Any other process seems to complicate things exponentially in my life.

First we are spirits that live in Holiness. <br /><br />Then we become "sons" as we take upon ourselves mortal flesh (partake of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil). <br /><br />Next we can rise to become Fathers. This last part of the journey begins when we partake of the Tree of Life and become Christ's children. There is no other Father whose heritage is Eternal Life.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05042320466632660169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880654315943365046.post-36816080498676299002010-08-31T10:15:56.471-06:002010-08-31T10:15:56.471-06:00Another question in regards to the Holy Ghost.

Nephi said “I spake unto him as a man speaketh; for I beheld that he was in the form of a man; yet nevertheless, I knew that it was the Spirit of the Lord (verse 11)” Talmage identified this Spirit of the Lord as the Holy Ghost. Nephi latter is attended by an angel that came down from heaven (verse 14), which would be a different personage than the Spirit of the Lord (illustrating that the Spirit of the Lord is different than an Angel). So my question is: Was the “Spirit of the Lord” that Nephi spoke to actually the Holy Ghost? If so, how does that relate to what Denver is saying about the Holy Ghost?John Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880654315943365046.post-26964628987360257992010-08-31T10:00:56.275-06:002010-08-31T10:00:56.275-06:00Wonderfully simple!Wonderfully simple!In The Doghousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14168341244739209780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880654315943365046.post-13893801277937105982010-08-31T09:12:53.011-06:002010-08-31T09:12:53.011-06:00I want to make sure I’m not pondering down the wro...I want to make sure I’m not pondering down the wrong path as I think about this post and an earlier post a few days ago. Are you stating that the Holy Ghost is our own pure spirit when it is connected to God, which happens when we truly follow the doctrine of Christ?John Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3880654315943365046.post-65153330579613214812010-08-31T08:01:13.554-06:002010-08-31T08:01:13.554-06:00"If it is God who is "lending you that p..."If it is God who is "lending you that power" then how closely are you connected to God? How immediate is His presence within you?"<br /><br />I have often heard in blessings given "He is closer than you know" or "He is right here close to you" How can that be if He is like us...<br /><br />Also, deep meditation and prayer, where you can feel truly the Holy Ghost, can only be done and felt by ones self. No one else can make you feel this.<br /><br />Just some thoughts that came to mind while reading this post this morning.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02293038143552642425noreply@blogger.com
