What about it? The statement was made that a husband could prevent a wife from being resurrected. I stated that such is not the case.
Latter-day Saint doctrine is that every person who has lived and died -- man, woman, or child -- will be resurrected. It is a free and unconditional gift to all because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and cannot be withheld by a spouse, other family members, friends, or anyone else.
If we cannot agree on such a simple and straightforward doctrine, there is little point talking about what happens after the resurrection.
Well, most folks are interested in what happens "after resurrection".
I said in my post 41: "BUT..."But obedience to the commandments of God is requisite if one is to be resurrected with a celestial body. Laws leading to celestial glory will be discussed at this conference. Our challenge is to learn them and abide by them."
...pointing out with source the fact that what non-mormons might consider "resurrection" is quite different from "being resurrected with a celestial body", which can ONLY be done according to mormon doctrine by meeting certain conditions.
Your statement "Latter-day Saint doctrine is that every person who has lived and died -- man, woman, or child -- will be resurrected. It is a free and unconditional gift to all because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and cannot be withheld by a spouse, other family members, friends, or anyone else." completely skirts the issue that according to mormon doctrine the "free and unconditional gift to all because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ," is not enough for a soul to make it into the mormon "heaven".
If you are going to post "milk" be prepared to have a little "meat" served alongside it. I didn't even mention that mormons believe Atonement" happened in Gethsemane rather than on the Cross.

She does need him (or did) to call her forth to the Celestial Kingdom. Back to the Temple endowment. And I know many LDS men who hold that over their wives head.
Also, FWIW, Sandra Tanner’s sources and writings are impeccable and better than many LDS authors. I have vetted the Tanners sources myself.
