Yet nobody is kicked out of the church for not having a temple recommend, that is voluntary too, and once a person gets their endowments they are not excommunicated or have their temple blessings revoked for just stopping paying tithing. Likewise, there are members who are currently unable to get a recommend due to an addiction or some sins that have to dealt with who still pay tithing, recognizing that it is a commandment of God.
BTW: a prosperous church is in a way better position to save more souls than a broke one.
Well, it’s been fun. I need a little refresher now and then on just how far gone you all are.
Rest assured that faithful Mormons will carry on doing all the things you hate them doing. Paying their tithing, going to temples, serving missions, sharing the gospel with others. The church will continue to grow and prosper in many ways, and the man-made religions of the world will continue to fall into greater and greater error or crumble away to dust.
I hope when you see that happening you’ll at some point start to consider that perhaps you were wrong and become sincere seekers of truth instead of trying to tell me what I believe as if you were the experts. I really do hope God soften your heart and if the day comes when you see the light I’ll rejoice with you, no hard feelings.
I didn’t mention anything about being kicked out of the church.
I said they’re “prevented” from dwelling in the celestial kingdom.
Isn’t that the “ultimate” goal in mormonism? Live with the mormon god and jesus?
How then can that be attained without a temple recommend?
Simple, it can’t. They are consigned to one of the lower “kingdoms”. Only getting “visits” from jesus, but never god since he will not venture out of perfection.
Really? Do you honestly believe that $$ makes the difference in whether or not a person can be saved?
May as well; since they get 'kicked out' of the highest level of MORMON heaven.
Name it and Claim it!

Try telling that one to the LORD Jesus Christ
He was poor as a church mouse
Foxes and birds were richer than He was
“The Son of man has nowhere to lay His head...” Matthew 8:20
Try telling that one to the disciples that the LORD Jesus Christ sent out
These were His instructions: “Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts.” He allowed them to wear sandals but not to take a change of clothes. Mark 6:8, 9
Paul and John had no money, nor gold or silver but Paul laid his hands on a crippled man in the Name ofr Jesus and he was healed
The Name of Jesus is the richest commodity Heaven has..
Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Acts 3:6
No theres no need of money to preach the Gospel and get people saved and the so called “church” doesnt do the saving
The LORD Jesus Christ does...
All people do is preach the Gospel...
That doesnt take money
That takes a belief in the LORD Jesus Christ..
If your religious organization is collecting money its not to get people saved...
Its just because they are greedy for gain and filthy lucre...
