Colofornia .... Hey How’s the purveyance of Religious Biggotry going?
Yes, LSD (Mormons) believe that families are forever. And Yes, we believe that to be acceptable in the afterlife, Jesus Christ requested that all marraiges be solemnized by proxy in LDS Temples.
And yes, Colofornian, it’s very likely that at some time your mairrage (presuming you are married) will be performed by proxy in the LDS temple.
But don’t worry too much about it. If we are right, and God did really ask for this ordinace to be done for all of his children, then all you have to do is tell him “No”, I don’t want to live with you in the Celestial Kingdom, and I don’t want to live with my earthly spouse ever again!
If in fact the LDS church is as you say...a fraud, then all it means is that a lot of LDS members have been spending time worshiping God at temples and doing what they believe is his work instead of eating popcorn and watching movies.
So, you admit to beyond knowing-Jesus/God-as eternal life, which Jesus Himself said it was ("Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent")...
...Mormons have added a monopolistic religious ritual...
...in a facility not readily accessible by 90-95% of the world (& in previous generations, almost 100%...and pre 1840s, 100% of the world)...
...is that what you're claiming?
Jesus isn't the ONLY WAY to the Father? (John 14:6) The Mormon temple is now?
(Btw, are you intolerant of my religious expressions on these threads?)
So the following ritualistic assembly line is what you label as "worship?"
Latayne Colvett Scott wrote about her experiences in the Mormon temple as a Mormon teen (The Mormon Mirage: A Former Mormon Tells Why She Left the Church, Zondervan, 1979, p. 194):
"When my name was called, I went down into the water. The baptizing elder turned me around so that he could see a large screen, something like an electric football scoreboard, which he looked at over my shoulder. On top of the screen was my name, and below it a name I don't remember, but which I'll say was Elizabeth Anderson. 'Sister Celeste Latayne Colvett,' he said, looking at the screen, 'having been commissioned of Jesus Christ, I baptize you, for and in behalf of Elizabeth Anderson, who is dead, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.' Then he quickly dropped his right arm from the square and lowered me beneath the water. As I was regaining my footing (you learn after the third or fourth time to put one foot slightly behind the other to help you get back out of the water) he had already begun the same prayer, inserting this time the name of another dead woman which had flashed onto the screen behind me. Fifteen consecutive baptisms were performed with me as proxy in a matter of about three minutes. As I left the font, another proxy was preparing to be baptized. Then I was led into a 'confirmation room' where a man sat on a high stool with a chair near his knees. I sat on the chair, my back to him, and he and several other elders placed heir hands heavily upon my head while he pronounced this prayer: 'Sister Celeste Latayne Colvett, in the name of Jesus Christ, we lay our hands upon your head for and in behalf of Elizabeth Anderson, who is dead, and confirm you a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints..."
The former Mormon added on the next page:
"A Christian in looking at this doctrine that a person can accept Christ after death will want to know how Mormons explain the story of the rich man and Lazarus as found in Luke 16:19-26." (p. 195)
You worship a false god of flesh and bone who has sex with a legion of goddesses. Watching action movies with sexual content would probably be a lesser sin, insomuch that you keep the perversion secular.
Actually, Jesus said this in Matthew 22:29
29 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
Paul warns us of this...
Galatians 1-6-9
No Other Gospel 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.
Careful, Teppe. If you preach another gospel, you will be cursed!!!!!

Many different people believe many different things.
Which ones are RIGHT matters.
Romans 10:2
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
