I think you misunderstood my comments. I was trying to put a point to the fallacy of the practice of baptizing for the dead. It is an abomination in so many ways. But it is just a ritual that has no real meaning to those who are not Mormon (and never were nor will be).
It isn’t like the Mormons can undo or take away a person’s non-Mormon faith. Those deceased Jews are either in Heaven or Hell, based upon their faith, not upon what some Mormon has done posthumously.
We know that, in fact, I coined the term “Coffee Can” Conversions, as the vessel has been emptied.
No spirit, no person. Just an empty body, much in the same way you use all the coffee in a can.
I usually make the statement you are replying to, for the edification and illumination to others.
Personally, I couldn’t care less about their Coffee Can Conversions.
They have no effect.
If one wanted to know the Lord and walk in his spirit, the time for that has passed and a lifeless body has no agency or a scintilla of sentience.
One only need become a Christian while living and your faith isn’t going to be the determinant to God. Doesn’t matter if you are Jewish, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian(Oh no!), etc.
God’s only concern is your intent.
Everything else violates the prime directive and no one messes with God.
LDS will tell you “Don’t you think everyone should have the opportunity to know the Lord?, to which I say “That time has passed and your prayers have no effect except for assuaging the pain of the living.
For the Dead Cannot Cross the Great Divide(Luke 16:19-31)
I agree with what you are saying but, let me reiterate what I said:
It is an insult to the living and no one has the right the append your life history.
