Doctrine And Covenants Commentary
This is a great resource for details and information regarding the deeper meanings of the revelations given in the D&C. Here's a sample from one of the most controversial doctrines of the church: our potential to become as God is.
| QUOTE |
| D&C 132:20 - "Then shall they be gods..." What a wonderful Revelation this is, when compared with the narrow ideas held in the world! Children of kings are princes and princesses, associating on terms of equality with their royal parents, and having a good chance of becoming kings and queens themselves. But when we say that the privilege of God's children is to associate with Him in the eternal mansions, and that they may become gods, then the world does not understand us, and many deem us guilty of blasphemy. They seem to think they honor God by supposing that His children are infinitely inferior to Him. What kind of father is He, then, that He should feel it an honor to be the progenitor of an inferior offspring? Is there a king on earth that would honored by having degenerates and beggars for children? Do not fathers and mothers rejoice in the progress of their children? |
