Originally posted by Larry_OHF: Wow! Ladyzekke! You may not realize how close you are to what my religion teaches. We believe in a premortal life. We have always existed as intelligences, and God created our Spirits, which gives Him the title of Father. He wanted us to become like Him, and live with Him, but as mere Spirits, we could not progress. He had a plan laid out for our progression. We would come to earth, take on mortal bodies, learn to love Him and grow more spiritually and develop our faith. We were in His presence at the time, so faith was nonexistant. If we were not able to see Him with our own eyes, and in fact remember anything about our existance with Him, we could grow our faith. Therefore, He made this plan for us to come to earth. He wanted to provide a Savior for us as well, because He knew that in all our efforts, we would fall short. Our savior stepped up and said, "send me, and the glory be to thee, our God." Lucifer wanted to have the glory for himself. He said that he would make us do it his way, and we would all follow his lead. God chose Jesus to be our Savior. Lucifer was angry, and rebelled against God. A war commenced, which caused the casting out of Lucifer (and 1/3 of the host of heaven )(reference in Old Testament,Isaiah 14:12 and Luke 10:18)...Anyway, the Adam and Eve thing began,,,and in Adam we all die, yet in the Blood of Christ are we made alive. We are here on Earth as a school of sorts. Those that get very far will return to live in the presence of the Father. Those that do not put forth much effort will not get as high on the totem pole. I hope the BRIEF synopsis of my faith is not confusing, and helps to expain "my" perspective of things.

it makes sense, yet, it is not something one can prove or disapprove. I simply cannot shut my eyes from it, because in my knowledge, I cannot say it right or wrong. I will keep my eyes open, hopefully that one day I will gain the same insight as you have shown me
