30 I have spoken these few words unto you all, my sons, in the last days of my probation; and I have chosen the good part, according to the words of the prophet.

"they would have remained in a state of innocence" "Innocence" means that they lived in a bland and naive state where there was little opposition and they had a limited concept of the difference between good and evil. By this unconditional atonement, the effects of the fall of Adam are completely overcome. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility. In other words they are assured of their exaltation, barring any unforeseen and unlikely spiritual mishaps.

When you are tempted, buffetted, and step out of the way inadvertently: when you are overtaken in a fault, or commit an overt act unthinkingly; when you are full of evil passion, and wish to yield to it, then stop and let the spirit, which God has put into your tabernacles, take the lead.

Other scriptures which teach of him are listed: AND I, the Lord God, spake unto Moses, saying: That Satan, whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the beginning, and he came before me, saying--Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor. Reconciliation, therefore, literally means 'to sit again with. It seems clear that man's natural self has always existed. He received two great revelations about the process of affliction: If thou art called to pass through tribulation...if the heavens gather blackness, and all the elements combine to hedge up the way; and above all, if the very jaws of hell shall gape open the mouth wide after thee, know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good. 6 Wherefore, aredemption cometh in and through the bHoly cMessiah; for he is full of dgrace and truth.

The atonement of the Savior has a dual character. This ingredient is "free" and given to man without his having earned it. 1 And now, Jacob, I speak unto you: Thou art my first-born in the days of my tribulation in the wilderness. 4 And thou hast abeheld in thy youth his glory; wherefore, thou art blessed even as they unto whom he shall minister in the flesh; for the Spirit is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. 1 And now, Jacob, I speak unto you: Thou art my a firstborn in the days of my tribulation in the wilderness.

Luke 22:31; Rev.

Since all of us sin (1 Jn 1:8), we become cursed under a broken law. "and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit" This phrase suggests that the Holy Ghost was somehow involved in the resurrection. TG Family; Marriage, Motherhood. A specific example of this timelessness would have been particularly pertinent for Jacob. He makes intercession for them, advocates their causes, and performs the divine service of mediation which reconciles them to God. Hence, there would be no earth and no man, indeed nothing would exist. Yet, the atonement is retroactive.

Things to act and things to be acted upon. The presence of God that we seek, however, is not just a brief audience during which we will be judged but rather an eternal sojourn with him in the celestial kingdom. During the translation of the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith seemed to simply read the text of the Book of Mormon by using his seerstone in the bottom of a hat (see Ye Shall Know of the Doctrine, volume 2, Appendix A, The Process of Translating the Book of Mormon). God would have no purpose. TG Jesus Christ, Atonement through; Sacrifice; Self-Sacrifice. The expression "dispensation of the fulness of times" was also spoken of by Paul (Ephesians 1:10). 7 Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered. 2 Nephi 2:6-8 Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for he is full of grace and truth. The conflict continues on the battlefield of mortality. The Creation was past, but mortality as we know it lay ahead.

2 Nephi 23. Some of the better quotes on this subject are included, Therefore, he giveth this promise unto you, with an immutable covenant that they shall be fulfilled; and all things wherewith you have been afflicted shall work together for your good, and to my name's glory, saith the Lord (DC 98:3). This comforting statement simply assures us that sufficient alternatives will be available to each and every man while they are here on earth to allow them to grow spiritually and obtain exaltation if they might the righteous choices among their alternatives. If one were to keep all of God's commandments, without ever breaking even the smallest of his laws, it would be possible to return to his presence. When an individual commits sin, a penalty is inflicted or imposed by the law of justice. These unconditional blessings of the atonement also overcome the effects of "sins" or transgressions committed by those who were not in a state of accountability at the time. This is certainly a provocative independent observation. Christ's suffering will answer or satisfy the law of justice for those sincere individuals. The second Article of Faith contradicts this foolish and erroneous doctrine." About 588–570 B.C. '...In Hebrew, the basic word for atonement is kaphar, a verb that means 'to cover' or 'to forgive.'

After the fall of Adam, all forms of life became mortal. He explains, I am he that gave the law, and I am he who covenanted with my people Israel (3 Ne 15:5). Because Satan and those who stood with him would not accept the vote of the council, but rose up in rebellion, they were cast down to the earth, where they have continued to foster the same plan. A "broken heart and a contrite spirit" is a gift of the Spirit. God did place man in a situation where his agency is operational-in mortality, man may use his agency to progress spiritually.

The war that began in heaven is not yet over. Elder James E. Talmage has explained: The disobedient who had lived on earth in the Noachian [pre-Flood] period are especially mentioned as beneficiaries of the Lord's ministry in the spirit world. "things to act and things to be acted upon" In one sense these may be regarded as the building blocks available to the Father as he began the process of creation. And if there is no God we are not, neither the earth; for there could have been no creation of things, neither to act nor to be acted upon; wherefore, all things must have vanished away. Wherefore, this thing must needs destroy the wisdom of God and his eternal purposes, and also the power, and the mercy, and the bjustice of God. 8 Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, asave it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah, who blayeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass the cresurrection of the dead, being the first that should rise. "he showed unto men that they were lost because of the transgression of their parents" Are all men really "lost" because of the sins of Adam and Eve? These commandments, when obeyed, will eventually result in the freedom to choose to enter the celestial heaven. Could God exist even if there were no law? Also afflictions may come from within. See Ye Shall Know of the Doctrine, volume 1, chapter 16, The Role of Satan.

If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. God did not give to any man his agency, as every man has always possessed agency. The number of alternatives that any given man might have available to him might vary considerably.

They would have remained so if Adam and Eve had not fallen. No one will live with God in the celestial kingdom or in any kingdom of glory "save it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah." See also the commentary for Mosiah 14:11. Only in the sense that they became mortal (subject to death) and temporarily separated from God. Without an opportunity to excel in obedience, he cannot be exalted. The phrase "according to the flesh" in the Book of Mormon is often used to remind the reader that the current topic is literal and practical and not referred to in any figurative or symbolic sense. This is what Jacob had received. Elder Bruce R. McConkie suggested that when Adam and Eve partook of this fruit they "complied with whatever the law was that brought mortality into being" (A New Witness for the Articles of Faith, 86).

Read on! Therefore I command you to repent--repent, lest I smite you by the rod of my mouth, and by my wrath, and by my anger, and your sufferings be sore--how sore you know not, how exquisite you know not, yea, how hard to bear you know not.

Why does this verse say that his "sacrifice" applies only to those who qualify? Hence there could be no misery or happiness.

Without sin there could be no wickedness or righteousness. The notion then evolved to the assumption that all mankind inherited their evil tendencies. The natural self of man is all the enticement a man needs to do evil. In one passage, Lehi earns the right to an honorary degree in philosophy. We know of course that Paul intended to teach that resurrection is the inseparable union of spirit and an immortal and incorruptible body. And if there be no righteousness nor happiness there be no punishment nor misery.

Further, it would seem that in that dispensation the Lord was particularly inclined to send to the earth angels to preach his gospel (Moses 5:58; Moses 7:27). The falsehood is, "Partake of the forbidden fruit, and ye shall not die."
