Post-mortem Mormon scholars testify - Albert Einstein

Post by _Buffalo »

"I sometimes ask myself how it came about that I was the one to develop the theory of relativity. The reason, I think, is that a normal adult never stops to think about problems of space and time. These are things which he has thought about as a child. But my intellectual development was retarded,as a result of which I began to wonder about space and time only when I had already grown up.

"Then, after I died, a nice Mormon was baptized on my behalf in one of those lovely LDS temples. I accepted the baptism with gratitude, even though I was always shaky on the whole God thing in life. After I became a Mormon, I realized my earlier work on relativity was hopelessly flawed.

"God already revealed his laws of physics, it turns out, to his prophets Abraham and Joseph Smith. This is, in reality, how our universe functions:

"Kolob is the greatest of all the stars. That it is so because it is nearest to the celestial, or residence of God. It governs all the planets which belong to the same order as this earth. It is after the reckoning of the Lord's time, which is more mundane than special relativity would have us believe. It is after the manner of the Lord according to its times and seasons and the revolutions thereof. Simply put, one revolution is a day unto the Lord. That one day, in Kolob, is equal to a thousand years, according to the measurement of this earth.

"Kolob signifies first creation. It is the first in government, and last pertaining to the measurement of time. The measurement according to celestial time; which celestial time signifies one day to a cubit.

"Oliblish stands next to Kolob. It is the next grand governing creation. It is equal to Kolob in its revolution and in its measurement of time. It holds the key of power as pertaining to other planets.

"Enish-go-on-dosh is also a governing planet, which was said, by the ancient Egyptians, to be the sun, and to borrow (receive) its light from Kolob through the medium of Kae-e-vanrash. If only I had theorized this in life! Imagine the scientific revolution! Humanity could, even now, be borrowing its light from Kolob through the medium of Kae-e-vanrash. Think of the energy bill savings!

"Kae-e-vanrash is the grand key, or governing power, which governs fifteen other fixed planets or stars, as also the moon (Floeese), the earth and the sun in their annual revolutions. That Kae-e-vanrash receives its power through Kli-flos-is-es or Hah-ko-kau-beam. Apparently the laws of gravity and principles of kinetics are bunk! If only I had known this in life!

"Well, I shall not waste my time in Spirit Paradise! I shall undo the false doctrine of physics and general relativity, and teach incoming spirits these true principles as revealed to the prophet Joseph Smith, whose permission I now have to get into the Celestial Kingdom!

"In the name of Yeshua ben Yosef, amen."

It's an excellent premise (in terms of humor potential); however, it seems a tad sacrilegious to breathe these words into one of the greatest minds of the last century.

But I can live with it. Do Darwin.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

I'd like to thank Dr. Peterson for giving us dead folks the opportunity to bear our testimonies of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It's unfair that only the living had previously been able to decide who or what goes onto the Mormon Scholars Testify website. Now that Leonard Arrington has been able to speak from the beyond through the clairvoyant powers of Dr. Peterson, the flood gates are beginning to open and the dead are channeling their influence through the living. I have taken posession of the body of one Aristotle Smith for this purpose.

For proof of my membership in the LDS church I offer the following:

http://famousdeadmormons.com/index.php?id=10

First, I'd like to thank the LDS church for making me a posthumous polygamist. Though I was a dedicated monogamist in life, I have now repented of my evil ways. Though I gratefully received my wife, Mary Vazeille, I am pleased to also have received a certain Ann Sams as my wife. I now know that two really is better than one. I hope and pray that my wives will be continually added to me by the good living members of the CoJCoLDS; may I tie Brigham with his 56.

I would like to testify that my faith in Jesus Christ just wasn't good enough. Nor was my countless hours of preaching and traveling to spread the word of God. Finally, my continuous striving to achieve holiness just wasn't good enough. I testify that what I really needed was for a 13 year old kid on a temple trip, who lied about masturbating to get his recommend, to be baptized on my behalf. And this happened at least six times! What a miracle that I could receive this supernal gift so many times.

In my life I "rode 250,000 miles, gave away 30,000 pounds, ... and preached more than 40,000 sermons." I testify that I should have seduced the women who were attracted to me, for there were several, and convinced them to live a polygamous lifestyle with me. I should have then sailed immediately to America and beat the Mormons to the New Jerusalem in Missouri by 80 years or so.

With much gratitude to DCP,

John Wesley

Lest anybody misunderstand, the difference between this cutesy little spoof and what I've done with Leonard Arrington (for context, see Scratch and his disciples hyperventilate up in the Celestial Forum) is a small one, but, I think, significant:

Whereas the remarkable wits displaying their abilities on this thread are making things up, I quoted Leonard Arrington's actual published words.

Joey will probably appear here soon.

Hush you two. Can't you see we're busy conjuring the spirits of the dead?

George P. Lee

"This world is getting so competitive and technical that a high school degree is not sufficient anymore. Never in the history of mankind was it as necessary to be highly trained to achieve in a chosen field as it is at the present time. This period of time demands that you not only be technically trained, but spiritually trained as well. In fact, spiritual training should take priority at all times.

"The scriptures make it very clear that you are to seek spiritual knowledge first, and then all else will be added unto you, including secular knowledge. As great and as important as secular knowledge is, as great and important as are the training of the mind and becoming specialists in our chosen occupations and vocations on this earth, this worldly knowledge and these achievements are not and should not be our greatest aims in life. You should know and realize that spiritual education is true education....

"The Lord Jesus Christ has told us that he has never at any time given us a law which was temporal, for to him all things are spiritual (D&C 29:34­35). I sincerely believe that spiritual education is true education. True education is to learn more and more about the Father of our spirits, or our Heavenly Father. He is the Father of the spirits of all men everywhere, and he is also the literal, earthly Father of Jesus Christ. True education is to know that each person is a child of God, created in his image, endowed with his attributes, and entitled to his inspiration. One of our greatest privileges in this earth life is to seek him and to become more like him....

"True education is to know the true God and Jesus Christ. Only when we know these things can we ever hope to enter his presence once again. True education recognizes the priesthood of God as the only great, legal, supreme authority and power that governs all things at all times upon the earth, in the universe, and in the eternities. It is the only great, supreme authority and power that governs all the children of God upon all the worlds that have been, upon all the worlds that are in existence now, and upon all the worlds that are yet to come....

"Jesus Christ himself gave us the proper sequence when he said,

Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you [Matthew 6:33]

To the Prophet Joseph Smith the Lord said,

This is eternal lives--to know the only wise and true God, and Jesus Christ, whom he hath sent. I am he. Receive ye, therefore, my law. [D&C 132:24]

There will come a day in the future, my brothers and sisters, when the kingdoms of man will come crashing down, but the kingdom of God will stand firm and unshaking. I so testify in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen."
