D&C 130:2

buffgato

The perfect offense against the perfect defense

Borg

1/18/18 6:53am

What happens when an unstoppable force hits an immovable object?

ChiCityCoug

1/18/18 7:42am

Exactly. ...so, the answer is 'No'

Borg

1/18/18 7:50am

I think we have about a billion years of sports before we completely master them

Ulysses14

1/18/18 8:09am

Hope you're right!

We'll finally be P5.

Actually P1

Only one conference/Kingdom? I think there will be many kingdoms and conferences

Shore10

1/20/18 2:49pm

So is that pretty much just like being an Alabama fan now?

Non-mo Coug

I once heard that soccer will be the only sport in hell

Y4LYFE

... and Church basketball.

And ‘ole scratch won’t be able to hit 3s but will heave them at will every time he touches the ball...

Also in the family proclamation

dratax

It wouldn't be heaven without sports.

chilango

1/18/18 6:51am

Yes, but only BYU sports.

mwcoug

1/18/18 7:02am

Who would they play against? Or is it all reruns?

buffgato

1/18/18 7:05am

Da Bears

boscatar

1/18/18 9:11am

You pit past teams against each other and find out who really is the best.

mwcoug

The Sun Devils.

Church ball. I draft Goliath.

Telestial All-Stars?

Chester Copperpot

Is that like the prison all-star team.

LifeLongLakerFan

1/18/18 7:53am

Spirit prison

buffgato

1/18/18 8:03am

No. You won't have time. ...well maybe in the lower kingdoms.

OldCosmo

1/18/18 7:05am

People in the lower kingdoms need to be fellowshipped and converted. Isn't that

ALUF 1990

Great for families

Won't have time? Won't we have forever?

Yes, why wouldn't there be?

Be careful your bias is showing 😛

ChiCityCoug

1/18/18 7:43am

Bias? I'm pretty sure this is established doctrine.

chilango

1/18/18 7:46am

Is there an anti-bandwagon? Because yous a hater

Dissenter

1/18/18 8:07am

I am definitely anti-bandwagon.

chilango

1/18/18 8:57am

Fake news. Utah won't be playing in heaven...

ColoSpgs

1/18/18 8:53am

I'm assuming sports will require matchups between Heaven and Hell at some point.

buffgato

1/18/18 9:01am

What did you think was meant by "courts on high"?

mannheimadler

1/18/18 7:27am

Yes, because if it matters to you it matters to Him.

Thug Mormons

or golf

BYUBandfan

1/18/18 9:11am

Boxing?

buffgato

1/18/18 9:14am

So round robin it is. No conf divisions and conf championship games.

CougarThug

1/18/18 11:19am

I have wondered about this from time to time. Sometimes I have concluded

gwalker

1/18/18 7:42am

I mean, would the skill level cap out?

Dissenter

1/18/18 8:11am

All powerful = the ball goes wherever he wants

buffgato

1/18/18 8:18am

Yep, common weird thing I hear in church. Perfect doesn't mean he's

cujo22

1/18/18 10:17am

I had an disagreement in seminary whether or not Jesus is 'athletic'

Dissenter

1/18/18 10:18am

I think we understand a LOT less about pre and post mortal life than some think.

cujo22

1/18/18 10:26am

I heard it somewhere...

CoachSpeak

1/20/18 11:10am

Not sure about the athletes part (no bodies), but maybe the others

buffgato

1/20/18 12:02pm

I don’t know why not...

CoachSpeak

1/20/18 12:37pm

Great... I'm left wondering just what I spent my time doing!!??

Borg

1/20/18 1:17pm

Apparently you had a wide range of interests....

CoachSpeak

1/20/18 1:49pm

Actually... this line of thinking aligns with a lot

why wouldn't he be able to? All-powerful. Can command the elements..

ColonelMustard

1/19/18 11:41pm

Didn’t God wrestle with Jacob?

CoachSpeak

1/20/18 11:13am

but if he can command the elements he can command a rubber ball to go

ColonelMustard

1/19/18 11:41pm

B-ball in the celestial league where both sides command elements. Could be good

Sports are a great way to improve one's self... also heaven isn't boring, also

Thank you! I had the conversation with a missionary

Denesheo

1/18/18 1:24pm

Everyone would have a distinct advantage and it won't be allowed because of that

stevebyu8

1/18/18 9:03am

I'm convinced that the singular reason we have and enjoy sports here on earth

Cougarclaw

1/18/18 9:27am

Does perfection imply that we are all the same?

Cougarclaw

1/18/18 9:51am

Maybe I'm a heretic, but I don't imagine heaven that way

Dissenter

1/18/18 9:53am

It can' be perfect without sports. I see perfect with winning and losing.

Tough competition when everyone will be perfected.

Count Cougar

Yes, but the Telestial teams will rarely beat the Celestial teams-- Talent gap.

AZcougLawyer

1/18/18 10:15am

I'm hoping there's duck hunting in heaven...

CoachSpeak

1/18/18 10:34am

Perfect ref's and umpires. That will be heaven

dratax

1/18/18 10:35am

Because we will have agency and physical bodies.

Football without injuries? Sounds heavenly to me.

The correct translation of the first words in the Bible are "In the big inning"
