That is, the Holy Ghost is destand to be a Messiah someday.


Forgive me for the bluntness, but a statement like this actually offends me. It suggests we must progress from one role to the next. Something like if your good enough, you can be Moses in your next life, then Adam, then the Holy Ghost, then the Savior. There are two reasons this offends me.

First, it suggests one lifetime is not enough to become a God. Moses was made a God over Israel, and he was not the only person we know of to be translated. What I'm saying is there are many throughout history who have achieved all they need to achieve in a mortal life.

Secondly, our church doctrine states the atonement is applicable for all time, for all planets, and for all universes. To state we can or need to become a Savior to another generation is to diminish the atonement in scope.

One role I do believe we will play for a future generation is the role of Adam. There is evidence to support it, and none to support the conjecture that anyone will serve as another Savior for another planet or whatever. Forgive my bluntness or rudeness. I felt compelled to speak.
