Or even funnier, what if we changed gender in the eternities, to vary our experience. That would humble a few people!
Talking with a friend and his wife and she believes that’s what happens. How can God emphasize and fully understand without having been there? It’s a 70 year trip to earth enough to be a just God? She says multiple lives here in various genders is required. Gay people are near the end of their trips being this time ready to deal with being cast out and different.

I have been pondering the same thing lately. I was going to post something similar, but you beat me to it.
There are various reasons why I don’t agree with reincarnation, I won’t go into them. I was joking of course about the gender change (although the idea of Pres Dew and Sister Packer is an interesting one). I don’t think I’d ever make a good woman – different skill set – and I sometimes feel I’ve learned far more than I’d want to in this life alone!
I don’t think being gay is perhaps a good example. Being gay is something that can be successfully hidden by quite a few people… I would suspect something more externally obvious if it was the case. It is the cause of the moment perhaps…
That’s certainly true but I got told off by my HT for saying this in my first lesson. It does appear in singular too, eg eloi eloi lema sabachthani.

It rings well to me too. I can’t imagine becoming God based on one brief lifetime. The complexity of human existence is such a mish-mosh of of social and financial status, society you live in, epoch of time you live in, race and gender. How can a god say “I have descended below it all” if he/she has not actually “been there”?
John’s theory of surviving for eternity:
1 You come down, you live, you gather experience based upon your race, gender, finances, social status, yada yada.
2 You die. As the bible says you have a perfect remembrance of all your sins and good stuff too as well as you pre-existence
3 You spend some amount of time contemplating your time here and how it adds to what you already understood.
4 When you are ready again you return for another shot, taking a new life and circumstances that you feel will best help you to gain the further light knowledge you desire.
You forget your pre-existence so you can truly learn from the perspective of the circumstance you are in and to determine the depth of your true nature.
This at least helps me think that I could survive a long time in eternity without becoming completely bored with eternal existence as it provides continual learning opportunities.
I still do hope for the great and eternal intergalactic cuisinart being available so that if I become eternally bored I can just end it all…maybe sharing the essence of my accrued knowledge on my way out.
