I type what’s in my heart. My heart is occupied by the Savior Jesus Christ.
Oh?
Then how is it possible that you have made room for MORMONism as well?

1 Samuel 5:1-5
After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. Then they carried the ark into Dagons temple and set it beside Dagon. When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained. That is why to this day neither the priests of Dagon nor any others who enter Dagons temple at Ashdod step on the threshold.
Saundra, I know this post will tread upon emotional ground...and if you don't want "to go there" -- please just don't respond to this post.
I know who also has been "on your heart" for quite some time...your two little boys, who moved on to the afterlife.
Now I don't know the timing of your conversion to Mormonism, but IF it occurred after your loss, then it seems understandable as to why you would hanker after the false gospel of Mormonism...and that is (a) the family is forever angle; and (b) Baptisms for the dead.
ALL: If this is even a sub-conscious angle for Saundra, then all the intellectual arguments in the world can't compete with this underlying emotional tie.
The bottom line is: The Mormon 'gospel' of 'family is forever' doesn't even "kick in" for Mormons unless ALL -- as in generation after generation after generation...including ALL the 'in-laws' & extended relatives...prove to be "temple worthy" qualified as such...
In stark contrast, the true Gospel of Jesus Christ expands the "family unit" in Heavenly Father's presence...we're ALL one big family...vs. making mere men as competing 'patriarchs' of our Father in Heaven!
