DavidM responded: Yes.
Perry cautioned:
David, be careful here. When a mormon says "pre-mortal existence" I believe
they mean a little more than you may know. To the mormon I believe that to
say "pre-mortal existence" refers to the existence of jesus, satan, you, me,
and all other humans in a pre-mortal spiritual state as spiritual siblings,
whereas, I believe that you may think of the premortal state as being prior
to the time Adam was created.
Essentially, you just agreed with the sly ol' mormon boy that prior to your
being born into a body (pre-mortal state), you believe you had free agency,
along with satan, jesus, and all of your myriad spiritual siblings. Is that
what you believe?
This is the problem with the dual meanings that mormons assign to
words...they don't mean what they used to mean. So, we can talk all day with
them about soiritual matters and we think that they are in agreement with
us, when really the words mean something different to them. Like the Queen
of Hearts said, "When I use a word it means exactly what I want it to mean!"
