Our physical body is made from the same matter that makes up the earth. God arranged the physical body so that it would not age. A perfect physical body. Because I'd the fall Adam introduced imperfection by partaking of the fruit thus he would eventually die. "For since by man came death". Because of the fall Adam was subject to physical death. This physical death was passed on to all mankind. Also Adam was cut off from the presence of God. A spiritual death. This also was passed on to all mankind. When we die our physical body will go back to the earth as dust. Or spirit which can never die will return to God who gave it. When the second coming arrives the dead will rise from the graves. The first resurrection will be those who obeyed God to the best of their abilities. Who loved God more than the world. There will be a second and a third and a forth and so on until all who have lived on earth will be resurrected. Those who have not tasted death will also go through a change where they will be changed in a twinkling of a eye by passing the normal way of death. Death will be but a twinkle. To make a long story short after those who have been obedient to God will continue to progress toward perfection until they reach it and become like the Father.But, that is not the end,
Psalms 104:29,
When You conceal Your countenance,
they are terrified;
When You take back their spirit they will return to their dust.
104:30,
When You will send forth Your spirit
they will be created anew,
and You will renew the face of the earth.
And this is where the heavenly orchester plays,
Tchaikovsky,s piano concerto No 1, Op 23
well worn but never wears out.
Knowledge
YesKnowledge? Really? You believe that I have the capability to fly under my own power if I only learned how to do it?
As we know them. Do you think we have all the knowledge of physics? Can God make water run up hill?No amount of knowledge is going to change physics.

Really? I think you are looking at a smaller pictureGod, being God, isn't bound to the rules which govern the universe.
No amount of knowledge is going to change how flight works. We don't need to know everything about how the universe operates to know the things we do know.
No amount of knowledge is going to change the force of gravity. No amount knowledge is going to let me breathe fire, or shoot rainbows from my eyeballs.
Assuming I did know everything that could be known within the universe I still wouldn't be able to simply click my heels together and fly. That's not how knowledge works.

Do you honestly believe that? Perhaps you also believe that the heart has got something to do with your emotions?The soul is in the blood, or rather it resides in the heart which pumps the blood around the body.

Jesus was God in embryo when He was conceived by Mary.It has been said of the critics of the LDS faith that it is blasphemy to think that man could be god. They claim that to do so would some how take away from the glory of God. If man were able to reach perfection over eons of time wouldn't that add to the glory of God as this person continues to worship God through the eternities?
I am not waiting for the day either I would look forward to be able to further what our a father is doing. His purpose is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of manNot really. I just have no reason to believe that being able to contravene the laws of nature can be achieved by knowing more stuff. That's not something that's part of the historic Christian faith which I subscribe to.
My hope in Christ isn't to gain superpowers by accumulating more knowledge, but hope for the renewing and restoration of all things, resurrection from the dead, eternal life.
