Wow that went right over your head. Im running out of ways to explain this point. I dont use any group (majority / minority) to establish a point.
I actually am going by what the bible says, here they are again:
strange you keep ignoring these facts
Are you being serious, are you really suggesting im presenting my own words as scripture? Lets look again:
do you see where i wrote "space" i even made a line "-------------" , now i didnt have that in before but i added that to let you know there was a space there. that means the passage is over and the next words are my comments on the passage. make sense?
and here we are back to you establishing facts based on what mormons think. so anytime we read the bible we have to run and find a mormon and find out what they think, see how dumb that sounds? i have no idea what mormons believe, like i said before (3rd time now) i dont let groups do the thinking for me. i would advise against it being as you will always be changing your mind based on what group your currently with at that moment.
the fact of the matter is the bible says our spirit goes "back" to where it came from. it goes back to its point of origin which is the Most High. this point of origin is where the soul existed before it was given. now if the bible said our spirit vanished into thin air because it never existed until we were born, you would have a valid argument, however no scripture says this.
here are some fun facts on pre existence. in the days of Jesus and the 12, these are the different sects that believed in pre existence:
Pharisees
Zealots
Essenes - (John the Baptist)
Nazoreans - (Jesus)
only one sect i klnow that rejected this idea and that was the Sadducee, they believed in no pre existence, no heavens, no angels, no afterlife. very dark hopeless sect, sound so much like atheist of today. if my thoughts lined up with these guys i would be very worried.
it was not until imperial rome came along, killed Jesus, killed and imprisoned most of the 12, killed St Paul, took over the faith and made many changes. pre existence would be one of those changes.
