BoM 24—Alma 11-

Alma 11:41-46; 12:9-18, 20 (True or False) 1. When we are judged, we will remember our guilt. (See Alma 11:43; see also 2 Nephi 9:14; Alma 5:18.) 2. Those who have lost arms or legs in mortality will have their limbs restored when they are resurrected. (See Alma 11:43–44.) 3. Although all major deformities or defects will be removed when we are resurrected, we will still have scars and other minor blemishes. (See Alma 11:43–44; see also Alma 40:23.) 4.Brother Rowe will have a thick, beautiful mullet in the resurrection like he had in high school. (Alma 11:44) 5. A resurrected person can be killed with a silver bullet. (See Alma 11:45.) 6. At the Final Judgment, we will be judged according to our works alone. Nothing else will be considered. (See Alma 11:41, 44; 12:14; see also D&C 137:9.) 7. If you don’t listen in Religion 121, you will be dragged down to hell with chains. (See Alma 12:9–12; John 8:31-36.) 8. The Final Judgment will be a joyful experience for all people. (See Alma 12:13–14, 17.) 9. Your spirit or soul can not cease to exist. (Alma 12:20) 10. It would have been ideal if Adam & Eve could have hurried and eaten of the Tree of Life after eating the other fruit so they wouldn’t have to go through mortality. (Alma 12:22- 26; Mormon 9:4)

As they lie down… As concerning the resurrection, I will merely say that all men will come from the grave as they lie down, whether old or young; there will not be "added unto their stature one cubit," neither taken from it; all will be raised by the power of God, having spirit in their bodies, and not blood. Children will be enthroned in the presence of God and the Lamb with bodies of the same stature that they had on earth having been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; they will there enjoy the fulness of that light, glory and intelligence, which is prepared in the celestial kingdom. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them." (Joseph Smith, HC 4: )addedstatureonecubitonestature "I heard the Prophet Joseph Smith say that mothers should receive their children just as they laid them down, and that they would have the privilege of doing for them what they could not do here, the Prophet remarked: 'How would you know them if you did not receive them as you laid them down?' I also got the idea that children would grow and develop after the resurrection and that the mothers would care for them and train them." (Joseph Horne, HC 4:556-57, footnote.)

In its perfect frame When President Smith declares that "the body will come forth as it is laid to rest, for there is no growth in the grave,” he has in mind this: Infants and children do not grow in the grave, but when they come forth, they will come forth with the same body and in the same size in which the body was when it was laid away. After the resurrection the body will grow until it has reached the full stature of manhood or womanhood. He did not intend to teach that the adult who loses a leg will come forth without that leg until it can be grafted on after the resurrection. Rather, his body will come forth complete in every part. Deformities and the like will be corrected, if not immediately at the time of the uniting of the spirit and body, so soon thereafter that it will make no difference. We may be sure that every man will receive his body in its perfect frame in the resurrection. (Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation 2:294)

Why were the wounds retained? In fact, in a resurrected, otherwise perfected body, our Lord of this sacrament table has chosen to retain for the benefit of his disciples the wounds in his hands and his feet and his side—signs, if you will, that painful things happen even to the pure and perfect. Signs, if you will, that pain in this world is not evidence that God doesn’t love you. It is the wounded Christ who is the captain of our soul—he who yet bears the scars of sacrifice, the lesions of love and humility and forgiveness. Those wounds are what he invites young and old, then and now, to step forward and see and feel (see 3 Ne. 11:15; 3 Ne. 18:25). (Jeffrey R. Holland, “‘This Do in Remembrance of Me’,” Ensign, Nov 1995, 67)3 Ne. 11:153 Ne. 18:25

Intelligence—The Cure for the Chains of Hell Please be true to yourself. Honor—yes, even demand—highest expectations from yourself. Pursue your education as a priority of the highest order. Gain all the education you can. With us as Latter-day Saints, education is a religious responsibility. “The glory of God is intelligence” (D&C 93:36). (Elder Russell M. Nelson, Brigham Young University-Idaho Devotional, January 26, 2010)
