But I asked: What is your religion, and do you have a link that describes your denomination's description of Heavenly Father (please share the links), and do you have an understanding that you might express differently from your provided text?

In the sense that women are not given a priesthood office, no. But in the sense I explained above, yes.

@GoCeltics that is, if there are any... Also, there are "elder daughters", those daughters of Eve in this dispensation who have entered the spirit world before their contemporaries and posterity, some of whom are resurrected. Women do not require a priesthood office to be "clothed with power and authority" to be "chosen messengers" organized by the prophets through the ages (of every age).

"Yet"

I think you've been corrected more than once on what the "LDS Heavenly Father" is, unless for some reason (what is that reason?) this term is used to convey something other than this: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/god-the-father?lang=eng See also: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/gs/father-in-heaven?lang=eng https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/study-topics-test/heavenly-father?lang=eng Individual Church members' personal beliefs -- and yours -- may or may not reflect the information in these links. What is your religion, and do you have a link that describes your denomination's description of Heavenly Father (please share the links), and do you have an understanding that you might express differently from your provided text?

Great minds...!!!

I put in my name for consideration.

Of course.

It depends on how you read individual verses in relation to and in context of the whole section and other scriptures, I guess. If your interpretation is knowledge essential for our exaltation, please describe how. I don't necessarily see my interpretation as essential. As to the thread title / OP, I see women as teaching in the spirit world, resurrected and not.

Of course!

57 follows previous verses that say they (and women) may be or may not be resurrected while preaching int he spirit world, but that they eventually will be. So, they can preach the gospel in the spirit world in either estate. Jesus spoke to the righteous spirits before His and their resurrection; the righteous spirts preach before and after their resurrection as the case may be.

I got a head start and am already raptured -- this is just a special guest appearance. See you soon!

The faithful elders in verse 57 can preach whether resurrected or not. Spring-boarding off verse 51, verses 52 - 56 show that the big picture applies to all choice spirits, both men and women, resurrected and not.

A partial recognition like that is like me concluding that your view is that God became God once you began worshipping Him. I suppose you might consider that as being "from eternity to eternity."

(v 39) Yes, by the time the dead reach the spirit world, they had lived, whichever age applies. (v 51) It more precisely says they had power to come forth, and so on. The Lord decides when that power is exercised. There were many if not all saints who lived and died before Christ that came forth just after Christ did, according to the scriptures. The faithful elders in v. 57 may or may not be currently resurrected; that depends on the Lord's decision for them.

This is the attitude of many of the Book or Mormon missionaries, particularly the sons of Mosiah and Samuel the Lamanite.

Replying to your three questions: We sometimes choose to disobey and ignore the consequences. Yes, it is possible to love our enemies: "With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." Conversion to God and sustained religious practice in good faith.

Verse 57 continues from the prior list, so it includes all those from past and this dispensation. The phrase "through the ages" used in verse 39 covers all dispensations for women, including "this dispensation" referenced in verse 57.

More accurately, in a way it becomes an apple when you become aware of it and call it such. If you worshipped it, it would also become God to you.

So in a way that is when and how He became God to you.

I think "normal and natural ways" allows either depending on a variety of factors that are conducive to inspiration and the Spirit witnessing to the one needing it. They teach "normal and natural," "love-share-invite," and other peaceable ways https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/serve/share?lang=eng

Same here. When did you begin to worship Him?

I don't think the gospel is preached to and vicarious ordinances performed for people who cannot possibly choose to benefit from this post-mortal ministry. Despite this opportunity, they may still choose to live in lesser light and be quickened by the attendant lesser glory, but the potential and invitation are there for them to become exalted.

The reason we trust any source is that testing or applying its output produces good results for us on terms we accept as good. This determination, as our reasons to trust any source, are entirely subjective because they take place in our minds. This is why I asked you earlier: Posted Wednesday at 05:00 PM A balanced approach might be as comfortable leading out with, “Why should we not trust those sources?” These orientations build up from the earliest stages of our development and involve all kinds of mental states and processes, including those which are recognized as spiritual within secular and scientific disciplines.

When you learned of Him, recognized Him and worshiped Him one way He became God?
