January 11 –– Who came down out of heaven? John 6:38 “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.” _____
Foregoing the fact God Himself stepped out of heaven and dwelt amongst man, Mormons wouldn’t see this verse as anything special. The reason why is because they believe everyone came down from heaven, just like Jesus.
The results of believing in falsehoods like this enables a person’s spirit to become detached, and numb to monumental events like we see in John 6:38, or when Jesus was born of a virgin. As a result, it pulls them further away from God.

Encyclopedia of Mormonism, p. 1123; “Prior to mortal birth individuals existed as men and women in a spirit state and thus coexisted with both the Father and the Son. That period of life is also referred to as the first estate or pre-existence.”
