I love this, the degrees of glory makes the most sense to me, when people ask me if they are doomed if they don’t join the church and I gladly say no. Gods plan is perfect
Which shows just how abundantly God rewards those who follow Him!!! Keeping our fist estate merits a Kingdom of Glory!!! How important it is that we celebrate the light and share the joy as Michael McLean’s songs beautifully describe!!!!!!!! Thank you President Oaks for being such a brilliant light of Christ’s righteousness: a genuine disciple of Our Risen Lord, Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!
This is the plan from the very beginning and no one has ever explained it better to me than the missionaries of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. That is why I am a member today. Keep up the great work, we love our missionaries. ❤
This is beautiful. If we keep His commandments, repent of our sins, love one another, and always strive to follow Him, we will be saved. I pray for the Lord to be with you all, my brothers and sisters, I love you all so much. Thanks to the Lord! In His name, Amen. 💖 ^_^
I remember hearing once that the prophet Joseph Smith struggled with the concept of degrees of glory at first after he had heard other churches teach the one Heaven and one Hell doctrine for so long. I’m sure he was relieved when he learned more about the truth of the degrees of glory through ongoing revelation.
“And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be TIME NO LONGER:” -Revelation 10:5-6 Because time will eventually be no longer, yet the sealing by God will remain into eternity.
Time means mortality, your lifetime on earth. A couple who is married in a temple is married for their time on earth, and after death they are still married in heaven. There is no death till us part. If married in the temple Your children are automatically sealed to you for time & eternity. If you were not married at first in the temple you can get married in the temple still, to seal or marry you as husband & wife for eternity. Your children are also sealed to you at the same time. Your children grow up and repeat the process. So you can live together as family’s through eternity. Even if someone died and they were not sealed to their spouse, you can do that for them in a temple and be their proxy. The person does not have to accept it though. The Lord respects our freedom to choose. You can decide in heaven if you want to accept that marriage or not. I hope I haven’t thoroughly confused you. I can’t seem to be able to just explain one thing, I have to elaborate more. Thanks for the question! 😊
The true church is in Rome. Don't be exiled for the bigots who thought they were better than their peers. Be hold Christs one and only church. The Roman Catholic church loves you forever!
Again I really don't know what to do with this. Is this supposed to be comforting? Or terrifying? Or what? There are so many unanswered questions here, so many assumptions, and so much not covered I don't even get the point of the snippet. What I'm becoming? If the G.A.s got even 1/10th of what I'm becoming how they address us would be so different.
comforting in the fact that as we strive to make a live according to covenants with God, my nature slowly changes into something that would be comfortable living with God, and under His divine laws. I guess it could be terrifying in the fact that if I choose to become something that desires anything less than that, I'll be missing out on Eternal opportunities, the main one being in the presence of God. comforting in the fact that those who don't choose God, while they have to suffer for their own sins, will still be happy or content being what they became comfortable with in mortality. the General Authorities are speaking to a worldwide audience about eternal truths that many don't like to hear and that many love to hear. you have to decide what you are becoming, as it isn't their job to judge you. they just speak the eternal truth of the positive or negative consequences of choices, in this case, and let you decide how to address it. the unanswered questions are most likely things we can't answer, or they would be things that God, in his Mercy and Justice will handle on a one on one basis, with His child when they come together again.
@@travismarin2595 well, there are aspects of that quotation that could be misconstrued so I’ll be clearer. Jesus Christ will be our judge who will give us our final judgment. The general “authorities” have the authority to teach us eternal truths, hold priesthood keys, and administer the Gospel through the world until the Savior comes. The general authorities aren’t given the job of being our final judges which is what I was referring to. In reality, as this video shows we will ultimately judge or decide where we fit best because of the laws we best liked to live.

The final judgment is based on "what we have become" ❤
And what we have done. Not JUST that, but that also. 😊

I have a question: what is the meaning of sealing the dead for TIME and eternity? I get the eternity bit, but what is the meaning of sealing for time?
“And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be TIME NO LONGER:”
-Revelation 10:5-6
Because time will eventually be no longer, yet the sealing by God will remain into eternity.
“All Time and Eternity” was explained to me as the same as infinity. It has no end
For mortality.
Time means mortality, your lifetime on earth. A couple who is married in a temple is married for their time on earth, and after death they are still married in heaven. There is no death till us part. If married in the temple Your children are automatically sealed to you for time & eternity. If you were not married at first in the temple you can get married in the temple still, to seal or marry you as husband & wife for eternity. Your children are also sealed to you at the same time. Your children grow up and repeat the process. So you can live together as family’s through eternity. Even if someone died and they were not sealed to their spouse, you can do that for them in a temple and be their proxy. The person does not have to accept it though.

It's reasonable to suppose that time still applies in the Spirit World; in fact, it is necessary. Not being bound by time will come to us after.
So is there a hell
The video says: not as an ultimate destiny.
If I don’t get a chance to be married and sealed in the temple will I never reach exaltation?
If you dont get a chance in this life you will get a chance in the next.
@ So I should wait? Making a wrong decision would be very bad.
Yes.
Make a good decision, whatever that decision may be.

The G.A.'s might not get you but Jesus does. Do what he asks of us and it'll be ok. Gain that relationship with Him and you will worry less.

Making a comment is where you get to share your opinion but you didn't do that.
