Is the LDS Doctrine of a Premortal Life Biblical?

Did we really live with God before our earthly life? Mormonism teaches that we existed in a pre-mortal life as spirit children of Heavenly Father—but is this what the Bible teaches?

In this video, we examine the LDS doctrine of preexistence (premortality) and compare it with the clear teaching of the Bible. This doctrine is essential to get right, because it shapes the way we view both God and man.

If we really were born to Heavenly Father in a pre-existence, then Mormonism’s view of Heavenly Father and our future exaltation makes some logical sense. If, however, we were created by God here on earth, then the LDS view of exaltation, progression, and eternal life needs to be re-examined.

What we believe about God and man really matters, and we should search the Bible to rightly understand a proper theological understanding of man’s nature.
