There are a few gems from a document called "Some miscellaneous questions and answers." I went right to this one first. Seems like it would have som good stuff, and it didnt disappoint.
Wow. Resurrected cosmic elephants huh? They just come, spread their seed and leave. That potshot at the "evolutionists at BYU is funny.Question: In your article, “Christ and the Creation,” (Ensign, June, 1982), you speak of
the “seeds planted by the creators.” To what do you refer?
Answer: When they, the creators, that is all the noble and great ones who helped Elohim,
Jehovah and Michael in the creation, when they helped they literally planted seeds. This
we understand from both the temple account and the Pearl of Great Price accounts of the
creation.
Where did they get the seeds? From another sphere, from which they brought them. This
means that the same kinds of animals and vegetables exist on all other worlds. The seeds
came from some other planet, or planets. The same thing is true of horses, elephants and
all animals. But this is so far beyond the saints that we don’t preach it.
It means some resurrected elephants came and had offspring. Afterwards came the fall of
Adam. All this is had in the sealed portion of the Book of Mormon. That’s why we don’t
have the sealed portions. We’re trying to be kind to all the evolutionists at the BYU,
hoping that if given time and opportunity, they will repent and believe the gospel. For
political reasons we don’t tell them more. It was the same with Peter and the issue of
circumcision among the Jews. (MLM Journal, March 12, 1984).
Sure of course its false, it makes Joseph sound crazy so of course it is false and needs to be taken out...When Brigham Roberts first published the Documentary History of the Church, Charles
Penrose refused to let the King Follet Discourse be included in it, for he did not believe
it. I have, or had, a copy of this early History, and it leaves the discourse out, though it
left the pagination unchanged. Thus the pagination goes from something like page 415 to
page 440. A large part of the King Follet Discourse has been suppressed, as it reports that
the Prophet said that little children would come forth from the grave and be resurrected as
children, then enter into the Celestial Kingdom and reign as children. This of course is
false, and is the reason Joseph F. Smith took such labor to correct it in Improvement Era
writing which has been preserved in Gospel Doctrine as well.
Is this obviousness why Gordon Hinckley was so eager to promote it on national television? Wait a minute...It is in this discourse the Joseph announced that men could become Gods, and, once
you learn the plan of salvation the idea that men can become Gods is the most natural,
instinctive and obvious commonplace one could expect. That is why the fellow on the
Godmakers is so wicked, because it perverts such a sound and simple gospel doctrine.
This doctrine that men can become Gods is the most obvious thing in the world.
Alright! Thanks for clearing that up Bruce!Question: Were spirit children born through the same process as mortal children—
meaning through the union of the sexes?
Answer: It is obviously so, and I have heard President Kimball say so. (MLM Journal,
Feb. 26, 1984).
Harsh! CK is going to be a lonely place I'm afraid...Question: We have a passage in the Doctrine and Covenants which identifies the
descendants of the unrighteous as not having the right to the priesthood. If I were a
missionary tracting, and came to the house of a Great Grandson of William Smith, would
I be able to give him the gospel?
Answer: He has no right.
Question: If I baptize the Great Grandson of William Smith, and he thereafter gets a
patriarchal blessing, must he be adopted into the House of Israel?
Answer: Yes, he had lost the right to the blessings of the House of Israel, and must come
back through adoption. It is just as easy to get cast out of the House of Israel as it is to be
adopted in. (MLM Journal, May 2, 1970).
