I don`t think there is any law that says she has to stay with the Mormon Church, if she don`t like it why didn’t she just leave?
On the other hand if she is a Mormon by being married to a Mormon man, then she should do what Paul told her to do which is just keep her mouth shut.
True, but like most agitators, they seek to change religions from within towards a more “progressive” position. I’m not a fan of agitators, especially in this sense, anti-Biblical. I’m no fan of LDS doctrine or teachings, but this woman is clearly agitating within the LDS. I don’t like it when Presby’s, Catholics, Episki’s, etc. do it, and I don’t like this either, even though it’s the LDS.
However, if the church has rules they’re supposed to follow with regards to discipline and possible ex-communication, then they should.
Otherwise, they undermine and compromise their own credibility. In addition, as the author pointed out, many of these regulations are confidential to all except the few who are in a position of authority. Very legalistic and exclusionary.
No spouse becomes a member simply through marriage...one has to take the “lessons”, request baptism and confirmation as member in order to gain membership into the LDS. However, there can be pressure applied to the non-member through emotional appeals to encourage them to join. They will use the “Families are forever” position and the potential guilt of having their spouse “married” to others once they are able to attain the Celestial Kingdom. There is also the temple wedding exclusion as well.
Any family member who does not hold a temple recommend is barred from attending the ceremony. So this becomes an “incentive” to join, so as not to miss out on significant family events. This is done via home teachers, visiting teachers, missionary visits, etc.
1. Paul was a Christian not a Mormon
2 Paul was speaking to Christians not Mormons
2. Paul never said that women could not teach or preach in church or lay hands on the sick, or pray for anyone ...
3 Paul also told 12 year old boys to obey their mothers...Mormons have 12 year old boys lording it over all women including their own mothers
What would you do if your 12 year old son tried giving you or your wife orders backed up by the Mormon CEOs in Salt Lake City ???
that priesthood thingy in Mormonism is given to 12 year old boys along with authority to rule over grown women...
theres another difference with Christianity..
when the LORD Jesus Christ was 12 He obeyed his mother and father..
He was a grown man before He was given any authority and all of His Earthly life He was kind and courteous to His mother the Virgin Mary...
but not in Mormonism
12 year old boys are taught that they rule over all women...
because their priesthood idiocy gives them that so called “right”
I don't think there was any "law" that Martin Luther had to remain in "THE" church, either. Just because Luther saw abuses and a need for a reformation didn't equate to him starting a new church. He never sought to do that, and still considered himself part of the Church Universal.
('Twas his "Lutheran" adherents who deemed it to be a "separate" church after Luther's death)
