***I know this will sound like a strawman question and answer, but I really want to find out, and none of these present day Calvinists will answer.

If God has already decided, before I was born, where I am going, after I die, WHY SHOULD I CHANGE WHAT I AM DOING NOW?***

It is your duty to bow your knee before your REAL maker, not some facade of a double mint twin commercial conceived in the mind of a false prophet. Hiding behind I was predestined does not excuse you from your actions or from straying after false gods.

Still, no one has yet answered “what is in it for me”, As you teach,I am predestined to go where I go, right, nothing I do will change where I go, right.

Thank you for illustrating at a very fundamental level that Mormon’s are not Christian. Christianity is not about “what’s in it for me.”

***As you teach,I am predestined to go where I go, right, nothing I do will change where I go, right.***

If the Lord knows your future and that future includes that you cease exaltation immediately upon death, what can you possibly do to change that knowledge in God? The answer, of course, is nothing. The only difference between the Lord predestining and simply knowing a future is that it makes the Lord nothing but a spectator to human suffering.
