The Mormons know that too. They suspect that if they baptize these people by proxy that they will be given the opportunity to accept the baptism or reject in in their present spiritual state. They also believe that if they do not do this ritual, that those people who are not baptized will not be entitled to whatever blessings accompany that baptism.
So it seems to me that if the LDS Church agreed to take certain people off the lists of those they intended to baptize, that the LDS would then be discriminating against those Jews who were taken off the list and they would be agreeing to deny those people the blessings that all other peoples are entitled to.
this is sinful righteousness and not the true service of God.
I agree that this ritual has no bliblical support and those people on behalf of whom this ritual is performed will not receive any benefit from it. But then nobody made me the President of the LDS Church, did they?
I don't know what religion you are, but be assured that if you are a Christian and you are not offending people by your Christianity, then your Christianity is not effective. The gospel is an offense to those who perish.
If nobody is offended by what I believe, then I don't believe the gospel.
