Did Human Spirits Exist Before Creation?

[Ray]

Yes.

You can get the Book of Mormon either:

bound alone in a book by itself (much easier to carry around that way)

or

bound with our 2 other "primary texts" (for those who might want to keep it separated from the Holy Bible - which is about the same size but still bigger than the 3 other "books" we have), formally known as the Triple Combination, or by whatever nickname you might want to give it - I had never heard it called the Triad before I heard you call it that.

or

bound with all 3 of our other "primary texts", (for those who might want to have all of our "official" scriptures bound together in one book), formally known as the Quadruple Combination, or by what I and others call the "Quad"

And btw, I had never heard our "official" scriptures called the "primary texts" before either, until I heard you call them that, but I think that term makes sense.

"Primary texts" is actually a historians' term--versus secondary sources. Scriptures would be primary sources, commentaries secondary, for example.

PC, now that you are enlightened about how we might call our scriptures you should be about ready for LDS baptism. LOL.

Ben Raines.

PS: I used to carry a Quad but felt that it would be better to teach those who are not LDS using the KJV of the bible as one book and the triple combination, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price as a separate set of books.

I learned to sing:

The B. I. B. L. E.
Yes that's the Book for me
I stand alone on the word of God
The B. I. B. L. E. ...
BIBLE!

some six years before I was first baptized. Maybe I'm slow.

Wise move on several counts. If you have 10 thumbs, like I do, the triple combination is probably a lot easier to handle than a quadruple comination would be.

Just buy another set, when you can afford it, as well as a cheap Book of Mormon (the ones we give away).

Or you can do like I did, and get them all on a palm computer, so they're all easy to carry everywhere.

Hello Ray,

You said

And btw, although I’m retired right now, I’ll still drop in now and then when I want to.[/b]

above. What does that mean? Retired from what?

Thanks

[Ray]

I retired from this website a short while ago. Which means that I'm now just donating my time.

(I often get frustrated with a lot of YOU PEOPLE and it takes me some time to cool off)

(PLUS, I'm still trying to break my addiction to this website, and I say stuff like that to help me go)
