Considering the Mormon church didn't...
...even build temples for necro purposes until after 1840...
...and didn't have an "endowment house" until 1855...
...and didn't have a temple outside of Utah until late 1919...
...they've been accelerating their big-time focus on the dead!
I read some on Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. I ended up shaking my head. Cults are really something else, aren't they?
Jesus was called a madman, saying He was God. Lots of looney-tunes say that but they go forward and say/do looney-tune things. Jesus taught in parables and performed miracles. Raising Lazarus HAD to be the end of all miracles...until Jesus Himself rose from the dead.
