Posts Tagged ‘no marriages in heaven’

Matthew 22:30 ‘…they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.’

 Twenty-four years ago today, I asked Jesus to be my God and Savior! PTL! The list of questions I had rolling around in my head had become commonplace, and kept leading me back to the same subject.

The cross.

Not surprisingly, the Lord had an answer to all those questions and it can be found in just one verse. Matthew 22:30. If the Mormon people would read that verse and believe what Jesus said, the hordes of questions would quite simply disappear!

I’ve put some of the questions I had in a concise list here, and sadly, I’m still asking the Church the very same things I had been asking all those years ago.

Just how does a forever family fit in with our Lord’s gospel anyway?

I pray my people, the Mormons, will take a moment in their day to ask themselves the questions listed here. Mostly, I pray they’ll be convicted to do the same thing I was! I’m a sinner and found freedom at the foot of the cross.

When it comes to the Mormon’s idea of true salvation, there’s no room for the cross, nor is there room for the One that hung there. Therefore, we must ask the Mormons…

Where is Jesus?

In Christ;

Families are Forever – Really?

“In “The Family: A Proclamation to the World,” the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles proclaim that “marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for eternal destiny of His children.” When a man and woman are married in the temple, their family can be together forever. This is a common goal of Latter-day Saints…The covenant of eternal marriage is necessary for exaltation….After receiving the sealing ordinance and making sacred covenants in the temple, a couple must continue in faithfulness in order to receive the blessings of eternal marriage and exaltation.”

What is exaltation? 

 Encyclopedia of Mormonism, pg. 479; “It is available only in the highest degree of the Celestial Kingdom and is reserved for members of the Church of the Firstborn. This exalted status, called eternal life, is available to be received by a man and wife. It means not only living in God’s presence, but receiving power to do as God does, including the power to bear children after the resurrection (TPJS, pp. 300-301; D&C 132:19). Blessings and privileges of exaltation require unwavering faith, repentance, and complete obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
