Let's read it together. I shall give my concept then see what I can find from the LDS church. It defines when. In the beginning. I see it as describing GOD prior to creation. Now what does LDS doctrine say. I found this in our Doctrine, but keep in mind this comes to us from the New Testament. thus I accept LDS accept the New Testament. So without me twisting the words, my comments are I accept the explanation of John.
A lot of people say that is defining Christ as part of the trinity. They say that when you match this with the Genesis account where it says "let us make man in our image" that it is the trinity.
Yup..... he sure does remind me of a near death experiencer by what he taught to his disciples...... http://www.near-death.com/experiences/triggers.html Near-Death Experience Triggers
That is what I thought myself until I began researching NDE accounts....... these days I am even doubtful that our pets just simply cease to exist at their death. http://www.near-death.com/experiences/with-pets.html
Probably after we are dead nothing happens. Just some kind of "Eternal Nothing" But this is just a theory
No one can know what will happen after we die. A few have died and returned (My mother included) with interestingly similar stories of what happened between life and death. We can speculate on what this means but it will always be speculation until we actually find out for ourselves, and when we do we can't tell anyone. There is obviously no life after death....that's why it's called death. But there might be SOMETHING.
With the aliens killing me all the time I found out that death is like a darkness coming over you. But then, a while after everything becomes still and quiet, sometimes stuff happens afterwards. You're out of your body, your in a dark place, you're floating around, your in someone else's head (another you), ect...
Did you ever get the Flonian Transpanceny they warned about? That was totally weird and even when I got back I could still taste the smell.
'89...abducted and no memories (until hypnosis). '91...visited and informed of future plans. 2001...abducted and implanted. '04,,,activated. '08...directed to DP and plan initiated. ....now active....
They called those "Subjects" and numbered them in our room. We were informed they would be available when required.
Only for the DNA tests, they stuck one up my nose when they implanted three embryos in my arm. They let me go for about a week or two, then they came back for me and extracted the embryos. Years later, when I worked for the secret government, they had their aliens remove it.
Tecoyah.... you are so astonishingly good with words that i really cannot tell when you are joking or not....... 95% probability that you are joking with this conversation but....... who knows........ I do know that what you wrote on the Pro-life vs pro- choice question could become quite popular.......... http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/brilliant-pro-life-arguments.500510/#post-1067255614 Brilliant pro-life arguments!
This conversation was meant to be a mixture of vague ridicule through creative play and an experiment in exposing insanity. It was also fun....so there is that.
I also accept the explanation by John..... but I now have some new questions about what he wrote.......... My question is to what degree does what John wrote about what he had been told by Rabbi Jesus / Yeshua correspond with what modern near death experiencer Mellen Benedict write about his own almost... Vulcan Mind Meld experience...... perhaps with his own "Over Soul"... whatever that is....... that may have existed for million or billions of years before you and I were born as humans??????? http://www.near-death.com/reincarnation/experiences/mellen-thomas-benedict.html#a05
