Mormons: What is exaltation and why doesn’t it appear even once in your King James Version of the Bible?
penguinenglish asked:
Pinkadot: thanks for the explanation of exaltation. i sometimes have difficulty understanding the LDS view on Salvation/Exaltation/Eternal Life, because it seems that some leaders use it differently than others. I looked to see how Christ may have used the word, but it looks like he usually used different words, since ‘to exalt’ literally means ‘to raise up’, which would mean more of a resurrection… but I do know words can mean different things to different people

I’m sure you already know the answers to all these attacks you call questions.
There was an apostasy… kings, priests, and other officials of the catholic corrupted the Bible to satisfy there on lusts.

I am not Mormon currently; but
1. What is exaltation?
2. Christians are to have 2 or more witnesses (Matt. 18:16, 2 Cor. 13:1). Who are the two or more scriptural witnesses that support the ‘old testament’ as being Genesis-Malachi?
(P.S. the scriptural old testament to me presentlyis the law of Moses; witnesses Joshua, Nehemiah,David, Solomon, Malachi, the Apostle Paul, Jesus, God the Father, and probably others). Besides the ‘Genesis-Malachi ‘definition violates 2 Tim.3:16-17.

Exaltation = Eternal Life
Eternal life is the phrase used in scripture to define the quality of life that our Eternal Father lives. The Lord declared, “This is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39). Immortality is to live forever as a resurrected being. Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, everyone will receive this gift. Eternal life, or exaltation, is to live in God’s presence and to continue as families (see D&C 131:1–4). Like immortality, this gift is made possible through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. However, to inherit eternal life requires our “obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel” (Articles of Faith 1:3).
It is mentioned more in the Book of Mormon and in the Doctrine & Covenants…remember we believe in continued revelation, we also believe some plain but precious parts of the bible were lost when it was “decided” by men what books to compile to make the bible…
Thanks for asking, though it seems you already have your mind made up on the answer.
