Angels and Men are Same Race

Key to the Science of Theology, p. 112; “Angels are of the same race as men. They are, in fact, men who have passed from the rudimental state to the higher spheres of progressive being. Some have died and risen again to life, and are consequently possessed of a divine, human body of flesh and bones, immortal and eternal. They eat, drink, sing and converse like other men. Some of them hold the keys of Apostleship and Priesthood, by which they teach, instruct, bless, and perform miracles and many mighty works.

Translated men, like Enoch, Elijah, John the Apostle, and three of the Apostles of the Western Hemisphere, are also like angels. They are ministers, both to men upon the earth, and to the world of spirits. They pass from one world to another with more ease, and in less time than we pass from one city to another. They have not a single attribute which man has not. But their attributes are more matured, or more developed, than the attributes of men in this present sphere of existence.” – Parley P. Pratt

Ecclesiastes 9:5; “For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.”

Hebrews 1:5; “For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?”

Revelation 14:13; “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”

The amount of time, money and energy these men spent entertaining the evil precepts of the devil are remarkable!

We’ve listed just three verses from God’s holy word that refutes everything Parley Pratt chose to lie about so you can imagine just how much else God has to say about Pratt’s ideas. Don’t forget Luke 16:19-31, Galatians 1:6-9, 2 Corinthians 11:14…oh this list is endless! 

Be sure to ask your Mormon friends about these and ask for their opinion. These are good discussion starters and gives them something to think about in their alone time.
