That's off on such a wild tangent as to render it completely irrelevant to this thread.

I simply find it highly unlikely that the commands of the nature we're discussing here will ever come to me, or you, or anyone either of us knows. This, because I think such commands are restricted to a chosen few whose character and calling far exceeds anything I will be asked to (or be capable of) performing.

I fail to see how not being able to literally walk and talk with God affects my chances at receiving Exaltation. In fact, weren't you one of the major proponents of the idea that virtually no one in the FP, Q12, et al has actually seen the Savior? It's my contention that Abraham had a relationship with God that is virtually unequalled in the history of mankind and that special relationship led to the special trial that God devised for him. |

Fair enough. Similarly, you could come down a few notches.

I'm not attacking you by asking this Indy, but I'm curious why that is your contention? Is it because you literally believe what's written in the OT re: Abraham? If so, do you also literally believe everything else written in the OT?

Do you or do you not believe there was a literal Abraham?
