With that, since LDS is the only true gospel of god on earth, and we were part of that, and we have left being identified as deceived, he was declaring that we exmos ARE the very elect!
Sweet Jesus and mother of Joseph Smith!
We are better than even the apostles!
We are the very elect and the rest of the members who remain, are less elect than we are!
Mods and Doc Shades, I want to change my avatar status to "the very elect"!
According to the dictionary, "the elect" is defined as:
noun (the elect)
Christian Theology -- chosen by God for salvation.
the chosen, the elite, the favored; the crème de la crème.
We exmos must have been kick ass and bitchin in the pre-existence! I bet even Joseph Smith was jealous of our gallantry.
If it weren't for me telling God that I rather be born in the "last days" and thereby passing up on being the philandering purveyor of polygamous restoration, old Joe would have just a nobody to the Mormons!
Pats on the back for all my fellow elect exmormons!
