6Genesis 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.

8Potiphers 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.

10Question
- While understandable for rough and tough football
players, - why is our physical body so critical to our plan
of salvation?
11Joseph 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
12Elder 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
13James 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.
14Joseph 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.
15Elder 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.
