MD: Dave H. I am interesting in the 'as' that you put before angels in the above statement. Is that 'as' meaning similar to angels or were we angels.
DAVEH: Yes, we were angels. The '' was to distinuish my beliefs of a spirit birth in the pre-mortal existence from the commonly held beliefs by non-LDS folks that our creastion by God happened at the time we are born into mortality.
Blainer's explanation, and yours don't seem to support an 'as' insertion in the explanation. Can you clarify that for me?
