They do propose a resurrection of the dead when each of us dies, though it is not a resurrection as we would define it. But you will hear them preach there is an individual resurrection ahead of us for each of us. They will deny that they deny a resurrection of the church members.

I do not think fp's considered the implications of their belief (such as resurrection being one of the 6 principles and how they have to claim satan and sin and death will never be removed from the earth) strongly enough before accepting it. Had they been presented with those ramifications before accepting the belief, I think they would have abandoned it.

I feel discomfort in both areas you mentioned, myself. Amen.



That is what I am trying to say. That is going a bit too far, in my books.

Elder Blume when you cut certain anchors no one knows how far the ship drift. I hope you don't drift too far if you have not already. I invite you to come back home.
