Who changed my "reward"?I never could keep that straight! Outer darkenss, hell...what is the difference?
although first I would like to know how it is possible to be in heaven but never be in the presence of God. For Christians, heaven = presence of God. It's unfathomable!
Could somebdy walk me through this? OK, let's say I convert today. I am too old to have children, even if I leave my Christian husband and marry a temple Mormon, although who would have me since I'm infertile?
But let's say I stay single and devoted to the LDS church. No temple stuff for me because I'm unworthy (I think, is it possible to become worthy in my circumstances?)
and would I have to tithe?
Let's say no but I "do all that I can"
What happens when I die? Do I go to spirit prison or the tellestial kingdon?
You’re not in “heaven” in the Biblical sense, you’re either in the spirit prison, or one of the “lesser kingdoms”.
Why? Because you didn’t work hard enough, go to enough temple sessions, dunk enough dead “bodies”, convert enough people, pay enough tithing, etc.
Salvation is one thing in mormonism that does NOT guarantee any righteous people the reward of dwelling with God in heaven. Only devout, worthy mormons who did all of the above, [but have no way of knowing if they ever did enough] are promised the chance to dwell with God in the celestial kingdom. They call this exaltation, a form of salvation, but a much higher degree.
Oh, and those in the celestial kingdom get to go down to the lesser kingdoms and visit, but Christ doesn’t sully Himself with those of lesser rewards.
Sick, sick, sick. They’re definition of “saved by grace” is much different than that of Christians and the results of said salvation are way different.
