Mormons and the Pre-existance

[Asa_Ben_Judah]

God Created us, and then breathed life into us. Mormon theology teaches that we did live in heaven before we came down to earth.
But they also teach that Jesus is Lucifers brother. This is what I to was taught at a very early age. Jesus, who is Jesus is the place to begin with those of the LDS faith. Because who Jesus is, is at the very center of what it means to be a Christian. I was taught Mormonism at a very early age. it was not until I was older that I found Christ. The only thing good in me is Him who breathed life into me. This is where I began to find peace. In good times as well as in bad.

I rejoice in the confession that one has found Christ, that is the purpose of life.

May I elaborate on a few points.

Lucifer became the Devil or Satan, this being was not created evil so when he was the brother of Jesus he was GOOD.

Jesus Christ IS at the very centre of the Mormon faith, Lucifer who has become the Devil or Satan is at the very centre of this world.

In Christianity and very much in Scripture, God through Jesus Created Lucifer a good angel, but he wanted equality with God.
This is the fall of this good angel, the fall of our first parents and the fall of each one of us. To move away from the grace of God, His Glory, that which gives us life in order to attain our own Glory that which results in death. For there is no life apart from God.

Colossians 1:15-20 Regarding Jesus:
[file:///C:/Program%20Files/Jesus_site/pages/Fathers_Christ.html](file:///C:/Program%20Files/Jesus_site/pages/Fathers_Christ.html)
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him (all) things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether (thrones or powers) or rulers or authorities; (all) things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

Jesus is the Truth, we as His creation can only come to know this truth and in this truth be set free from ourselves in oeder to live in Him.

God Bless

“When I saw him, Christ, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand upon me, saying, ‘Fear not, I am the First and the Last’” (Rev. 1:17). “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the First and the Last, who died and came to life’” (Rev. 2:8). “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense, to repay every one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the beginning and the end” (Rev. 22:12–13).

I asked a question similar to the one originally asked , because of Ephesians1:5-6. There is another passage that says the Trinity knew us before they created the World.

I can’t remember all the very good Doctrine that was presented to me from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, but very good apologists did say God creates our Souls at the moment the zygote is formed that will be us individually.

God Does Not have a little Heavenly playground for souls that he created earlier, then he snaps one of those souls down into a zygote, No! Your soul is created when your zygote was made - so the best we have say.

And let’s not forget where Mormons believe we all pre-existed. On a planet called Kolob. There is even a sub-division of homes in Utah named, “Kolob Country Living”!!! Believe it or not.

What I about to write IS NOT Mormon, it IS Catholic.

I asked earlier if our spirits (soul) was created before God created the earth. I was wondering if human’s souls had lived in heaven before it, that soul, was put into our bodies.

I had many people tell me that our soul is created the instant that we were bodily created…at fertilization. I don’t think there is a heavenly “sandbox” where infant souls are waiting to be put into humans.

I don’t think it is a very important question now.:tiphat:
