THE ATONEMENT

Talk By Cleon Skousen

President Kimball introduced one subject in General Priesthood Meeting that isn’t generally discussed that I want to comment on because it’s the whole foundation of Easter that’s never discussed. We just don’t talk about it, and we’re the only people that know about it. And we’ve almost lost it as a doctrine of the Church. So I was quite thrilled when President Kimball introduced it. He said:

“I want everybody to understand that in this life we only have a very limited amount of priesthood authority to function with. There are many ordinances that as yet must be given to us in the next world. One of them is the ordinance of resurrection. We’re not allowed to perform that ordinance here. It’s an ordinance of the priesthood, we’ll get it over there.

Over in the next life we’ll also have the ordinance of begetting spirit children with spirit bodies and that’s something that we have no power or capacity to do here. Physical bodies, yes, but not spirit.”

Then he got onto a theme that I’m sure may have sounded a little strange to some ears. He said:

“You’ll be able to have access to the intelligences in the universe and organize them and make planets and organize kingdoms.”
