What are you saying then? Naked?
This is one of those questions that is of great consequence, in my opinion. <g>
Just like asking whether God's and Jesus' beards are made from dead cells. If not, a haircut has got to be a heck of a painful experience...assuming there are nerves in an eternal being.

Let me alter your first question.
"How can man love someone he has no respect for to cause them to give birth to children?" Does having children with someone mean you have no respect for them?
"How can a man love everyone of his wives equally?" No idea, but since I'm going to somehow love everyone equally once I get there this seems a minor obstacle.
"How can love exist in a being only out to procreate spiritually and create a world in the same way as the god before?" A being only out to procreate? What? My parents insist that creating me was the easy part, raising me was the hard part.

Feh, another thread from people who still think there are spirits.
The only spirits I know of, I drink!
But for the rest of you, are we going to play make-believe again?
Jeeze, I leave for two months and you guys go romping through the Mormonism again. If it wasn't for Scratch, Boaz and a couple others, this board would be care bear land for the rejected of MAD.

I have no idea. I'm speculating. Many of the things lived as part of the Gospel may go away once this life is over though. I still find it odd that many seem to think heaven is like an eternal sacrament meeting. Take the best parts of the meeting, sure. Throw out the rest.

So I guess they shine away into space at the speed of light. Talk about clothes that don't last. On the tag is says "100% Photons"
by the way, light is invisible unless it shines directly into the eyes. So such clothes wouldn't be very modest even while they lasted.
Maybe spirit clothes are actually holograms and not that made of light. Still, one wonders how a hologram would prevent other photons from interferring with it and thus revealing what's underneath the holographic clothes. I never could figure out how Jem and the Holograms managed to do it.
Holograms are made from light. Light must exist for everything else to exist. The afterlife must be massless. Thus nothing can exist. How can light be "invisible", it is energy, it isn't hiding using magic cream, it hasn't drunk something to make it dissapear. Light is the reflected energy we see when not all energy is absorbed in a material. Without these specific frequencies and the eye and everything that comes with that, there will be no light, only energy. But in a kingdom that doesn't exist physically, there will be no light because there is nothing to reflect the energy and no dark as there is nothing to absorb it. So there will be nothingness.

Sweet! Nehor for Prophet!
Still, even if modesty isn't an eternal principle, it is my understanding that all angels who appear to people do so while clothed. I'm asking what those clothes are made of.
That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy. eritis sicut dii I support NCMO

Erm, did God raise us? How does God raise billions upon billions of children and whom he doesn't even know the mother of. I do not believe human beings can have respect for women in heaven if he can't on Earth.
Why can't we just reincarnate, it would be so much better.
Like when I die my energy will go into the ground or in the atmosphere as energy must be conserved. Which will eventually be in some kind of animal which has breathed me in or eaten me and I will partly go to that animal and be among that animal and partly come out as faeces, part of me will break down in the soil and feed plants which will then either be eaten or within long lasting plants and other parts within the animal will be respired back into the atmosphere and other parts into other animals who have eaten the original animal and so my energy that was assigned to me will be spread over the Earth and then when the Earth explodes my energy will be fired out into space and mixed with others and when the universe collapses that energy will be used to recreate a new universe in another dimension. I can also go backwards and so we all have existed since the begining of energy itself. And maybe some day (or whatever it is at that time) our energy as a human being might just come back together as the whole it is now, the probability being very slim, but hey, we have eternity to do it. I guess that could be what sikhs believe regarding reincarnating into evry animal, plant and living object in existence before becoming ourselfs once again to try again at living a good life. Maybe that is why we forget the pre existence. Haaaaa...
Nehor if when becoming spiritual beings only the "best parts" of the gospel are kept, then why have the other parts on Earth? Are you suggesting the prophets are adding things that are unecessary for the kingdom of God?
