September 15 – Mark 12:23-25 “In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.”

Polygamous Families are Forever Plan Rejected by God

Doctrines of Salvation 2:67; “FAMILY UNIT CONTINUES ONLY IN CELESTIAL KINGDOM…We believe that the family will go on. I get a great deal of comfort out of the thought that if I am faithful and worthy of an exaltation, my father will be my father, and I will be subject to him as his son through all eternity; that I will recognize and know my mother and she will be my mother in all eternity; and my brothers and sisters will be my brothers and sisters for all eternity; and that my children and my wives will be mine in eternity. I don’t know how some other people feel, but that is a glorious thought to me. That helps to keep me sober.” – Joseph Fielding Smith

Mormon Elohim, Canaanite Sex Gods Compared
Posted in Mormon god, tagged Canaanite sex gods, false apostle, families are forever, John A Widtsoe, Rational Theology on 02/06/2017| Leave a Comment »
Isaiah 45:5; “I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me.”
The well known Mormon phrase ‘families are forever’ has been a mantra of those in the Church for generations now. Most members, however, aren’t aware their heavenly father is a remake of the ancient Canaanite sex gods we read about in the Bible.
While visiting another website a couple of weeks ago, Melissa took a double take at the conversation posted on their site. They were discussing a book written by the late apostle, John A. Widtsoe titled ‘Rational Theology’. Mr. Widtsoe left little to the imagination in his interpretation of whom they worship.
October 2016 Visiting Teaching Message
Posted in Visiting Teaching, tagged false apostles of Mormonism, families are forever, L. Tom Perry, the Fall on 10/02/2016| 11 Comments »
This month’s message teaches us about the importance of eternal families, the role they will play in eternity, and touches on how The Fall made it all come together.
Mormons are all about the earthly, biological family we all have, and keeping those families intact throughout eternity. “Families are Forever” is one saying they like to use to reel people into the Church, because if the Church is all about the family then it must be approved of by God, right?

Motherhood Mandatory for Salvation

Conference Report, October 1942, p. 12-13; “PARENTHOOD…Amongst His earliest commands to Adam and Eve, the Lord said: “Multiply and replenish the earth.” He has repeated that command in our day…His people should marry only in His temple in accordance with such ordinances.
The Lord has told us that it is the duty of every husband and wife to obey the command given to Adam to multiply and replenish the earth, so that the legions of choice spirits waiting for their tabernacles of flesh may come here and move forward under God’s great design to become perfect souls, for without these fleshly tabernacles they cannot progress to their God-planned destiny…
By bringing these choice spirits to earth, each father and each mother assume towards the tabernacled spirit and towards the Lord Himself by having taken advantage of the opportunity He offered, an obligation of the most sacred kind…
No parent can escape that obligation and that responsibility, and for the proper meeting thereof, the Lord will hold us to a strict accountability…
Motherhood thus becomes a holy calling, a sacred dedication for carrying out the Lord’s plans…

Can ‘Immortal Beings’ Multiply?
Posted in Mormon Dilemmas, tagged false prophets of Mormonism, families are forever, Journal of Discourses, Orson Pratt on 05/17/2015| Leave a Comment »
Journal of Discourses 14:244-245; “Perhaps you may think that Brother Pratt is rather enthusiastic and fanatical in his ideas to suppose that
immortal beings can multiply; but I would ask any person who has read the first and second chapters of Genesis if the command which was first given to multiply was not given to two immortal beings who had not yet fallen? If, therefore, two immortal beings, were then commanded to multiply, why should it be thought incredible that immortal beings who are raised from the grave and restored to all that which Adam and his wife possessed before the Fall, should have the power to do the same?” — Orson Pratt, Salt Lake City, August 20, 1871

Mormon Temples Separate Families
Posted in Mormon Dilemmas, tagged bible, cult, false doctrines of Mormonism, families are forever, J. Richard Clarke, Jesus, Mormon temples, New Era April 1993 on 01/02/2015| 3 Comments »
New Era, ‘The Temple What It Means To You,’ April 1993;
“Temple ordinances are valid for eternity…
One sweet LDS girl was asked by her father to postpone her marriage in the temple so he could provide a lavish wedding in a large church that all his friends could attend. She said, “Daddy, I can’t do as you ask. I have seen how you and Mom have loved each other, and yet you have not married in the temple. I made up my mind as a little girl that I would be married to my husband for eternity and not just for this life. You have had my whole lifetime to prepare to go to the temple with me, and you have not done so. I’m sorry, but I must do what I believe to be right.”…
