Genesis 34
  • 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his
    children, because he was the son of his old age
    and he made him a coat of many colors.
  • 4 And when his brethren saw that their father
    loved him more than all his brethren, they hated
    him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
  • 5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his
    brethren and they hated him yet the more.
  • 17 And Joseph went after his brethren and found
    them in Dothan.
  • 18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he
    came near unto them, they conspired against him
    to slay him.

Genesis 25 21 Rebekah his wife conceived. 22
And the children struggled together within her
womb and she said, If I am with child, why is it
thus with me? And she went to inquire of the
Lord. 23 And the Lord said unto her, Two nations
are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall
be separated from thy bowels and the one people
shall be stronger than the other people and the
elder shall serve the younger.

Potiphers Wife
  • 1 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt
  • 5 And it came to pass from the time that he
    had made him overseer in Potiphers house,
    and over all that he had,
  • 7 And Potiphers wife cast her eyes upon
    Joseph and she said, Lie with me.
  • 8 But he refused, and said unto his master's
    wife how then can I do this great wickedness,
    and sin against God?
  • 10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph
    day by day, that he hearkened not unto her,
  • 11 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie
    with me and he left his garment in her hand, and
    fled, and got him out.

Question
  • While understandable for rough and tough football
    players,
  • why is our physical body so critical to our plan
    of salvation?

11
Joseph Smith
  • The express purpose of God in giving the
    spirit a tabernacle was to arm it against the
    power of darkness
  • Truman Madsen adds
  • the adversary is the arch-destroyer his
    diabolical objective is the clip the wings of
    life. To the degree that he diminishes life he is
    winning, as we are losing

12
Elder Jeffrey Holland
  • We do not have to be a herd of demonically
    possessed swine charging down the Gadarene slopes
    toward the sea to understand that a body is the
    great prize of mortal life
  • And that even a pigs will do for those frenzied
    spirits that rebelled and that to this day remain
    dispossessed

13
James E. Talmage
  • We have been taught . . . to look upon these
    bodies of ours as gifts from God. We Latter-day
    Saints do not regard the body as something to be
    condemned, something to be abhorred. . . .
  • We regard the body as a sign of our royal
    birthright. . . .
    We recognize the fact
    that
    those who kept not their first
    estate . . . were
    denied that
    inestimable blessing.. . . We
    believe that these
    bodies . . .
    may be made, in very truth, the
    temple of the Holy
    Ghost. . . .
  • "It is peculiar to the theology of
    the
    Latter-day Saints that we
    regard the body as an essential
    part of
    the soul.

14
Joseph F. Smith
  • There are at least three dangers that threaten
    the Church within, and the authorities need to
    awaken to the fact that the people should be
    warned unceasingly against them.
  • As I see these,
  • 1)they are flattery of prominent men in the
    world,
  • 2) false educational ideas, and
  • 3) sexual impurity.

15
Elder HollandOf Souls, Symbols and Sacraments
  • Veritable teenagers- and all of us for many
    decades thereafter- carrying daily, hourly,
    minute-to-minute, virtually every waking and
    sleeping moment of our lives, the power and the
    chemistry and the eternally transmitted seeds of
    life to grant someone else her second estate,
    someone else his next level of development in the
    divine plan of salvation
  • And I submit that we will never be more like God
    at any other time in this life than when we are
    expressing that particular power. Of all the
    titles he has chosen for himself, Father is the
    one he declares, and creation is his watchword-
    especially human creation
  • His glory isn't a mountain, as stunning as
    mountains are. It isn't in sea or sky or snow or
    sunrise, as beautiful as they all are. No, his
    glory-and his grief- is in his children. We-you
    and I-are his prized possessions, and we are the
    earthly evidence, however inadequate, of what he
    truly is.
  • You and I- who can make neither mountain nor
    moonlight, not one raindrop or a single rose-
    have this greater gift in an absolutely unlimited
    way. And the only control placed on us is
    self-control- self-control born of respect for
    the divine sacramental power it is.
