Mormons address mystery surrounding undergarments
AP ^ | October 22, 2014 | Brady McCombs

Posted on 10/22/2014 6:52:54 AM PDT by C19fan

The Mormon church is addressing the mystery that has long surrounded undergarments worn by its faithful with a new video explaining the practice in-depth while admonishing ridicule from outsiders about what it considers a symbol of Latter-day Saints' devotion to God.

The four-minute video on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' website compares the white, two-piece cotton "temple garments" to holy vestments worn in other religious faiths such as a Catholic nun's habit or a Muslim skullcap.

How does she feel about the fact that you will NOT be with her FOREVER?

I don’t know exactly but she wants me to be with her. Maybe some day I’ll see it differently and come around to her way of thinking. I don’t count myself out yet. I don’t have anything against the Mormons or their theology, it’s just that I think it is great for Mormons.

Then you should ask her to clarify it so you WILL know!

If you are a Christian, and she is NOT worthy; you WILL be with her on Level Two.

(Most Mormons will be there anyway; according to the data...)

_______________________________________________________

I don’t know where I’ll be any more than anybody else I know. I will be where believers in Jesus Christ who try their best to serve Him will be. I may not be good enough to be one of the “Great and Nobel” ones but I’m not too worried about it, I know I will get what I deserve.

At any rate unless Mormons are right I will not be “with” her or anyone else for that matter. Mainstream Christianity does not allow for gender or marriage in the next life, we will all be the same. The relationships of earth will all be forgotten, the ties of earth will all be broken.

Mormons believe that those who do not have an understanding of Mormonism and therefore do not accept it in this life will have that understanding in the next life and will likely accept it there. They have Temples for that eventuality. They believe the Temple work is necessary for eternal progression. They also believe that God wants all of us to have that opportunity for progression, that is why they do Temple work for the dead. I consider it a noble idea, maybe it will suffice for me, who knows?

The rest of Christianity does not believe in “eternal progression” or having the opportunity to become like God and Jesus Christ. I have to admit that in reading the New Testament the position of the Mormons fits on that idea. The thought of having my own personal cloud to learn and play the harp on might be pretty good for the first few hundred years but at some point I am likely going to want to progress. Mainstream Christianity pretty much ignores this topic but to the Mormons it is a regular part of their doctrines. Personally, I hope they are right. If it doesn’t get boring after a few hundred years it is sure to after a few million years.

There is nothing in the New Testament that supports or even alludes to something like that.

I'm afraid you'll NOT find anything about GENDER in the bible as you've described.

(Eve made the same error when she said we should not TOUCH it; either.)

And with good reason!

After Eve made her little statement; she was told...


... “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Genesis 3:4-5

You have got a full time job on your hands, the hatred runs rampant.

It amazes me why the owner allows all of the anti-mormon stuff. Has he made a statement about it.

My grandson is on mission and his sister will probably follow in a couple of years.

We'll be praying for them...

...to run into some well versed Christians who can show them the Light.



Psst...
Tell them to be SURE not to handle explosives...

I know; I know; but we have no control over what Mormons post here.

It's called free speech.

Why does Mormonism allow all the anti-Christian stuff?

If Romney gets the nod, it may be time for a conservative party in the US.

Dang!

How old is THIS on your homepage?

I’m sorry. Are you illogically equating my interest in a more conservative candidate for president with my opinion that people who are zealots in attacking the religions of others should have more respect?

Those are not diametrically opposing positions.

Be careful in your response, I’m not much interested in spending the afternoon correcting you. I have seen your crap all over this site. Your posts and threads permeate the site and somedays they are overwhelming in their repetitiousness.

If you think that free speech is provided on this web site, you haven’t read the owners position statements.

I am engaged with Elsie now. She runs repetitious morman criticism (some of which is accurate) and accusations constantly.

I’m not mormon, but my grandkids are. I know many mormons who are fine people.

I am walking away from her today on this thread because I know it will get personal.

I value being a freeper and I don’t want to jeopardize that by engaging a zealot.

Elsie loves the Mormons as we all do. But the Mormon religion is false prophecy created by a con man.
