Tell me the meaning of these words (Mormons only please)

1. Salvation
2. Repent
3. Hell/Hades
4. Heaven
5. Eternity
6. Death
7. Spirit
8. Soul

Answer 1

2- Repentance
The Greek word of which this is the translation denotes a change of mind, i.e., a fresh view about God, about oneself, and about the world. Since we are born into conditions of mortality, repentance comes to mean a turning of the heart and will to God, and a renunciation of sin to which we are naturally inclined. Without this there can be no progress in the things of the soul’s salvation, for all accountable persons are stained by sin, and must be cleansed in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. Repentance is not optional for salvation; it is a commandment of God

3. Hell
An English translation of the Hebrew word Shoel, hell signifies an abode of departed spirits and corresponds to the Greek Hades. In common speech it generally denotes the place of torment for the wicked, although it has been often held, both in the Jewish and the Christian churches, that Hades (meaning broadly the place of all departed spirits) consists of two parts, paradise and Gehenna, one the abode of the righteous and the other of the disobedient. “Gehenna,” or “Gehenna of fire,” is the Greek equivalent of the “valley of Hinnom,” a deep glen of Jerusalem where the idolatrous Jews offered their children to Moloch (2 Chr. 28: 3; 2 Chr. 33: 6; Jer. 7: 31; Jer. 19: 2-6). It was afterwards used as a place for burning the refuse of the city (2 Kgs. 23: 10), and in that way became symbolical of the place of torment (Matt. 5: 22, 29-30; Matt. 10: 28; Matt. 18: 9; Matt. 23: 15, 33; Mark 9: 43, 45, 47; Luke 12: 5; James 3: 6). Expressions about “hell-fire” are probably due to the impression produced on men’s minds by the sight of this ceaseless burning, and are figurative of the torment of those who willfully disobey God.
In latter-day revelation hell is spoken of in at least two senses. One is the temporary abode in the spirit world of those who were disobedient in this mortal life. It is between death and the resurrection, and persons who receive the telestial glory will abide there until the last resurrection (D&C 76: 84-85, 106), at which time they will go to the telestial glory. In this sense the Book of Mormon speaks of spiritual death as hell (2 Ne. 9: 10-12). Hell, as thus defined, will have an end, when all the captive spirits have paid the price of their sins and enter into a degree of glory after their resurrection. Statements about an everlasting hell (Hel. 6: 28; Moro. 8: 13) must be interpreted in their proper context in the light of D&C 19: 4-12, which defines eternal and endless punishment.
On the other hand, the devil and his angels, including the sons of perdition, are assigned to a place spoken of as a lake of fire - a figure of eternal anguish. This condition is sometimes called hell in the scriptures (2 Pet. 2: 4; D&C 29: 38; D&C 88: 113). This kind of hell, which is after the resurrection and judgment, is exclusively for the devil and his angels, and is not the same as that consisting only of the period between death and resurrection. The one group are redeemed from hell and inherit some degree of glory. The other receive no glory. They continue in spiritual darkness. For them the conditions of hell remain.

4 Heaven
This term has several meanings in the scriptures. It is first of all the place where God lives and the future home of the saints (Gen. 28: 12; Ps. 11: 4; Matt. 6: 9). It also means the expanse around the earth, as the heavens (Gen. 1: 1, 17; Ex. 24: 10). It is usually thought of as being “up,” or above the earth (cf. Alma 18: 30-32). In the sense of being God’s home and the ultimate place for the faithful, it is clearly distinguished from paradise, which is the temporary abode of the faithful spirits of persons who have lived and died on this earth. Jesus visited paradise after his death on the cross, but on the third day thereafter, he informed Mary that he had not yet been to the Father (see Luke 23: 39-44; John 20: 17).

6. Death
Two kinds of death are spoken of in the scriptures. One is the death of the body, which is caused by the separation of the body from the spirit; i.e., “The body without the spirit is dead” (James 2: 26). The other is spiritual death, which is to die as pertaining to, or to be separated from,righteousness - to be alienated from the things of God (Alma 12: 16, 32; Alma 40: 26). Both of these deaths were introduced into the world by the fall of Adam. But death is also the consequence of our own sins. We make our own spiritual death by our works, our thoughts, and our actions. As Paul said, “The wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6: 23), and some are “dead” while they “liveth” (1 Tim. 5: 6).
In explaining these things, Jacob called the physical death, the grave, and spiritual death he called hell. The atonement of Jesus Christ will bring all persons back into the presence of God to be judged, the body coming forth from the grave and uniting with the spirit released from paradise or from hell (as the case may be). This will restore all mankind to the presence of God. This is the same as Paul spoke: “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive” (1 Cor. 15: 21-23). Then those who have willfully rebelled against the light and truth of the gospel will suffer again a spiritual death, which is called the second death (Rev. 20: 14; Alma 12: 16-18; Hel. 14: 16-19; D&C 76: 36-37). Each person suffers only one physical death, since when once resurrected, the body can die no more (Alma 11: 42-45).
Latter-day revelation teaches that there was no death on this earth for any forms of life before the fall of Adam. Indeed, death entered the world as a direct result of the fall

7. Spirit
The word spirit is used in several ways in the scriptures. Probably the basic use has to do with the conscious intelligent individual entity that had an existence previous to mortality. That is, all forms of living things - man, beast, and vegetation - existed as individual spirits, before any form of life existed upon the earth. The spirit is in the likeness of the physical body, as demonstrated in Gen. 2: 5; 1 Ne. 11: 11; Ether 3: 15-16; D&C 77: 2; 129; Moses 3: 4-7. Furthermore, all spirit is matter, but is more refined and pure than mortal element (D&C 131: 7).
Every person is literally a son or a daughter of God, having been born as a spirit to Heavenly Parents previous to being born to mortal parents on the earth (cf. Heb. 12: 9). Thus each on of us is a dual being: an immortal spirit body, clothed with a body of flesh and bone. As defined in scripture, the spirit and the body constitute the mortal soul (D&C 88: 15; cf. Gen. 2: 7; Moses 3: 7-9; Abr. 5: 7). A spirit can live independent of a body, but the body cannot live without the spirit (cf. James 2: 26). In the resurrection, the immortal spirit is reunited with the same body of flesh and bone it possessed as a mortal, with two major differences: The union will be permanent, and the body will not be subject to aging and death.

8. Soul

“Soul,” True to the Faith, (2004), 164

The term soul is used in two ways in the scriptures. First, a spirit that is united with a physical body, whether in mortality or after resurrection, is called a soul (see D&C 88:15–16). Second, our spirits are sometimes called souls (see Alma 40:15–18; Abraham 3:23).

Answer 2

1. Salvation - To be saved from sin

2. Repent - To turn away from sin of one's own volition and to truly feel sorry, not just to say it but to mean it. To appreciate what you've done.

3. Hell/Hades - Well there's a few things given that broad title; Spirit Prison is where "bad" folks go after death. Not so nice there. Nicer folks go to Spirit Paradise where they get to preach to those in prison. After that really really bad folks are burned clean in a lake of firea nd then go to the lowest part of Heaven which will be covered next! Lastly those who know the truth of the Gospel, know the Holy Ghost, &c. and then deny it will be cast into outer darkness for eternity.

4. Heaven - There are three levels. Celestial, equated to the sun, is the greatest. There you are with God the Father and with Jesus Christ. Oh what a glorious day! This is where the best of the best go, those who followed the Gospel Next is Terrestial (sounds funny, I know) equated to the moon. This is where folks who maybe lived great lives but didn't either accept the Gospel or accepted it but didn't do everything required. Still a great place and you get to be with the Holy Spirit. Last is the Tellestial Kingdom, equated to the stars. This place will be a hell in the sense that there is no presence of God and you'll never get out, it'll be an eternity knowing you were wrong and could have been with God. But it's still a great place. The prophet Joseph Smith saw it in a vision and told folks that "if you saw it then you would kill yourself just to go there."

5. Eternity - Something no one's mind can comprehend.

6. Death - Temporal death is when the body dies. Tadaa!

7. Spirit - There's the Holy Spirit, part of the God-head and then ours. Our spirits are us, they were us before earth and the'll be us in Spirit Paradise and Spirit Prison.

8. Soul - The soul is when body and spirit come together. That's it.

Answer 3

1. Salvation - a name given to the process of determining the destiny of a person's soul

2. Repent - make amends for something

3. Hell/Hades - Spirit prison before the judgment, Outer Darkness after the judgment

4. Heaven - any manifestation of light should be considered heaven

5. Eternity - the constant and endless state of existence

6. Death - a separation from life and progression

7. Spirit - highly sophisticated, tangible material that houses intelligence

8. Soul - the combination of a physical body and a spirit

Answer 4

I will answer your question though I am sure your reasons are anything but pure.
Salvation is the goal of religion, the combined two part atonement of Christ and the continued effort in our lives to do as Christ has commanded us to do.
Repentance is the action of changing your life. It involves an active approach of turning away from our sins and embrassing the good things in life.
Hell is reserved for those who have once imbrassed the spirit of the lord and latter regected it to the point of leading his children away. It is also reserved for those who have sined beyond the power of repentance.
Heaven is the home of those who have accepted the atonement of Christ in their lives and have lived their lives in accordance with Christs teaching. It is an eternal home where we can dwell with our families and most importantly our Heavenly Father.
Eternity is just that. Eternity. Endless and unmared by time and effirmity.
Death is the either the spiritual death created by our sins resulting in our seperation from God or the physical death we all must go through which was inturn concqured by Christ when he rose from the grave insuring the resurection of all men at his second comming.
Spirit can mean two things The Holy Spirt, member of the God head and testifier of truth. Or the Spirit that dwells inside each of us. Created before the world was by our Father and placed inside each of us at conseption.
Soul is often used interchangably with spirit though it sometimes has a conotation of moral sustanance.

Answer 5

Wow, Kia did her homework. Good Job!

I'll try to define them using my words

1. Salvation - Freedom from something that once bound you
2. Repent - Turning away from sin, changing
3. Hell/Hades -
a) state in which spirits who rejected or did not receive the gospel are in between death and resurrection.
b)A place/state where those who committed the unpardonable sin of denying the Holy Chost are consigned after the resurrection
4. Heaven - lots of different definitions, the sky, outerspace, a degree of glory, being in the presence of God.......
5. Eternity - without boundaries, without end, can refer to both time and space
6. Death - a seperation. ie physical death the body and the spirit are seperated.
7. (tough one, let me think for a minute).....The being that inhabits my physical body, it is created by God. lived with God before I was born.
8. Soul - the combination of spirit and body.

Hope that helps

Answer 6

1. To be saved from both physical and spiritual death. All people will be saved from physical death by the grace of God, through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Each individual can also be saved from spiritual death as well by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ. This faith is manifested in a life of obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel and service to Christ.

2. A change of mind and heart that brings a fresh attitude toward God, oneself, and life in general. Repentance implies that a person turns away from evil and turns his heart and will to God, submitting to God’s commandments and desires and forsaking sin. True repentance comes from a love for God and a sincere desire to obey his commandments. All accountable persons have sinned and must repent in order to progress toward salvation. Only through the atonement of Jesus Christ can our repentance become effective and accepted by God.

3. Latter-day revelation speaks of hell in at least two senses. First, it is the temporary abode in the spirit world for those who were disobedient in mortality. In this sense, hell has an end. The spirits there will be taught the gospel, and sometime following their repentance they will be resurrected to a degree of glory of which they are worthy. Those who will not repent, but are nevertheless not sons of perdition, will remain in hell throughout the Millennium. After these thousand years of torment, they will be resurrected to a telestial glory (D&C 76: 81-86; 88: 100-101).
Second, it is the permanent location of those who are not redeemed by the atonement of Jesus Christ. In this sense, hell is permanent. It is for those who are found “filthy still” (D&C 88: 35, 102). This is the place where Satan, his angels, and the sons of perdition—those who have denied the Son after the Father has revealed him—will dwell eternally (D&C 76: 43-46).
The scriptures sometimes refer to hell as outer darkness.

4. The term heaven has two basic meanings in the scriptures.1 It is the place where God lives and the future home of the Saints (Gen. 28: 12; Ps. 11: 4; Matt. 6: 9).2 It is the expanse around the earth (Gen. 1: 1, 17; Ex. 24: 10). Heaven is clearly not paradise, which is the temporary place for the faithful spirits of those who have lived and died on this earth. Jesus visited paradise after his death on the cross, but on the third day, he informed Mary that he had not yet been to the Father (Luke 23: 39-44; John 20: 17; D&C 138: 11-37).

5. To live forever as families in God’s presence (D&C 132: 19-20, 24, 55). Eternal life is God’s greatest gift to man.

6. Death, Physical-The separation of the body and the spirit.
Death, Spiritual-Separation from God and his influences; to die as to things pertaining to righteousness. Lucifer and a third part of the hosts of heaven suffered a spiritual death when they were cast out of heaven (D&C 29: 36-37).

7. That part of a living being which exists before mortal birth, which dwells in the physical body during mortality, and which exists after death as a separate being until the resurrection. All living things—mankind, animals, and plants—were spirits before any form of life existed upon the earth

8. The scriptures speak of souls in three ways:1 spirit beings, both premortal and postmortal (Alma 40: 11-14; Abr. 3: 23);2 a spirit and a body united in mortality (Abr. 5: 7); and3 an immortal, resurrected person whose spirit and body have become inseparably connected (Alma 40: 23; D&C 88: 15-16).
