Use of the term “preexistence”

[Jenny Smith]

The 2005 Sharing Time Outline and Sacrament Meeting Presentation says this:

Quote:

“Use terms such as premortal life or premortal existence rather than preexistence to describe our existence before our birth into mortality on this earth.”

Never thought of it before, but pre-existence means BEFORE we EXISTED, and that’s not a correct use of the word. The plan of salvation teaches us that we did, in fact, exist in spirit form before coming to Earth.

Thanks for your note, David, but I’m afraid you’re on the wrong forum for this kind of discussion. This website is not one for discussing or debating doctrines. You can find that type of scholarly debate elsewhere in the bloggernacle.
