However it is a cult business, ‘packaged today to sell’ to the uninformed and those seeking God, in order to ease the money out of the pockets who join to keep the organizations investment leadership investing...and they do just that in volume! Not to mention a very comfortable lifestyle. And as all businesses must do changing and evolving to accommodate the times and culture as it is in each era.
Throwing in the tenets of Christianity to make members believe they are serving God and making the levels of advancement steep enough and lengthy in time to keep the people occupied doing their “Christian Duty” while raping their pocket books. Now that is the business end.
Spiritually they give them a “new bible” to make them feel special they were chosen...lots of “rituals” to make them feel worthy of being chosen...”mission” work to give them purpose...and to top it off an “assignment” to locate all dead family members and friends and have them baptized via surrogate... in a sauna pool surrounded with oxen to make it also “special”. All to feed the feelings and offer experiences which might make them feel superior and holy.
It is all hogwash and a brazen insult to Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. It is an occultic counterfeit Christianity and it's leadership are schishters in every sense of the word. It's entities are deceptive and demonic and it's Christ a complete impostor.
Jesus many many times warned of these and showed us clearly how to determine cults and the deceptions which Gods arch enemy uses....Mormonism lies in the face of Gods Word and in doing so lies to the face of God. And we know who the Father of lies is.
May God in His great mercy rescue those in the Latter-Day-Saints stronghold and bring them out to His saving grace and life thru the true and living Christ Jesus...Amen
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us
to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and
preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering
of God waited in the days of Noah ...” (1 Peter 3:18-20)
For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged
according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. (1 Peter 4:6)
It’s amazing that Jesus preached also to the spirits of the disobedient. Appearantly we can repent
and accept Jesus even after death. All is not lost for those who lived without Jesus in their lives.
But there is a problem; how can they be baptized? For Jesus said that
“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
(Mark 16:16)
and
“... Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” (John 3:5)
The solution to this problem is vicarious baptisms, where the living are baptized for the dead.
This was a common practice amoung the early saints. St. Paul tells us about it in the Bible.
“Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are
they then baptized for the dead? (1 Cor. 15:29)
We know this was a common practice because Paul didn’t have to justify it, but rather, he justified
the rising of the dead by the vicarious baptisms. Clearly, St. Paul and the Corinthians considered
the practice of baptisms for the dead to be a normal part of the Gospel, otherwise there would have
been no justification in St. Paul’s argument.
Where do we see this practice today? Which Christian church loves the dead enough to be baptized
for them? As far as I know, all of Christianity simply ignore the dead. All except The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons).
Amen
