Mormons, in pre existence what are the spirits made of?

Question

What was the structure of all of the people, I am trying to understand your concept of spirits and the such. Is there a spiritual body, then the mortal body, then later an exalted body?

Thanks for pointing me to the reference in D&C :)

Answer 1

That is a good summary. Between the mortal body and the exalted body, we return to a spirit body in paradise.

D&C 131;7 There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All spirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by purer eyes;
8 We cannot see it; but when our bodies are purified we shall see that it is all matter.

Answer 2

First answerer had best reference. It might help to study principles of light and physics regarding light, by the way. The mortal body operates under principles of entropy, that is, the physical body we have on earth is subject to wearing out and age. An immortal or exalted body is not subject to entropy - it would not wear out, in other words. I have been told that the difference between the mortal body and the immortal body is the presence or absence of blood - but there is more to that as well, because Jesus Christ had a half-mortal, half-immortal body, and He had blood in His body which was shed in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross. Hope that helps.

Answer 3

That's pretty well it. Our concept of spirits is the same as Christianities. The only different is we believe them to have always existed.

Answer 4

I will provide this link, it explains about the premortal life, not necessarily what our spirits were made of, since that has been explained somewhat...we also know of spirits to be called "intelligences"
