Having Trouble with Our Practices

[NormalMormon]

I can't remember which General Authority said it, (I was working today and listening to both sessions on the radio and there was too much info to take notes) but one of them said that salvation is an individual matter but exaltation is a family matter.

We will be granted the kingdom that we have worked to earn. We will be judged by our works and desires. If one does not want to ever get married in the temple or obey the word of wisdom or get baptized, etc. we will be given according to our desire. When we die we will continue on the same path that we blazed in life.

Hell is just that temporary post-mortal place in spirit prison where people will await the resurrection, however in a metaphorical sense hell and damnation is simply the ceasing or stopping (being literally damned) of ever receiving an eternal increase found only with exaltation. Man cannot be exalted without woman and vice versa. Hence exaltation being a family matter as was said today in General Conference.

I've thought more about your concern with equality and why women can't hold the priesthood. I honestly don't have a suitable answer because the Lord hasn't given us that reason, as far as I can tell, but in my estimation, there is no feminism in God's kingdom...or chauvinism, racism, etc. etc.

Isa. 55: 8-9

8 ¶ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

He he, so you're equating feminism with racism and chauvinism? I'm sure that's not what you meant, but you worded it that way! Ha ha.

Um...eeks it does sound that way, huh? I'm sorry, and you're right, it is not what I meant. it does look bad. Thank you for seeing what I really meant, though.

Let me shed some LIGHT!!!

LDS is not a true religion. Some jack off named Joseph Smith decided to start his own religion. This alone should help answer why you have so many questions. The christian religion has 1 question and that always resorts back to 'Faith'.

If you are wondering why I am wasting my time registering and responding on your cult religion and site it has to do with Texas and the fact that I figured I would kill a few hours wasting my time. Shouldn't matter too much seeing as how all LDS have wasted their entire lifes following a self-created religion just as Warren Jeff's decided to create an alternate version of an LDS cult on his own.

You may all see this as evil because of what he is accused of but us normal citizens see LDS as a whole as a cult and a self-made religion by your man Joseph Smith. Joseph created this cult and all of you follow with no thoughts of your own.

Enjoy Your Cult Life - LDS Children, from the same seeds of Warren Jeffs...
