THE BEGINNING:

 "Few" people realize why they are born. Nobody can remember much before they are 2 or 3 years old. In Genesis 3:22 God said about Adam after he had eaten the fruit, that he has become as one of US, to "know good and evil."

The reason you don't remember a former life with your Father IN HEAVEN, is to give you a chance to learn about evil and choose good for yourself. God won't force you to return and live in heaven. That must be your own choice. If you could remember it there, you wouldn't try to stay alive here on earth.

When men "realize" that they are children OF GOD, they aspire to higher goals. We didn't evolve from some bug or worm. We come to this earth for a special purpose. We are only here for an instant "of eternity."

In the Bible we read about death: THEN shall the dust return to the earth as it was: AND THE SPIRIT shall return unto God who gave it" (Ecclesiastes 12: 7)

"And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, "WHO" DID SIN, this man "OR" HIS PARENTS, that he was born blind?"   (John 9: 1-2)

His disciples "realized that" the man could be responsible for his own blindness because of what he did before birth.

Peter said: "Yea, I think it meet, AS LONG AS I AM IN THIS TABERNACLE, (Body) to Stir you up by putting you in remembrance; Knowing that shortly I MUST PUT OFF THIS MY TABERNACLE (Body)."   (2 Peter 1: 13-14)

Paul said: "Furthermore we have had Fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection UNTO THE FATHER "OF SPIRITS," AND LIVE? (AND LIVE!) ( Hebrews 12: 9 )

We all know that H2O is water. When it goes above 212 degrees it becomes steam. Below 32 degrees it becomes ice. It is always still H₂0. Your spirit has existed for eons of time after it was born in heaven. The veil of mortal life has caused you to forget most of your pre-earth life.

Again Paul said: "Blessed be the God AND Father of our lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings "IN" heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him BEFORE the foundation of the world (millions of years ago) Having predestinated us.

That in the dispensation of the fullness of times (now) he might gather together in one all things in Christ…In whom also we have obtained an inheritance BEING PREDESTINATED according to the purpose of him who worketh all things."    (Ephesians 1: 3-5, 10-11)

Joseph said: "There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All spirit Is matter, BUT is more fine OR pure, and can only be discerned by purer eyes. We cannot see it, but when our bodies are purified, we shall see that it is all matter."   (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith 301)

"The spirit IS a substance; that it is material, BUT that it is more pure, elastic AND refined matter than the body; that it existed before the body, can exist in the body; AND will exist separate from the body, WHEN the body will be mouldering in the dust; AND WILL in the resurrection be again united with it"

God knowing all things before hand, put us here on earth to show us what we "really" are. He knows! Some are born with gifts. Some are average. Some improve on what God has given them. Some rebel and go contrary to God's commands. This world has had its chance for about 6000 years. "Soon," the King of Kings (Jesus Christ) will come to rule. Read Matthew 13 yourself to see: what you "really" are going to be, what kind of seed you are.

The Lord told Jeremiah: "BEFORE I formed thee in the belly (of your mother) I knew thee: AND BEFORE thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, AND I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." 
(Jeremiah 1:5)

'THEN the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, AND said where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? (Can you remember Job?) Declare, if thou hast understanding. (Millions of years ago) when the morning "STARS" sang together, AND all the sons of God shouted for Joy?" ( Job 38: 1,4,7 )

The Goliath killer, David says: "For we are strangers (here ON earth) before thee, And sojourners, AS WERE all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow." (They are nothing.)      
(1 Chronicles 29: 15)

"Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, (in truth) I say unto you, BEFORE Abraham was, I am."   (John 8:58)

"And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee BEFORE the world was." (John 17: 5 )

Paul again says: "And we know that all things work together for good TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD, to them who are called according to his purpose. FOR WHOM he did foreknow, he did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn "Among many brethern". Moreover WHOM he did predestinate, them he also called. If God be for us, who can be against us?"     
(Romans 8: 28-31)

"Who hath saved us, AND and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, (here on earth) BUT according to his own purpose and grace, WHICH was given us in Christ Jesus BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN."  
(2 Timothy 1: 9)

You are deciding "day by day" which way you are headed Closer to, OR farther from God. You know the scriptures are true, even if you don't know them all.

Are you going to be obedient and live into the future? "OR" die of the plagues, (fallout) earth-quake, famine, and scourges to come upon the earth?

In the "PRE-mortal" (spirit) world, many would not be obedient to our Father. Some even rebelled, AS many here on earth are now doing.

"AND there was WAR IN HEAVEN: Michael AND his angels fought against the dragon; (devil) and the dragon fought and his angels, AND prevailed not; neither was their place found any more In heaven. AND the great dragon WAS CAST OUT, (to the earth) that old serpent (who tempted Eve) called the Devil AND Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: HE WAS CAST OUT INTO THE EARTH, AND his angels were cast out with him.    (Bible, Revelations 12:7-9)

Jude 6 says: "And the angels which kept "not" their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgement of the great day."

"How art thou fallen FROM HEAVEN, O LUCIFER. son of the "morning" (an "early" born spirit son). for thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend Into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the "stars" of God" (Isaiah 14:12-13) Santa has his THRONE for kid to come and sit on his lap and pray to him OR ask him for their blessings.

So the devil wants to he above the stars of God who sang and shouted for joy, remember Job 38

Some are fighting Satan here on earth, like we did before. Many don't want to become perfect like their Father in Heaven. They love the devil's kingdom more in this world.

There are "over 80" other scriptures about PRE mortal life, and why we are now here on earth to decide where to spend eternity.

SAVE WHO?

I have respect for Brigham Young as a man who "tried" to properly lead and bless the Mormon pioneers. In 1871 he sald: "The men are the lords of the earth, AND they are more inclined to reject the Gospel than the women. The women are a great deal more inclined to believe the truth than the men; they comprehend it more quickly, AND are submissive AND easy to teach, AND IF we canot save the men, let us save the women for God's sake, AND do not Find fault with us.

We shall gather AND save all we can. The rise and cause of our persecutions have been just the same AS it has ever been in the experience of the Saints of God. "WHO" WERE THE LEADERS and FOREMOST IN THE RANKS OF THE SAVIOR'S PERSECUTORS? THE SCRIBES (recordkeepers) AND THE PHARISEES (church leaders).

The priests; they have always led the van, "AND" always will. As I used to say to the ministers, when traveling and preaching. "I will not dispute. If you want the truth I will give it to you; and if you have a truth that I have not, I want all you have; but contention is not my calling." 
(Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses Vol.14:120)

Joseph Smith once said: "Every man has a natural, AND in our country, a constitutional right to be a false prophet, as well as a true prophet If I show, verily, that I have the truth of God' AND SHOW THAT ninety-nine Out of every hundred professing religious ministers "ARE false" teachers, having no authority, WHILE THEY PRETEND TO HOLD THE KEYS OF GOD'S KINGDOM ON EARTH, AND was to kill them because they are false teachers, it would deluge the whole world with blood." (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith page  345) CLICK HERE to see more about the Kingdom of God.

I can tell you what I know today. That there are so-o many "False" (Phony) Prophets AND leaders, who claim to hold all the keys that it can make you sick and tired of all their Stories.

I don't even "claim" to hold all the keys. I don't even know what all the keys are. On Thanksgiving Day 1986 circumstances were that I was hundreds of miles from home, and could not be with my family. BUT Jesus Christ came and conferred "two" keys upon my head that day, that I had never heard of before. Just a few days ago (October 4, 1989) I received other keys that I never knew existed. Like LDS Hymn 27 says: "Sacrifice BRINGS forth the BLESSINGS OF HEAVEN." 
( I have sacrificed, will you? Do you really want the blessings of heaven?) 

The LDS 9th Article of Faith says: "We believe "all" that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, AND we believe that He "WILL YET" reveal many great AND Important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God."  
(Are you a hypocrite? Do you believe ALL the has been revealed.)
