LDS Do some of the Sons of Perdition Have Bodies?

[fatboys]

Joseph Smith said, "All beings who have bodies have power over those who have not.”
Quoted by William Clayton, reporting an undated discourse given by Joseph Smith in Nauvoo, Illinois; in L. John Nuttall, “Extracts from William Clayton’s Private Book,” pp. 7–8, Journals of L. John Nuttall, 1857–1904, L. Tom Perry Special Collections, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah; copy in Church Archives.

Therefore, those sons of perdition who have bodies have power over Satan. Is that why God went ahead and gave bodies to some of the sons of perdition?

It's because the kept their first estate. Those that kept their first estate and were born have been promised the resurrection.

I wonder sometimes. Actually more often than not.

You're entitled to wonder. It doesn't change what I know. So are those sons of perdition happy that they have bodies in outer darkness?

They are better off than those without

 

[Rescued One]

They are better off than those without

If you call "weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth" being better off what is worse off?


Doctrine and Covenants 101
91 Even in outer darkness, where there is weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth.

Moses thought they had teeth, Deut 4:28 only false gods are toothless

 

[fatboys]

Lol

28 There you will worship man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.

No mention of spirits or teeth here.

Not talking about God.

I don't think you know what you are talking about, period. No teeth mentioned in the scripture given to back up the claim that "Moses thought they had teeth". No mention of resurrected bodies or spirits or teeth. The text does not support the claim.

Good grief I was trying to be funny and you need to lighten up.

 

[Rescued One]

Make up your mind --- is the one with the body better off than the one without or is it the other way around?

I already answered it

 

[Rescued One]

No but spirits don't have physical teeth

So are you saying that spirits without bodies are better off because they don't have teeth?

I was being funny and also explain why being just a spirit is less than having a physical body. They will always be spirits never knowing pleasure or pain health or sickness etc. they will be less.

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?
