It is interesting that Corianton’s
mind was concerned about the resurrection of the dead. I wonder if part of the
reasons for his choices was that he hadn’t really had a testimony of the gospel
to this point. It sounds like he still had doubts and questions. I love how he
talks about how the timing of things doesn’t really matter, because it is all
one day to God and time is only measure unto men. That is what I keep thinking
about with the children of gay parents not being able to be baptized. I am sure
it will cause heartache for some people, and a delay of blessings is always
hard. But if we could see things the way God sees them the waiting time is no
time at all. It is really nothing because to God there is no time. It is hard
to get my head around, but also very reassuring at the same time.
I love that Alma gets into the
mysteries of the kingdom. What happens to the soul between death and
resurrection doesn’t matter for his eternal salvation, but God wants us to be
curious and want to understand everything. It is fine to want to know what we
don’t know. He inquired of God with enough faith to receive angelic visitations.
What an amazing thing that we can so simply know these same mysteries because
they are contained in the scriptures. The only effort required is to read and
notice. We really do live in an amazing time.
