Salvation and Exaltation
We Follow Jesus Christ,” Ensign, May 2010, 86; “We rejoice in all the Savior has done for us. He has made it possible for each of us to gain our salvation and exaltation.” – Quentin L. Cook
Jude 1:24-25; “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.”

When I hear songs like the one above by Casting Crowns I can’t help but flash back to a time when my view of Jesus was very different from what it is today. As a Mormon the Jesus I believed in was my elder spirit brother, he was also a created being and the one we choose to follow in a pre-earth life and who atoned for our sins in the Garden of Gethsemane.

December 9 – John 19:28; “After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.”

This verse should be pointed out to every Mormon. Jesus was hanging on the cross at this time, not in the Garden when He said “all things were now accomplished”. If all things had been accomplished in the Garden of Gethsemane, why would He have to go on to be crucified? And why didn’t He say those words in the Garden of Gethsemane? The Mormons have made up their own story to God’s sacrifice because of two things.
1. They don’t know and haven’t taken the time to learn the truth.
2. They have rejected God.
BTW – the Mormon phrase “after the manner of the flesh” is a code phrase meaning “through a sexual union”.

“He was born into this world after the manner of the flesh, with God as his father and Mary as his mother, inheriting the powers of mortality and immortality thereby. He was thus able to work out the infinite and eternal atoning sacrifice. He was thus able to bow in that garden outside Jerusalem’s walls, that garden called Gethsemane, and take upon himself the sins of all men on conditions of repentance. That act is the greatest miracle of all time since the miracle of creation…” Who Shall Declare His Generation? BYU Studies, vol. 16 (1975-1976), Number 4 – Summer 1976 560.
