sevenbak,
The scripture you referenced here from Jeremiah does not say that Jeremiah existed before he was born. No “wresting” needed.

God says to Jeremiah that He knew Jeremiah before he was even formed and appointed him a prophet while he was in his mother’s womb.

Again, foreknowledge and omniscience do not equal the same thing as Jeremiah existing in a spirit waiting room in heaven.

You are taking concepts the Bible does not teach - which were invented by the mormon church not that long ago - and infusing them into passages of the Bible which do not teach them, but contain one word or so that seems to jive with your pre-belief. This is common with mormonism, by the way.

Call what you believe “mormonism”. I have no problem with that at all and you have a right to believe whatever you want - including the whole back story about the planet Kolob and the becoming a god teaching.

Just don’t try to pass it off as Christian or Biblical. It is neither.

2-This may help with Genesis 2:5 - from a Hebrew scholar...

See where you go for knowledge and understanding to others with PHD's etc.

Some of that is good but should not be the final word for these are a composite of mingling with the philosophy and the traditions of men!

The Lord has taught the the LDS to read study it out in our mind or ponder and then pray and ask the God in Jesus name.

Spirits are eternal when you die your spirit return home to God, and you body rest in the grave!

Your spirit always was and always will be it will never die but where it resides in the hereafter is vital.

So Jeremiah was a spirit in waiting for a corporal body there was no invention by the LDS!

Here’s another question for you? When Mary and Elisabeth were both pregnant, and they came together before either of them delivered, John lept in the womb when Mary came near Elisabeth and spoke. Why do you suppose this happened? The spirit of John inside the womb recognized Mary or Christ’s own spirit or both, and felt their presence, IMHO.
