It's like "spirit" and "salvation" in that regard. <br /><br />Honestly, I don't try to pin down one definition or usage. I'd rather keep it relatively undefined and open to multiple, generic usages. In other words, I really don't know. lolPapa Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704974609266088416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199387660357003170.post-22215569122869593262011-03-16T16:17:29.585-04:002011-03-16T16:17:29.585-04:00I understood angels to be resurrected souls,having...I understood angels to be resurrected souls,having already served a mortal probation.In which case,according to the theology I know of,they will not need to return to a mortal state of probation.But I'm open to new thoughts on this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3199387660357003170.post-41709619996456082802011-03-16T15:53:26.812-04:002011-03-16T15:53:26.812-04:00I also found this film inspirational.

Even the concept of hell, which seems objectionable at first glance, is really a place where people have forgotten who they are. <br /><br />I have also heard the idea that past life memories can be attributed to time spent as a guardian angel. Mary, can you provide the source for the Brigham Young quote?
