Norm-
All you’ve done is point out the doctrine of ‘salvation’ for the dead and children. These are in contradiction to what you’ve already been saying - it has no bearing of a mormon wife of a gentile husband, nor single man, nor single woman.
Further you stated all those who are faithful to the gospel will be exalted - 137 address those without knowledge of the gospel.
I think you need to reevaluate your foundational principles. Mormonism (and you admit) requires that you perform specified works here to be exalted, one of which is marriage and sealing in the temple. Next you tell me that those things are not required, but that God is nice and will not penalize them. Yet your own doctrine is quite explicit in that God cannot save them in their sins - especially if they die in sin. Further there is nothing for single women or men - its got to be both or nothing.
You also ignore D&C 132, just a few sections before norm, which states -
“. . . he that abideth not this law (polygamy) can in no wise enter into my glory, but shall be damned, saith the Lord.” (D & C, 132:27)
“Go ye, therefore, and do the works of Abraham; enter ye into my law (polygamy) and ye shall be saved.” (D & C, 132:32)
It is not just one wife, but many that are required.
As I said before, other mormon leaders repudate your statements -
“If one is going to be . . . where God dwells in all his glory, one will be there as a husband or a wife and not otherwise. Regardless of his virtues, the single person, or the one married for this life only, cannot be exalted.” (S. W. Kimball, The Miracle of Forgiveness, p. 245)
Now, I believe it is safe to assume that Kimball is well versed in mormon doctrine and would have been able to articulate if single mormons could be exalted - in his broader understanding of mormon doctrine the answer is no.
So once again, who should I believe, Kimball or you on this point?
You have to realize that Spencer W. Kimball’s book, The Miracle of Forgiveness, was written for LDS members. He’s talking to people who know about the gospel and choose not to enter into all the covenants — i.e. they deliberately choose not to marry, or not to marry in the temple.
