You forgot what I told you quite some time ago that I was one of the major water dunkers in that fine place. A VACATION it was not. Worked 60, yes SIXTY hours a week.I WAS AND STILL AM PROUD OF MY PIONEER HERITAGE. It's the religion part that bothers me. And, I am very proud that I figured it all out at a very young age about fifty years ago.
On the other hand this nineteen year old farm boy from Utah learned a few more things, namely that there is more to life than bible pounding for religion, yes any religion including which ever one gets promoted here on FR.
ORGANIZED RELIGION=$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
and if one cannot figure this out they will continue with sanctimonious BOSOM BURNING (read emotion) proselyting that gets extremely tiresome. In my opinion folks who attempt to ascend in any religion do it because of failure to ascend in other arenas.
Says the ‘lady’ that just LOVES to imply we Christians are PIGS!

It is impossible to walk the walk of Jesus Christ and be a jerk at the same time. Either Jesus is on their mind or being a jerk in on their mind.
I know many wonderful amazing Christians
I guess so if youre a mormon...but only the elect who are full tithe payers are permitted temple recommends. So in essence, what mormons are saying is this; not only are our temple rites sacred [read - SECRET], you need these to attain celestial exaltation [not the same as salvation], and in order to get these rites performed, one must be part of the elect.
No thanks.
*********************************************************** Bears repeating. Thanks, SZonian
Here is the temple ceremony that you are being told "one doesn't talk about"...
IZZAT so?
What say ye about #462
Still
And, apparently, you'll be spending eternity with them if you have no TR.
(Unless, of course, Brigham is RIGHT in warning you of your up and coming Damnation.)
How does this statement account for 75,000 mormon missionaries going about the world trespassing on the properties of Christians and telling them their Christian faith is bogus and the only path to salvation is through arcane rituals in mormon temples?
These missionaries are not preaching "unison" but attempting to divide the Christian faith with their lies.

Islam is NOT a religion. Its a socio-political-economic system which is also a death cult. And I don;t give a ticker’s damn about any one Muslim or group of Muslims thinks about my opinion. Its based on a study of Islamic history and current events.
why do you say this?
Its a socio-political-economic system which is also a death cult.
The same can be said about Judism before Christ.
Judaism was NEVER a death cult. Read about Islam Mohammad and the Koran.
Judaism NEVER preached world conversion by the sword - Islam does. Judaism never taught total intolerance of all other religions - Islam does.
Islam murdered more Human Beings than any other movement in history.
No they do not
The lds gods were once a man
The curtain was torn so there would be NO more secrets
The lds “temples” are secret and unBiblical

Happy New Years
that is your opinion what it means
Happy New Years
Again all your post are your assumptions just make things up as you go along ...
Jesus had the same situation with the opposition always contending and arguing unable to receive...
Thank goodness it is not like that through all Christendom..
John 8
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Thanks, but all I’m looking for are the Biblical verses that define and outline the temple rites as performed in LDS temples and their importance/significance to one’s SALVATION, not exaltation as taught by mormon doctrine, but SALVATION.
Again, from the Bible...
Thank you.
The Christian Jesus is not comparable to Joseph Smith even though mormons insist on trying to proclaim it.
God is in the still small voice. In all these affidavits, indictments, it is all of the devil--all corruption. Come on! ye prosecutors! ye false swearers! All hell, boil over! Ye burning mountains, roll down your lava! for I will come out on the top at last. I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet.
Maybe Smith was just talking about the mormon Jesus, not the real one.

Thank you for you patience I am still working on it...
On my 18 year quest for answers and truth the Bible has always been my benchmark!

In all honesty should not the GOAL BE SEEKING TRUTH NO MATTER WHERE IT LEADS OR FALLS?
Happy New Years,
Matthew 27:51 KJV
And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent.
Mark 15:37-39
And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last.
And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
Tell me then why did the curtain tear from the TOP to the BOTTOM?
So that no man could say, a man did that. I was from God, revealing the temple - IE no more secrets.
Didn’t I cross that out?
One of them is still a vapor!
It's sure no secret what Resty's FATE is!!!
If BY can be BELIEVED...
