It feels odd having such a humorous interaction over such a deep, beautiful doctrine but yes keep it up Spaced_Out. I especially like the posts with fewer misstatements and more scriptures that you post that support mmp as shown above. I'll bold the parts you are unable to explain while rejecting mmp.Spaced_Out wrote: ↑January 13th, 2018, 3:03 pm The promise of the ordinances of salvation are in full force when out of this world - and we go strait to exaltation....) passing by the angles and gods to our exaltation...
Exaltation is also defined as a fullness of joy..... D&C138
19 And again, verily I say unto you, if a man marry a wife by my word, which is my law, and by the new and everlasting covenant, and it is sealed unto them by the Holy Spirit of promise, by him who is anointed, unto whom I have appointed this power and the keys of this priesthood; and it shall be said unto them—Ye shall come forth in the first resurrection; and if it be after the first resurrection, in the next resurrection; and shall inherit thrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers, dominions, all heights and depths—then shall it be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, that he shall commit no murder whereby to shed innocent blood, and if ye abide in my covenant, and commit no murder whereby to shed innocent blood, it shall be done unto them in all things whatsoever my servant hath put upon them, in time, and through all eternity; and shall be of full force when they are out of the world; and they shall pass by the angels, and the gods, which are set there, to their exaltation and glory in all things, as hath been sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a fulness and a continuation of the seeds forever and ever.
How do you explain it not in this resurrection then the next?
Do we inherit thrones dominions principalities etc all at once?
All of this is stated as shall, a nice future tense word that in no way excludes mmp.
