But they wouldn't have a different body or DNA or parents, so it would be unlike reincarnation to that extent.Adam G.http://www.jrganymede.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-25762738252071291162015-06-23T10:59:23.475+01:002015-06-23T10:59:23.475+01:00@WmJas - Corrected - thanks.

(There are other possible interpretations, but reincarnation is the most straightforward one.)<br /><br />In D&C 3:9, the Lord, speaking to Joseph Smith, says, "Behold, thou art Joseph, and thou wast chosen to do the work of the Lord." Since it would seem to be unnecessary to remind the prophet what his given name was, I've often wondered if the meaning could be that JS was a reincarnation of the biblical Joseph.Wm Jas Tychonievichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446790072877463982noreply@blogger.com
