Salvation and Damnation in the Book of Mormon


I have been studying salvation for over 20 years. There is a lot to understand and a lot of opinions out there as to what it is and isn't. In order to remove opinion and understand core doctrine, I often resort to the scriptures to understand it more correctly and sometimes find that they contradict prominent or well accepted opinions. I have also discovered that to understand it better we must understand its opposite. This is a compilation of all scripture in the Book of Mormon with reference to the state of the soul after the resurrection. I started with the Book of Mormon because of its plainness and easiness to understand. This started out focusing on salvation and then, with my latest run through, decided to include everything relating to the state of the soul after resurrection (meaning after judgement). There are several verses which refer to this state of the soul after the resurrection which are either hypothetical or stated by those who were not prophets. These verses are labeled with an 'F' for false doctrine. Some of the verses refer to the state of the soul going to the judgement which are clear regarding their outcome after the judgement. These were also included.

Eventually, I hope to compile an extended list of verses in all scriptures including the Bible. There are certain phrases that were hard to interpret the meaning. For example, the word perish often refers to the death of the body but sometimes refers to the death of the spirit, which is separation from God and becomes permanent after our resurrection. In some instances it is not clear which it is referring to and I made a judgment call and included it or did not include it in this list. If you feel I have missed any verses or have included any incorrectly please comment. At this time I am offering no interpretation and provide this as a reference for your study and edification. Overall, about one tenth of all the verses in the Book of Mormon refer directly to the the state of the soul after resurrection.
