Rivers Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 But it could then be argued that he only kept the scars because he knew that Thomas would doubt that he was resurrected so he willed them to say for that purpose, then afterwards allowed the scars to be healed completely and fade away so his body was completely perfect.That's a possibility. All though the scars weren't for Thomas only. He showed his scars to all the Nephites also.
LDS Guy 1986 Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 That's a possibility. All though the scars weren't for Thomas only. He showed his scars to all the Nephites also.Yeah I should of stated that for clarity, my bad! I don't have an opinion either way really I was just playing devil's advocate really!
CV75 Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 God really did create their bodies on this earth. They were not transported here; only their spirits. This would allow for the scriptures that say Adam is the son of God to be interpreted literally, which I think simplifies the issue quite nicely.
Curtis Weber Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 An interesting coincidence occurred two days ago: My wife was cleaning out a long-neglected stack of my papers in some forgotten corner of our home and placed it on my dresser for me to peruse and file away or toss, and one of them was a 1994 Student Review article on Adam's belly button written by Mark Ashurst-McGee. I don't have it in front of me right now, but I'll post a line or two that I thought pertinent to our discussion when I get the chance.
BCSpace Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Joseph F. Smith:"I... Adam, our earthly parent, was also born of woman into this world, the same as Jesus and you and I."
BCSpace Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 This would allow for the scriptures that say Adam is the son of God to be interpreted literally, which I think simplifies the issue quite nicely. I don't think we can though because the JST excerpt on that particular NT verse distinguishes between the coming about of Adam with the comming about of his sons and grandsons.
semlogo Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I know of someone who had a fat reducing operation on her stomach. As part of it they had to remove her belly button, but then they constructed a new one for her later.
stn9 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 I don't think we can though because the JST excerpt on that particular NT verse distinguishes between the coming about of Adam with the comming about of his sons and grandsons.I will see your doubtful thinking and raise you a quote: "And this is the genealogy of the sons of Adam, who was the son of God, with whom God, himself, conversed."If only there were a JST for Moses 6:22!

David T Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 CFR. The earliest reference to this idea of no blood before the fall I have been able to find was a clear speculation by Orson Pratt in 1853. What scripture tells you there was no blood in Adam's body?And McConkie's entry in the Bible Dictionary doesn't count.I see JAHS never returned to respond. By the way, I recently presented a blog post on this topic for those interested: "No Blood Before the Fall? Where'd THAT Come From?".
