abide. That is the God whom I serve, one who has millions of angels at His command. Do you suppose that there are any here today? I would not wonder if there were ten times more angels here than people. We do not see them, but they are here watching us and are anxious for our salvation.” -Heber C. Kimball
There are many things we won’t receive because we haven’t prayed for them.
Wendy Nelson- Elder Holland- Pray for angels. She said it changed her life.
They do mingle so they can teach those who haven’t heard the gospel. They are together. They are not in separate little locations.
If we ponder just what it is that will rise with us in the resurrection, it seems clear that our intelligence will rise with us, meaning not simply our IQ but also our capacity to receive and apply truth. Our talents, attributes and skills will rise with us; Certainly, also our capacity to learn, our degree of self-discipline, and our capacity to work. -Neal A. Maxwell
Guy asked chatgpt what you’d do if you were Satan-quote.
Sister Beck –“They need to know, if it’s anti famly it’s anti Christ.”
You can’t be casual with the gospel.
Elder George Q. Cannon taught, We believe that when a man and a woman are united as husband and wife, and they love each other, their hearts and feelings are one, that that love is as enduring as eternity itself, and that when death overtakes them it will endure through eternity; and that if we have offspring they will be with us and our mutual associates will be one of the chief joys of the heaven to which we are hastening… God has restored the everlasting priesthood, by which ties can be formed, consecrated and consummated, which shall be as enduing as we ourselves are enduring…”
2 Peter 1: The more knowledge you have, the more power you have.
Experience self, watching other, listening to others. –Learn to live higher laws
Doctrine and Covenants 132: 8 God’s house is a house of order and not a house of confusion.
Sharon’s brother. Can you take out, “Til death do us part?” The minister said yes but I don’t have authority.
God is not the author of confusion.
This is my gospel:
“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; the soul; but trailing clouds of glory do we come. From God who is our home.”
