“We hear much nowadays as to the speculative ideas of men concerning the condition beyond the grave; but the admission that there is an individual existence beyond the grave, is a declaration that there must have been an individual, intelligent creation before we came here in the flesh. Life beyond the grave postulates a pre-existent state.” MenLifeHas BeensIdeasStatesIndividualExistenceConditionsCreationIntelligentIndividualityFleshGravesDeclarationAdmission Author:James E. Talmage
“We have been told . . . that this life is a necessary part in the course of progression designed by our Father. We have been taught . . . to look upon these bodies of ours as gifts from God. . . . It has been declared in the solemn word of revelation, that the spirit and the body constitute the soul of man; and, therefore, we should look upon this body as something that shall endure in the resurrected state, beyond the grave, something to be kept pure and holy.” MenLifeShouldLooksHas BeensSoulStatesBodyLife IsSpiritCoursesFatherTaughtHolyPureEndureGravesThis LifeLook UpRevelationsOur FatherSolemnProgressionGift From God Author:James E.
