What about the billions of people who have lived on this earth and never even heard of Christ? What happens to them? This is what the doctrine and ordinance is for, baptism by proxy for them. You may not agree with it, but it’s one of the main reason we build temples, to do that work for them, to fulfill the commandment that all men must be baptized in the name of Christ to return to the Father.

Wither they except the ordinance on the other side is up to them. That’s the basics of the reason we do it.

Now, back to the thread subject. It’s not the reasons the FLDS build temples. Apparently, their reason is to put consummation beds in them. sigh...

If you believe it is a necessary concern, then have at it. As I said, I believe that God is aware of, and takes into account, the fact that certain people have not heard of Christ and my belief in a just God means he will look after then in whatever manner is right. As I said before, I believe God judges us based on ourselves, not on what other men do.

Thank you for merely pointing out another thing you believe in that I do not.
