You are correct, but without going into to...James,<br /><br />You are correct, but without going into too much detail about it, seeing as what accompanies this topic is very sacred, and thus it is hardly ever mentioned in the church, the last paragraph is not entirely true.<br /><br />When we are "past feeling," we don't have a desire to follow God, but we are not necessarily in open rebellion against Him. Laman and Lemuel in the Book of Mormon were past feeling, but they are not sons of perdition. Everyone who is without feeling can still be forgiven. In fact, most of us are usually at one time in our lives, "past feeling."<br /><br />I don't have the exact quote, but I'm sure you could look it up in Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith. You have to see Christ, and know that He lives even as you see the sun in the sky, etc., and then deny it. Or it's something along that line, but the point is the same.<br /><br />Sons of Perdition are only those who if, given the opportunity, would crucify Jesus Christ just like the Pharisees did 2000 years ago. Laman and Lemuel were rebellious, but they didn't go that far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
