The Saints need some nuttiness in their doctrine, or else they will cease to be Saints
D''em balls, D''em balls, D''em dry balls
Hear the word of the Lord
D''em balls connected to the Epididymis's
Epididymis's connected to the Vas Deferens
Vas Deferens connected to the Seminal Vesicles
Seminal Vesicles connected to the Prostrate
Prostrate connected to the Urethra
But all things shall be restored to their proper and perfect frame.
Of course, the million dollar question is is there a creator God and does this God have an eternal plan. Compared with all the other possibilities I think it’s worth looking at and not casting it off as a ‘non starter’. I don’t get too wrapped up in ANY earth based analogy.
That's a stupid question, MG.
The million dollar question is, do the telestial boys get to keep their penis's in the resurrection!
Mormonism Today wrote:What are resurrected bodies like?
Physical. A resurrected body has flesh and bones (and balls)
Perfect. “The spirit and the body shall be reunited again in its perfect form” (Alma 11:43). “Deformity will be removed; defects will be eliminated, and men and women shall attain to the perfection of their spirits, to the perfection that God designed in the beginning” (Joseph F. Smith, Gospel Doctrine).
Joseph F. Smith, Gospel Doctrine wrote:The spirit and the body shall be reunited again in its perfect form. Deformity will be removed; defects will be eliminated, and men and women shall attain to the perfection of their spirits, to the perfection that God designed in the beginning.
Central to the idea of God's original design for the human body, it's clear that President Smith taught that spirits have sexual organs. And if spirits have sexual organs then the resurrection must include the same in order to achieve perfection.
So, I figure DCP and progressive Mormons (MG?) admit that men will be resurrected with private parts fully intact. A resurrected man without a pair of balls doesn't seem like much of a man. Right?
But what is a resurrected telestial man to do with his new testicles and penis?
I appreciate, MG, that you at least agree that admission to the CK depends on a kind of "loyalty test." *THAT* is a far more accurate way of describing it. It's not at all like a free "concert" or a "feast" at some wealthy person's "mansion."
"If, while hoping that everybody else will be honest and so forth, I can personally prosper through unethical and immoral acts without being detected and without risk, why should I not?." --Daniel Peterson, 6/4/14

Loyalty in the sense of staying true to the "iron rod" and living and being a disciple of Christ and keeping covenants. It does come down to worthiness, but I also think that mercy and justice will play a huge part in the 'judgement'. I do think that the Celestial Kingdom can't simply be an 'anything goes' and all are welcome kind of thing. That just doesn't make sense. That's why I asked you earlier if you might have converted to being an Evangelical Christian. If so, it's much easier to get in free to the concert, right?

THAT is the question.
MG, please explain.
Thanks.
Shulem, that’s not what Nelson thinks. He thinks that only bodies in the top level of the CK will be fully “in tact” as it were.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

Seems like an oversimplification. Apparently you need the right “clothes.”

That’s an interesting thought.

The thought is from a different parable about a dinner. Christian thought would reflect the “clothes” as being the righteousness that comes from faith as discussed from the Abrahamic example. Very far from the garments and fig leaf you might be thinking of.
