LDS Living Gems for Life



Gospel Questions & Answers:

Question:

"Within the Church we are taught that there was life before mortality and that there will be a life hereafter. Also that before we were spirits we were 'intelligences.' The scriptures declare that we are also 'begotten sons and daughters unto God in the spirit (D. & C. 76:24), and Paul speaking to the Greeks declared that we are the 'offspring of God' and ought not to think of the Godhead as gold, silver, or stone graven by the art of man's device. We are also told that intelligences have always existed and can neither be created nor destroyed.

Moreover in the Pearl of Great Price, in the Book of Moses, it states that God created animals and all life here on the earth for the purpose of man, and it is for this life only. This has bothered me, for while 'intelligences' were neither made nor created and therefore cannot be destroyed, I have wondered why animals were created for this life only. Is not the difference between man and animals a matter of degree of intelligence, just as the difference between man and God is? Why then should animals be for this life only?"
