One Odd World
9-16-08
In the first chapter of Genesis it talks about how Heavenly Father created the earth. But in Moses 1:33 it states:
And worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose.
In that verse it says that God created worlds without number. So it says there is an infinite number of worlds, it also says that each one was made for a purpose.
So God created this earth. But it John 14:6 it states
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
If we assume that the other worlds God created had people on them and that Jesus atoned for all man’s sins, even the men on other worlds, we must count ourselves really special and/or lucky to be on the one world that Jesus actually came to.
You can either regard, or disregard all this. It’s just a thought and doesn’t really matter though, so if you think it’s really weird, that’s OK.

This is a really cool thought. I remember thinking about this in a class once, at BYU or at Seminary. The thought was this: If there are so many worlds, and so many people, then Satan is going to work the very hardest on this one because the history of all of God's creations depends on the outcome of prophecy fulfilled on this very earth!

It's awesome that we have these great stories and this great knowledge.
P.S. Do you have these things memorised?
No
But I knew the general idea of them and sort of where they were.

Where did you get the scripture references? Do you like reading BRISINGR it is so awesome. It is fun to bug Daniel about what happens in brisingr.

I did get Brisingr, but I can only read it after I've finished my schoolwork for the day.
It sort of sucks, I'm only about 30 or 40 pages in.
