I don't recall anyone even implying that. I think we all understand this basic doctrine pretty well: either you must be baptized and confirmed in this life or have someone do the temple work for you before you can enter the Celestial Kingdom. That's clearly scriptural and official Church doctrine. Some of us do have questions about the spirit world because we haven't heard of any revelations to clarify things. For example, since Mother Theresa was not baptized does she go to spirit prison? The scriptures do imply "yes" but I think there is room for interpretation. Since people live varying degrees of righteousness or wickedness they can't all be in the state of the wicked as described in the Book of Mormon; "in darkness, and a state of awful, fearful looking for the fiery indignation of the wrath of God upon them". We know, for example, that the signers of the Declaration of Independence appeared in the St. George temple demanding that their temple work be done. So obviously their version of spirit prison was not total as would presumably be the case with the truly wicked. ========= Mark Gregson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ========= -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://mymail.operamail.com Powered by Outblaze ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
