I don’t know exactly but she wants me to be with her.
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

Now just Who has convinced you of this?
