Yes I think it was, an almost mythical world of beauty and enchantment.

Sadly Starfleet had to put it under quarantine like Talos IV. Personnel that beamed down came back almost in a trance murmuring something about the gods and their prophets and immediately tried to drive in pairs off the shuttle deck on replicated 20th century bicycles...

Jesus only preached to Israel in His ministry. Rightly dividing the scriptures comes into play here.

These same folks WANT to follow LAW that was given to JEWS: only.

However; I'll bet they would BALK at driving their cars at the JERUSALEM speed lkimit!

the LDS place their faith in ‘the Church’ rather than Christ.

“There IS NOT TELESTIAL KINGDOM! Give me a bible verse that says there is.”

Paul spoke of levels of Heaven.

“Ontological dimension”? This writer is love with the sound of his own voice, and is maybe having a torrid affair with his thesaurus on the side. There’s no need for all this high-falootin’ analysis on what is a very straightforward Biblical account.

AND I AM YELLING BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THINGS IN BIG LETTERS TO GET THE POINT!

I do it because SOME folks won't be able to say, later, that, "I never kneww about that!"

Eph 5:23     For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
 
 
1Cr 12:12    The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ.
 
 
1Cr 12:27     Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

Any good upstanding righteous Christian would never dream of NOT tithing

- - - - -
NONSENSE. I don’t know any Christian who limits their giving to just 10% (tithing). Furthermore, it is not compulsory in the least, we are under grace, NOT the Law.

God doesn’t need our money, He wants our offerings.

And NO GOOD UPSTANDING CHRISTIAN PASTOR would ‘check’ their members giving with a ‘tithing settlement’.

If it’s a REQUIREMENT for going to the celestial kingdom, that’s God’s call, not mine and not yours.

- - - - -
But it isn’t a REQUIREMENT to get back into the Presence of God (LDS CK).

It is a requirement YOUR CHURCH makes, not God.

Epic fail.

There are myriad of churches you need to avoid. I heard so many sermons about tithing in the pentecostal, evangelical and baptist churches I have attended in the past.

Name them and what they actually said. Again your professions "where I used to attend" is really suspect.

One of the top tactics of satan is to create doubt of the authenticity of the Bible....and elevate another source of counterfeit truth above it. Again..satan waves his banner ...”Mission Accomplished” over the heart and minds of LDS/Mormons.

We can only "soldier on" in trying to keep others from falling into the trap, and thank God for the ones for whom we have been instrumental in helping escape.

No Sandy - God is Perfect, Jesus Christ is Perfect the Holy Ghost is Perfect, the Three in One are Perfect.
The church is people and they are not perfect.
