LDS Do some of the Sons of Perdition Have Bodies?

[fatboys]

You do realize that you're talking about Outer Darkness, don't you? Are you saying that those in Outer Darkness won't have weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth?

Oh boy. I'm saying that those who have never had physical body will be at a disadvantage because they will never be able to experience what a physical can galn a person. It will be a place where they can never progress to be anything more than what they are. Hence outer darkness will not have truth and light.

Some of the ones who are in Outer Darkness have physical bodies, so I guess they're worse off, right?

Then what's the advantage to having power over the bodiless?

They can still do physical things

How exciting! They can weep, and wail, and gnash their teeth.

What is your point? That those in outer darkness don't deserve it?

 

[Rescued One]

You had us wondering if their punishments are equal.

Does it matter?

Who has less punishment --- the spirits without bodies or the resurrected ones?

Don't know

Thank you for a credible answer!

So how does Mormomism explain the Blacks, the Sons of Cain if the sons of perdition don't have bodies?

Seems through their own theology they have answered the question.

The church teaches that those that are born into this world and therefore receive a body will be resurrected-- no exceptions. Even those who are born into this world, receive the greater light and then turn from that testimony of Christ and fight against Him thereby becoming a 'son of perdition' will be resurrected.
