Death, Resurrection, Good, and Evil

17 January 2018 – Alma 40 
I love this chapter.  It is so full of valuable information.  What do you tell a person who is dying and wants to know what will happen to them?  Go to Alma 40.  Read it out loud.  The same for someone who has lost a loved one, although I’m not certain how much comfort they would gain if that loved one had died as a rebellious spirit.  I do know there will be some repenting that can be done after death, but that it will be very difficult without the body.  I think that might be in chapter 41. 
I find comfort knowing we all return to Christ when we leave this earthly existence.  Isn’t Christ the creator of our Spirits?  It says in v11 “. . . good or evil, are taken home to that God who gave them life.”  I know I’ve been in a class where this has been discussed. 
I might add, that I have some thoughts on the spiritual and emotional state of Corianton.  I know a thing or two when it comes to talking religious matters with children who have strayed far from those things the Lord would have them do, and I don’t think Corianton was to the rebellious stage.  There is no way in this world this conversation could be had with any of my rebellious daughters – or those who have strayed far from those things the Lord would have them do.  Maybe it’s just a different point in time.
