So He presented His plan—the plan of salvation. It allowed you to come to Earth, where you would gain a physical body and would have experiences that would help you to learn and grow. The purpose of the plan is to help you become more like Him.
Heavenly Father knew that while you were on Earth you would make mistakes—everyone does. So, as part of His plan, He provided a Savior, Jesus Christ, who would make it possible for sins to be Forgiven, and for all people who accept His sacrifice to return to live with Heavenly Father.
The fact that you are living on Earth means that you accepted Heavenly Father’s plan and came here wanting to do all you could to receive all He has to offer. The marvelous thing about Heavenly Father’s plan is that by following it, not only can you return to Him after you die—you can also find peace and happiness in this life."

Also, how many spirit children are jumping up and down excited to accept father's plan to come to Earth as an invalid or in a vegetative state. What a bunch of BS.

Mormons always seem to knock on my door. Well, not this school year since my apartment is in a building with an intercom as the only means of entry.
Ya know it's weird, most people that belong to most variations upon Christianty always talk about theology as if they know the one true way about it. Every other religion I know of says "the (insert religion here) position on this is as follows." Well, maybe not Islam...but it might. I'm honestly not sure because I haven't read up on it so much.

To Tirod: Not trying to be disrespectful, but prove I'm not God.
