In a couple previous posts, I discussed how clothing imagery was simply an outward sign of an inward reality, and such does not support forensic imputation, most recently the article:
While reading the Doctrine and Covenants recently, it struck me that D&C 138:51 captures this concept very well. Speaking of the righteous dead after their resurrection, Joseph F. Smith wrote:
These the Lord taught, and gave them power to come forth, after his resurrection from the dead, to enter into his Father's kingdom, there to be crowned with immortality and eternal life.
The coronation of the righteous with immortality and eternal life is not simply an external label, but an outward sign of an inward reality, namely their (intrinsic) possession of immortality and eternal life. Such jives well with how such a concept appears in the Bible.
