Let me clarify; LDS Christian view of the afterlife and salvation is different than traditional Christians.
Its like trying to get ahold of a grassed watermelon in a swimming pool with you! Are you saying that "tiny earth" will be added to in some way, that extensions of detentions will extend out for all the people resurrected to live on????
That doesn't clarify anything related to WHERE all the resurrected will live on the earth! Are the LDS always this vague about specifics?
And so the accounts of Jesus and what he did are important after all?
What did you want to say? I didn't understand the above.
Ok so maybe to better understand where you come from, what do you believe heaven will be like? Will we be shot up somewhere on some tractor beam to another universe and made as light as clouds playing harps and praising God forever with our harp music?
Sorry that was a mistake. I wanted to say the whole bible old and new glorifies Jesus and the Book of Mormon does too. Having the gospels is super critical to have, but without everything else it wouldn't make much sense.
I cannot give you a geographical address because I do not have one, and frankly I don’t think it’s important. The eternal joy in Christ is much more than about where your snail mail gets shipped.
Of course scriptures are important and of course I have studied them thoroughly.
Ok so if I wanted to visit another person in a different mansion world, would I just take a spaceship or fly to them? Assuming I could fly anywhere. Or just teleport there. If you believe in mansion planets to account for real estate on earth. It seems like all of that seems only account for human perspective of space time. There are far better explanations than just having other places in the universe and throwing away the Earth like a used wrapper. There is glory to the Earth that we haven't discovered. Watch Interstellar, it gives a better more 'scientific' explanation of how God would be to see the dimensions of space and time.
How did Jesus return to heaven, did he ride in your snarky mobile?
All of these galaxies are corruptible and die eventually. Do you think we just migrate from planet to planet when the world blows up? We believe God is greater than that. The point isnt to move, but to stay and improve on what we are given. In the scriptures, the ascension is all that we have about the way Christs went to Heaven. This could mean anything. The way most people who have watched x files think of it as a spaceship taking Jesus away like he was some type of E.T. not of this world. However, LDS do not see it that way. We believe that there is a veil between Heaven and Earth. Kind of like a huge interdimensional invisibility cloak around Heaven. Once we receive our perfected bodies, that veil is lifted for us to travel in and out of dimensional space and we are able to experience the Heaven that is interwoven between universes of Gods Creations. Like in the movie Interstellar, where they were lightyears away from Earth but when the main character was sucked into a black hole he was able to view the entire universe past and present in one point. Space and Time became only a plane and he was floating in a 4th dimension. Now I'm not saying it will be exactly like that, but it does give an interesting perspective in describing how a without beginning and without ending God would see our 3 dimensional world.
All the galaxies die??? Where is that in the Bible and why would God create them for not??
Celestial Bodies are very similar to Human bodies, they are made of decomposable matter. In the Bible 1st Kings 2:2 we see the way of all the Earth is death. The Earth will die, the stars and galaxies are exhaustable. It is a matter of time that everything around us will expend the energy of life. That energy is to be renewed into incorruptible matter as we see in the resurrection.
My post was very specific already. If somebody wants to look for men’s testimony for truth, then that must also accept the archeological evidence supporting the stories of Mohammad and Buddha. And scientificly reject a literal interpretation of Genesis 6 day creation.
