Rob Osborn Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 I find it interesting that in videos like this one, intended of course for prospective people, do not include the three worlds of glory. Why?

mfbukowski Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 I find it interesting that in videos like this one, intended of course for prospective people, do not include the three worlds of glory. Why?Clearly the choice was made to emphasize Christ and leave out other details- but they are implied.Look at the diagram toward the beginning of the video from about second 45 to 59 or so and you will see clouds, the earth and three circles following- the clouds being the pre-earth life, earth being earth life, and the three circles the three degrees of glory.Due to our limited attention spans, largely due to the the internet, no one will watch anything more than about 4 minutes- when I clicked on the link the first thing I looked at was how long the video was, so I actually made that decision myself before watching it. Four minutes is about my limit for something when someone says "watch this"- and that is exactly how long the video is- below 4 minutes!You could not have packed more information in there and make Christ the center of the video- I think it is just perfect!
rpn Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 It interests me that the video doesn't say we come to earth to get bodies, form family units and have experiences. I know the family part has never been part of the plan presentation but it seems really to be an important part of it, as the family will be the governmental unit of the eternity.
Saints Alive Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 It does say we come to earth to get a body. I think the video is more to get people interested and doesn't try to explain the plan of salvation in its entirety.
