Not an earthshaking issue, but one that generates some low level friction in some quarters.
I’m kinda at a loss of words. Weird.
I’d be offended too if they did this to one of my relatives. I don’t believe in the teachings of that church and neither did they.
If you are a real Jew, then you believe that the Mormon religion is false. So what’s the problem?
I’m a Catholic. If Mormons want to “baptize” members of my defunct family, so what? I don’t believe it will have any effect.
I’m not saying that to be critical of Mormons. They have a right to their religion, Jews have a right to theirs, and I have a right to mine, as long as nobody gets hurt.
And I doubt either Einstein or JPII would've cared a whit.
Exactly. They can baptise whatever/whoever they want in my opinion...does no harm and has meaning only to them.
Talk about the height of presumptuousness. Not that it would have any effect whatsoever on dead people but still very ballsy and strange.
What would make even more sense is to clone dead non-Mormons using DNA from their remains and raise them proper-Mormon-like. Hey, if they can’t get it right the first time...
It’s kind of like a pergatory thing...Mormons baptise the dead so that their souls can go on to heaven...
Sorry, “Purgatory.” I always seem to catch my spelling errors after I’ve posted.
Don’t forget the name tag.
The murdered jewish people were killed because they were jewish.
It is horrible that they would have their religion taken away after their deaths.
I would like them to stop too. But at the end of the day, the dead don’t care.
...stepping on their graves anyway.
I am of the opinion that as long as they are injring no one let stupid people do whatever keeps them amused. It keeps them busy from doing something even stupider.
Post-mortem babtisms are laughably ridiculous and should have been ignored
I just don’t get it.
The basic Bible teaching is of free will. You either chose Jesus God or not. While you are alive.
Why would someone praying or baptizing me after I die affect my free will choice to choose Christ or reject Him? How would that change my eternal resting place from heaven to hell or vice versa?
The miracle of Christianity is free will. God will never force a person to love Him or not. Or choose him or not.
The Mormon beliefs are so whack when analyzed that you just have to cringe.
Joseph Smith had a vision before he died to put Pentagrams on every Mormon Temple. To this day they are there. Very weird dude.
