Bereaved Israel comes to Christ and finds, through the sealing ordinances, that their lost children were not lost after all. Your interpretation sounds good, Mr. Curtis.

Curtis Thu, 07 Jul 2005 03:56:16 +0000 /?p=2392#comment-81713 Mr. Greenwood... I tend to think the scripture you quoted has more to do with the gathering of scattered Israel to the Gospel of Christ where they are healed by being sealed.Thus gathered they become a part of Christs family whom He save's, with an everlasting salvation, including Eternal Life. What you propose seems to fit better with the Idea of not being the weak link that may be dropped form the chain. Our brethern have spoken about this on many occasions. Of course if there are some weak links the chain would be welded together minus those links. Perhaps then you would see some "new plates at the dinner table." Your genetically linked comment is already a reality. We are all descended from Adam, who is descended from God. The exception to this rule of course would be those evolutionist's who are linked to dinosaurs, who are ultimately linked to comet ejecta. Ironically even though comets are supposed to be the seed bearers of life in the universe, that consideration didn't stop NASA from blowing up a bunch of seeds on July 4th. I can't imagine who those seeds could have been linked to. Hopefully someone with a bigger impactor ie (burning mountain) doesn't decide to trump our impactor with their own. (life in the ocean dies). Sorry for getting off on a tangent. I enjoyed your thoughts...Harold Mr. Greenwood…

As a balding, single twenty-eight-year-old, I often speak out bitterly for no good reason. Just ask my Sunday School class. Sorry, Annegb.

Greenwood Thu, 07 Jul 2005 01:57:50 +0000 /?p=2392#comment-81709 Yes, we're all children of God or destined to become such. But we are also children of our parents and sealed to them. Some children aren't so lucky. Can they be left hanging without being sealed to anybody? I imagine not. Now, perhaps you are correct that these children are only sealed to God as their Father. Or perhaps they are sealed within their own lineage only, the lines collapsing back through the generations until a righteous pairing is found. But it is also possible that the children will be sealed to parents of their own milieu. Yes, we’re all children of God or destined to become such.

I think this is a different kind of preparation then what we assume to have taken place in premortal life. i.e., "spiritual offspring" etc. At this point, it seems that the goal of proxy work is to eventually bind the human family together as one–which binding is between husbands and wives, and parents and children.

Having a bit of trouble here with the post-earthlife-adoption idea. Are we not all spirit siblings and joint-heirs with Christ? Are we not all children of God? Isn't THAT what sealing is all about? And aren't we taught that those COUPLES who are sealed and remain worthy of exaltation have their own SPIRITUAL offspring, worlds without number? Why then the need to claim/adopt the spirit children of our Heavenly Parents and of other earthly parents? Huh??? Having a bit of trouble here with the post-earthlife-adoption idea.

Just because you shower does not mean you are more righteous than everybody, in fact sometimes in Sunday School I will say, "I think a lot of people who are sweaty and fusty are more like Jesus than you think they are," and then just put my feet up and watch the fireworks. “clean-limbed youths” …… Just because you shower does not mean you are more righteous than everybody, in fact sometimes in Sunday School I will say, “I think a lot of people who are sweaty and fusty are more like Jesus than you think they are,” and then just put my feet up and watch the fireworks.

Adam precisely said -- not everyone will be saved. That is, not everyone. Not. Everyone. And somehow we went from there to a heroic tale of Sunday School iconoclasm featuring maybe the most banal point ever made, followed by a snotty, sweeping judgment of, well, the majority of the Church. All in the spirit, of course, of teaching <i>others</i> not to do that, shame on them. Amen, Constanza. Adam precisely said — not everyone will be saved. That is, not everyone. Not. Everyone.
