LDS Newsroom on life and death

LDS Newsroom on life and death in light of Pres. Hinckley’s funeral.

[L]iterary scholar Harold Bloom proclaimed the following: “ … Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer, and Revelator Joseph Smith.”

Most important, this affirmation of life in the face of death arises from faith in God’s abundant mercy. Joseph Smith taught that God is “more liberal in His views, and boundless in His mercies and blessings, than we are ready to believe or receive.”
