Working your way to the CK

[_Trinity]

Let's not forget that in Mormonism, once you become a God you will still have to work. There is just no peace and rest in this theology. Ever. It's just obnoxious why a group can think that making a goal of working forever is supposed to be palatable.

Yes, well, it's a Godly work, and therefore enjoyable.

I think it's somewhat akin to how a computer programmer "works". It's not going to be physical labor, but rather waving your hand and having universes come together.

I can move my fingers and create worlds!!!

Oh yeah. Godly work. Enjoyable. I am a female, so the Mormon hereafter spells trouble for me. A bazillion children running amuck in the universe, raping, pillaging and plundering each other with big sticks for centuries at a time while I get to watch in horror. I get no power, I get no name, I get no respect. Fun, fun, fun.

I like that story, Scottie.

I believe that story has its origins in Stephen Robinson's "Believing Christ," which I quite like and which describes an Atonement-centered gospel, not a works-centered one.

Of course, it doesn't really matter, because as Seth reminded us, none of it's true, anyway. ;)

It does since he uses The Parable of The Bicycle in his title.

works-centered one.

Seth thinks none of it is true. He does not know none of it is true. I think and have faith some of it is true.

Oh yeah. We don't know that we teach that.

Isn't it interesting that the Atonement has no place in the ladder?

The first four steps encompass the atonement and = Justification. The rest is part of sanctification

Good point.

But, just think, you'll most likely get to enjoy the company of someone who is not your current husband along with a billion of his other wives.
