Premortal Life

Moses 4:3 The Lord says “by the power of mine only begotten, I caused that he (satan) should be cast down. This is interesting. Why does he use the power of his “Only Begotten?” Why didn’t he just do it?
Another thing that is interesting is how in Abraham where the Lord talks about looking among the intelligences, and sees the noble and great ones. He says “these will I make my rulers.” Because he could see that they were noble and great. God also says that there must be opposition in all things. So did he intentionally pick out from the intelligences ones that were not noble and great? Ones that would follow Satan, that would become Satan?? In DC 29:38 The Lord says, “There is a place prepared for them from the beginning, which place is hell. So from the beginning, were they condemned to hell? I know right now you’re saying, “Of course not! It was their choice. They chose to disobey.” But The Lord told Abraham, “thou wast chosen before thou wast born.” So was Satan and his followers also chosen for the need of opposition of the noble and great ones? For there must be an opposition in all things.

Does that mean that the rest are condemned from the beginning? Elder Nelson mentions, “the purpose of the plan is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.” So my question is- Is the plan successful? If only a few will make it to the Celestial Kingdom, how successful is the plan? Then if you think like a business person- how do we boost the numbers? Service. Example. Love. If we as his children were all more focused on these things among his children who do not know, I think we would see miracles. But the plan is eternal life and immortality, not exaltation. So the plan is successful. ...

Keys-Mathew 16:22-24, 17:20

I like this scripture because of the Saviors reaction. His severe firm response suggests of his desire to not go as Peter says, but his willingness to do it anyway. https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2004/10/faith-and-keys?lang=eng Mark1:31-   The power of intention? Mark 6:34 I like how Jesus inspire of learning that his cousin has been brutally killed still has the emotion to have compassion on the crowd.
