Eternal Marriage

[sonsofmosiah]

I found my perfect soul mate! She wasn't a member so I left the church! We're very happy together! I'm so happy to be free of Mormonism!!!

[Bureyeanne]

@sonsofmosiah You must not have been much of a member if you use the false term like "Mormonism". Also the idea of a "sole mate" isn't true doctrine either. Even so, J. Golden Kimbal comes to mind, "Why don't you go to hell? You won't find any Mormons there.".

[FastbackJon]

Matthew 22 clearly states there is no marriage after death.

[Bureyeanne]

@FastbackJon # Same book, same speaker 4 chapters back.

Matthew 18:18

Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

The key is that eternal marriage can only happen on earth and NOT in Heaven. Thus they are not given in marriage or (to be married in heaven). 

[blackoutninja]

I seriously don't get why so many churches today love this idea that marriage ends at death. what is there about it to love? I'm not a mormon and they teach some things that I disagree with, but I'm glad to see that someone has some sense out here. the church needs to stop teaching that marriage is a temporary earthly union and embrace the truth of the everlasting bond between husband and wife. (eccl. 3:14, song of songs 8:6, matt 18:18)

Peace

God bless.

[Bureyeanne]

@blackoutninja

Yep the church left in the wrong hands as prophesied.

Amos 8:11

¶Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:

[PS6577]

If your spouse dies, are you not allowed to get re-married if you're a Mormon. If you can, then who will you spend eternity with, your first husband or your second. We won't need a spouse in heaven, we will only need God.

[Bureyeanne]

@PS6577 Matt. 18: 18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

The above comment is not correct. LDS folks can and do get remarried. However they usually are not married for eternity in the case of the preceding marriages.

[dominichester77]

Hey guys I got some info that only one third of the total membership of the Church will receive Eternal Life in the highest degree of Celestial Glory. Is that true because that isn't much at all. That just seems so unjust for a loving Heavenly Father to deny the greatest blessings available to such a large number of people. But what do you think?

[Bureyeanne]

@dominichester77

I'm not sure your source for that info. I believe it was Joseph Feilding Smith who married a couple one from the 15th century and one from the 13th century who requested in person to be married. I will have to fact check that story, but the point is things like that can be dealt with in due time.

[dominichester77]

Yeah I read a book called "Life everlasting" this is where I got my information so not technically church doctrine but there is alot of stuff in there from the apostles. To have the chance to do something in this life is what I understand opportunity to mean. There are lots of people through no fault of there own who will never be able to marry in this life they will have that blessing during the Millenium.

[dominichester77]

Proxy work can only be of efficacy and force if the people that are having the work done for them did not have the opportunity in this life to do it for theirselves. If they did have the opportunity and chose to not do it then proxy work will not avail them any good. I have it on authority that this is correct. But what say you?

[Bureyeanne]

@dominichester77 What do you mean by opportunity? It is kind of like those who deny Christ, damning their soles forever. Except that only in for those how do so after a perfect knowledge. In that vain, opportunity would be those offered, understood and believed the covenant of Eternal Marriage and choose not to follow through.

[whoopiddydo]

anyone know the music in the background playing?

[Bureyeanne]

I I recall from years ago, I put in the last segment from soundtrack, "My Life". It the music I think where the main character ascends to heaven. It is written by John Berry if I recall as well.

[celestialamor2007]

exelente el señor les bendiga

[Bureyeanne]

@celestialamor2007

Lo siento por no tener una versión en español.

[DefendingMormonism]

Excellent.

[tnfellow]

what was Jesus talking about in Matthew 22: 24-34, and Proverbs 19:9

Jesus is in a discussion and says "..

[Bureyeanne]

Jesus was referring to the act of marriage, not marriage it's self. So He was saying that people don't get married in Heaven. That they were foolish for asking for only one man was "Sealed" for Eternity as opposed to all other men who were just married for this life.

Consider additionally the words of Jesus on this matter.

Matt. 18: 18

Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

[Bureyeanne]

My point in posting this is not to upset, anger, debate or annoy. I am simply pointing that a marriage for time on earth is simply not as good as an Eternal Marriage. All marriage is ordained of God. It is just that it may be some time until "death do us part marriages" made to be everlasting.

[Yunginspirit]

Bureyeanne: And also, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Temple marriages (also baptisms and endowments) are done on earth and the people concerned go thru a similar ceremony performed in holy temples in the spirit world. Thus the pair accept the proxy marriage (or other ordinance work) done on earth and it becomes binding.and eternal. Hense Matt 18:18.

Blessings

[ldsdemoiselle]

I´m new in this and I´m trying to understand and convert my self to this principle and doctrine... Specially because everything around me (and around my family) try to convice me that "marriage is exactly the opposite to the Plan" and I really want to believe in My Heavenly Father´s Plan... And this video helps... Thnx a lot!

[Bureyeanne]

This might get you going on the right path.

"Eternal" is one of the names of God. It is who he is, what he is. Thus an Eternal Marriage is the Marriage of God.

[ldsdemoiselle]

Hey guy!!!

this is awsome... and pretty sweet... I recognize my own desires in what you express!!!

[Bureyeanne]

Thanks for putting this video in your favorites.

All the grandeur of the worlds biggest weddings do not amount to the sealing power of an Eternal Marriage.

[lamanitish]

DEAR bUREYEANEE:

I LOVE YOUR PRESENTATION. HOPEFULLY MAN WILL SEE IT.

[ajbfamily]

I have the calling in my ward to teach Marriage and family Relations, this is a beautiful video, Well done. In a short message you shared an "Eternal Principle with a Promise". Thank You Terri Alice

[Bureyeanne]

Terri,

The month I made this Life Mag featured the 10 ten grandest weddings of the 20th century. All those weddings ended abruptly, or were a complete parade without substance. It then occurred to me that what makes a wedding isn't the pomp an circumstance's but the content of the quality of the commitments. I'm told the Temple ceremony is only about 215 words. Hardly much of a ceremony. But the commitment is for all time and eternity.

[EverASurprise]

That was beautiful.

[Bureyeanne]

I have made about 20 other LDS shorts videos. However this is prehaps the most somber and reverent. they are on a play list on my channel.

And thanks for favoriting this video. I spent some time working from dozens of sources.

[EverASurprise]

Is that your voice narrating?

[Bureyeanne]

Yes. Although I have several college level acting classes under my belt including directing I still would have rather a voice actor to have done the voice. Would you believe the voice over is based on an advertisement for diamond rings? The last 3 or 4 lines are mine but the rest were wedding substituted with ring. I made the above shortly before I was married for a ward activity. It was later played for the whole stake.

[EverASurprise]

Well it is very good!

[Bureyeanne]

thanks before I finished the video I cut the line, "In light there is Glory, in light there is God." I kind of felt it didn't fit for the video. I had a very strong nagging feeling that it needed to go back in. As soon as I put it back in that feeling went away. I haven't made any lds videos lately but now with youtube I feel I must just to keep the content somewhat honest and positive.

[EverASurprise]

I think it fits well, especially when you continue on and talk of the light in the temple.

[Guai4life]

NO LATTER DAY SAINTS DO NOT** consumate their wedding vows on the alter (in the Temple).

[Bureyeanne]

There are a lot of lies printed about the church. I probably should have deleted the offending comments. One thing you will not see in anti materials is the fact there is no payed clergy. For those who publish such slander know if word got out they would be out of a very cushy job.

[jamsax87]

Question, Bureyeanne...what is your response to Mark 12:18-27? Verse 25 says "For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven." The scribes asked Jesus about marriage after death. What happens when a man's wife dies, and then he remarries? Then that wife dies, and he remarries again? Whose husband is he in the afterlife? Jesus said that there is no marriage after death, except the marriage between Christ and His bride. Please explain.

[Bureyeanne]

The key word is "Given" we (LDS) believe that marriage can only be preformed on Earth not in Heaven. Thus they are not given in marriage in heaven.

Keep in mind also something Jesus said to Peter,

"What ye shall bound on earth shall be bound in heaven..."

I don't wish to debate this doctrine, just to share what I believe. Take it or leave it, but contention is of the devil.

[ChildePC]

To Be honest the christian church in egypt called gnostism had a sub group that were into sexual practice. However it didn't last. Most of the goddess based relgions are sex based BUT PEOPLE AREN'T FLOCKING TO THEM. People are more moral than you give them credit for. I once believed spence w kimbal about dark alleys and young people. I and andy are proof he was wrong.

[Bureyeanne]

I'm not sure that I know who andy might be. The only Andy I know is from Toy Story 1, 2. I assume that is a friend of yours. In the case of Prez. K. He was speaking to mass audiences not indivuals.

[ChildePC]

Here is an important question? Do Mormons consumate their wedding vows on the alter? This is a real question! No one ever answers this for me.

[Bureyeanne]

If that were true there would be hundreds of Millions more members wouldn't there?

[lolipopcorny]

believe whatever you want to believe..

[lolipopcorny]

yes

[KQ6WQ]

To have sex in the Temple would be UNTHINKABLE to members of the LDS faith. Not sure why some think we consumate their wedding vows on the alter (in the Temple).

[krimmola]

This is the perfect marriage. I know that from the deepest part of my heart. I can't wait to marry in a Temple!

[krimmola]

This video is awsome. I loved it. Thanks

[Bureyeanne]

Thanks for the complement. I made this shortly before I was married. That month Life mag featured the 10 grandest weddings of all time. All ended in divorse shortly there after, except JFK's but that should have been a divorse. It hit me it isnt' the grandness of the weding that matters but the commitment.

[Bureyeanne]

Jiynny1811, I am sorry if you were offended. I wasn't old enough to go to my sister's wedding. I understand how it feels. It well, sucks big time. The best I can explain is that the Temple is not considered part of this earth. It is something that is kind of like the US embassy for Heaven in that only it's official citizens can go there. We'd like everyone to go to the temple but not everyone is ready for the commitments.

[jlynny1811]

How can it be a beautiful wedding without the ones you love there? Family...isn't it about time (or is that only for LDS families?). Plus, I don't know many people who would want to be with the same person eternally, that seems kind of boring.

[Bureyeanne]

My whole family was at my wedding. I had several friends there as well. Same with my wife. I think the "family isn't it about time" is a dumb campaign. However, families should be a priority. If the love doesn't last forever then it's not love at all. Oh and Jesus said what is bound on earth is bound in heaven see Matt 18:18. It is sad how that truth was lost over the ages.

[jlynny1811]

Well then you were lucky that your family and friends were LDS. There are many people out there who are hurt by temple marriages because they have a love one convert and get married in the temple. That's not putting family first.

[jlynny1811]

To clarify, they have a loved one get married in the temple and aren't allowed to witness what's supposed to be one of the happiest moment in their life, all because they don't have the same religious beliefs?

[Bureyeanne]

You are right. Until recently the LDS church did a lousy job of dealing with non-member relatives at weddings. Now days the ring ceremony is held at the church if requested since rings are not part of the service.

[Bureyeanne]

The temple is different than a chapel. It is a place transcendent of heaven on earth. Since no unclean thing can enter the kingdom of heaven only those washed, clean and anointed can enter. It's no offense to non-members. They simply haven't made covenants to gain them access to the sealing room. Basically only 5 of 10 women with oil (covenants and anointings) were able to go to the wedding.

[jlynny1811]

Just because no offense was meant doesn't mean no offense is taken.

[Bureyeanne]

God does not let all His children into his kingdom. Is God being offensive. In the case of the temple marriage. I think non-members wouldn't understand and would be disappointed. There's no music, no marching, no flower girl, no rings, no candels, etc. It's simply a very private and solom occasion. The largest temple I know of only seats 20.

[ChildePC]

Oh one other thing preview my site, I want to represent the truth and if you find anything offensive let me know.

[Bureyeanne]

To paraphrase Brigham Young, those who take offense are fools.

To paraphrase Groucho Marx, How can you take offense? I haven't even built one.

[jennorthrop]

Very beautiful and true! But I don't understand why you put all that extra stuff in the discription, it confuses people

[Bureyeanne]

You are right. It doesn't have much to do with what's in the discription.

[Bureyeanne]

My statement is that of an eturnal commitment to a person. Not just "Tell death do you part" That to me seems like a shallow comittment. I only have to be committed for a short while. It is a difference of prespective. That's all. I was in no way trying to make an exclusive statement or thus rip on the covenant of mariage. I think it is the way and form that God designed for all his children.

[Yunginspirit]

I want that! Beautiful!

[Bureyeanne]

Thanks,

It hit me the week before I was married that Life Magazine featured the top 10 ten weddings of the 20th century. With the exception of JFK, all ended shortly there after. Even with JFK, he was a big time cheat. It isn't the money that makes the wedding. It's the commitment.
