Eternal bodies.

This insight has no doubt long since occurred to every one of you, but my brain woke me up at 3:30 this morning with the urgent information that the Restoration truth that God has a body, (and therefore that we are meant to be bodies, we are bodies), inevitably leads to the Restoration emphasis on families,. Families consisting of marriage (the bodily union of the sexes, i.e., sexuality) and the natural results of bodily marriage (children). Eternal bodies = eternal families.

Once the boy Joseph saw the Father in the flesh, it was inevitable that the man Joseph would spend his ministry trying to work out marriage and sex and ancestry and posterity.

There you have it, from my 3:30 AM brain to you. I gotta start eating something differently in the evenings.
