Now lets actually address the Damning men to hell thing. The whole baptism for the Dead thing you guys condemn us for... Yeah, that, If anyone "Christian" or not lives the best he/she can and never has an opportunity to learn the Gospel and or have the ordinances of baptism, etc performed by the proper authority. Their work will be done in the Temple (the atonement being a vicarious work all Christians accept the principle of vicarious work) and they will have a chance to accept that work before the day of judgment, thus they could go to the celestial kingdom. There is a path left for all to get out of Damnation, that is Jesus way of doing things. Eagerly awaiting your posting the proof from the Bible that baptism for the dead is "Jesus' way of doing things"....
Jesus didn't come up with the scam that would keep mormon church coffers full by requiring "busy work" that "incidentally" was only allowed to be done by those who paid to buy the temple entry ticket.
Rather than a "way to get out of damnation", it's a pitiful example of how brain-washing affects Biblically ignorant folks.

Reading comprehension issues? Read what you bolded..."

Giving man a pathway out of damnation... that is Jesus' way of doing things? Do you need a scriptural reference for that? Anyone here know the definition of Atonement?...
Buheler?
Buheler?
Anyone?
OK, fine, now the Mormons can answer...

LOL, so do I need to give you a biblical reference for Tithing? (This is just funny) fine
Malachi 3:8-10
AS for requirements, it's a commandment to do the work, but you can do the work without a temple recommend, there are lots of Mormons who work on genealogy and extraction programs, no recommend required.

Yes, it's a sad thing to witness those who are ignorant, Biblically, historically, and culturally of Jesus' time.
Sad indeed, Baptism for the Dead is a Scripturally, archaeologically, and historically proven practice.
Do you need some links to
cumran or
Historical evidence for baptism for the dead? Wish granted!
greyfoxx39, I love you with the love of Christ which I bear, will you humble yourself before him and ask his forgiveness? If you do, will you ask him if it is his will for you to read the Book of Mormon, then wait in faith for his answer. If you will do this, I testify to you that you will receive both knowledge and forgiveness.
Go with God, better yet, go to God.
