We have finished all of the scriptural references from Psalms 8: 4-5. In addition the footnotes to these verses in the LDS version of the Bible link us to three subjects in the Topical Guide: Mortality; Worth of Souls; and Man, Potential to Become Like Heavenly Father. For the modern Christian conception of Angels as spiritual beings fundamentally different in nature than men this might be a long diversion.
Within Mormonism, however, these topics are of central importance to our conception of Angels, the Celestial court whom God addresses in Psalms 82 (a scripture that Jesus said "could not be broken").
"Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men."
Our first subject from the Topical Guide will be Mortality. We will explore the role that this life plays for the spirit children of God, who according to the plan of their Father, have come down to Earth for a Mortal experience.
