What do you want to know about LDS beliefs?

[FFH]

Would this be the same as how others, that do not believe the way you do, feel about you and those like you? Some might say that you, and those like you, are taking the foolish risk. Just a point.

Difference is, I know my way is right, do you ?????

No....... That is a difference that I am happy to say I don't submit to. I am blessed to be apart of YAH's way as opposed to "my way". But, you enjoy your way. I know I enjoy YAH's.

"My way," is accepting Christ, and the fullness of His, and the Father's, gospel.

I worship God the Son (Jehovah), and God the Father (Elohim), and accept all of their principles and ordinances necessary for salvation (eternal life and exaltaion) in the highest degree of their Celestial kingdom.

There is no other "way" in which to enter this highest degree of their kingdom.

In your eyes this appears to by "my way," which is actually God's (Yah's) way, which all will discover soon, if not while in this life, then after death.

Well I have to disagree with your assumption but hey.... your right on one point.........All will know soon enough.

Again enjoy your "my way".:foot:

I'm new here so someone may have already asked, but tell me about Kolob and why it seems to have split LDS into many splinters. Is Kolob the planet where the ETs that lived with the LDS community in the 1930's came from?

I'm confused. I thought "Jehovah" is the so called name of God (created by the Catholics, I believe around 500 years ago) and also Elohim is plural (more than one) indicating many gods.

What? Kolob as far as I know is not official Church doctrine. Oh, btw, Kolob isn't a planet (if I remember right).

And please be serious.

Jehovah is God the Son's heavenly name.

Elohim is God the Father's heavenly name.

Kolob is the the next highest governing planet, which is near the highest governing planet, which is where God the Father and God the Son live.

 

[FFH]

Here is the revelation given to Abraham concerning Kolob, which is found in the Pearl of Great Price, which is part of the LDS scripture canon.

See this link for the correct teachings on Kolob, as revealed to Abraham, in the Pearl of Great Price: Abraham 3

 

[Bishka]

Kolob is the the next highest governing planet next to the planet in which God the Father and God the Son live.

This isn't 'official' doctrine is it?

 

[SoyLeche]

Kolob is the the next highest governing planet next to the planet in which God the Father and God the Son live.

Not quite. Kolob is a star, but we really don't know much beyond that. Read this http://scriptures.lds.org/abr/3 and you'll know as much about it as any LDS person. Anything else anyone tells you is speculation. It really isn't all that important to your average LDS person - knowing about it doesn't make you a better person or increase your ability to help others.

 

[FFH]

Kolob is a star

The Lord uses both terms.

Abrham 3: 9-10

9- And thus there shall be the reckoning of the time of one planet above another, until thou come nigh unto Kolob, which Kolob is after the reckoning of the Lord’s time; which Kolob is set nigh unto the throne of God, to govern all those planets which belong to the same order as that upon which thou standest.

10- And it is given unto thee to know the set time of all the stars that are set to give light, until thou come near unto the throne of God.

Technically, that never calls Kolob a planet. It is just talking about getting to planets that are nearer ot Kolob. Kolob is a star, not a planet.

I was sure you would say that, great topic of debate, and definitely worth looking into.

Question is, is a star a resurrected planet, with resurrected beings on them, which would not require a sun ?

Read Abraham 3 with this in mind. It makes you look at stars in a whole new "light" Just something to think about....

Probably not a "great" topic, because all anyone would be able to say is "maybe".

 

[FFH]

Yeah, I reallize that.

Also I would probably not go so far as to say all stars are immortal planets, with immortal beings on them, but possibly some are.

Of course we don't have scriptures to back that up, or do we? Is Abraham 3 trying to tell us something?

1 Corinthians 13: 12

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

 

[Gee Zee]

Thanks FFH.
I'm pretty sure most stars are actually suns though, some bigger than our own, only much further away. There would be many planets in orbit out there... Kolob, who knows, there could be some connection there just as aliens could exist (I do believe in intelligent lifeforms).

As for the other LDS who told me to be serious earlier, I guess it was an important question after all, ah? There is a dispute amongst the LDS community, I guess you know that now?

 

[apostlejohn7316]

Quick question, what is the LDS beleif on salvation, and more important, universal christian unity? Is salvation only attainable through LDS and nowhere else (are non-mormons condemned to hell straight up). In essence, without being formulamatic, what is the requisite of salvation?

 

[Aqualung]

Only those who don't knowlingly reject Christ will receive some portion of glory (ie, will be "saved"). Only people who follow all of Christ's commandments as well as they can (ie, only those who are baptised into the church, tithe, follow the word of wisdom) can receive of the fullness of glory (ie, exhaltation).

That's the "quick" answer to the quick question. Perhaps somebody else who has more time can give a more detailed response, if you so desire.
