I don't understand how being married in the temple makes you married in heaven. Did Jesus say that there are no marriage or will be married in heaven in Matthew 22;30. When he said that we will be like angels in heaven it seems like that we will not have any desires to even want to marry or even think about marriage in heaven. The most important thing were gonna be doing is to serve God not have family.

[MormonGratitude]

CR, we believe that in Matthew 22:30, the Savior was teaching that marriage must be performed during mortality, it cannot be done after death (hence the need for temples for those who were unable to do it during mortality). The Savior gave Peter the authority to bind marriages in Heaven in Matthew 16:19.

In 1 John 3:2, John tells us that we shall be like God. And what does God want us to call him by? Father. If we shall be like Him, then we too shall be eternal parents.

[MormonGratitude]

To read the Bibe in its entirety is to read a book about a family.

We serve God by serving our families and others.

I hope that helps you understand what we believe.

[TheCrwilliams]

Look he did not say anything at all about getting married here on earth through a temple you would be married in heaven at all. Jesus said it him self. Even in Mark 12:24 through 25 " Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power God? When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven and Luke: 20: 34 - 36

[MormonGratitude]

Cr, I appreciate your comment, but we simply do not agree on what the word "marry" means. We believe it is the performance of the marriage (which the LDS believes must happen in mortality, that it cannot be done after one has died), you believe it is all marriage.

So with that, we simply agree to disagree.

The LDS church has historically taught that the catholic church was 'the whore of all the earth' yet now they try to legitimize themselves through an implied endorsement by this priest. Kind of hypocritical, no?

[MormonGratitude]

Cranberry,

What you are referring to as being "historically taught" is in regards to what was published in the original version of Mormon Doctrine published by Bruce McConkie. The book was not (and is not) an official publication. When the prophet at the time (David O. McKay) read what McConkie wrote, he instructed him to rewrite the book, and remove that portion from the book (along with other items).

Hope that clarifies things.

What's so beautifull and spiritual about being barred from witnessing your own child's marriage in the Mormon temple?

Family oriented my foot. Even if every family member toes the mormon line, the abuse and cruelty that goes on is staggering. Better not be gay either. So much for family orientation!

[AndromedaFollowsMe]

I wonder how much it costs to get married in the temple?

[BlackOctoberKiss]

@TheCrwilliams

Serving him or not there will always be family in haven, we may not have kids there but, the kids that are birthed on earth will be up there to, so there for family and married is till there.

[RetCrayon]

Mormons spend billions of dollars to build temples for the purpose of redeeming the dead. That's right, the DEAD. I think that money would be better spent helping the living who are in need.

[MiKKA335]

Religion is so stupid. All of it.

[mcneesetrombone]

Ha!!!!!!!! I hope you are wrong. because if Mormons are right then Christ's death and resurrection means nothing and is being WASTED!!!! And if that lady's son did not accept Christ before he died he won't be in heaven! The bible clearly states in Romans that God is no respecter of lineage or bloodline

[TheFunniestKidYouKnw]

@TheCrwilliams when being married in the temple u are also sealed together.which mean for life and eternity...

it regular marrage at the end the say till death dues us part.

[ThePedrosilva7]

@TheCrwilliams in the mormon religion, the must important is the family. we belive that the temple is the lords house and if we married in the temple and sealing the family in the temple that after death we will be together in "heaven"

[PierzStyx]

@TheCrwilliams Exactly. We fully agree. In order to be married in Heaven you must be married in the temple either while alive or before your Resurrection. Afterward is to late and you can not be married or be given in marriage. That si why all temple ordinances are done for teh dead before they rise. Christ here is talking about "when the dead rise" or the Resurrection. He places no limit on what happens while they are dead.

[EscapeNewJersey]

@TheCrwilliams There are no new marriage in the Celestial Kingdom. Marriage and all ordinances bound on Earth are bound in heaven as the Bible says.

[fabianoamarall]

To understand a bit about temples, we all should read the Bible, see:

- Ordinances in Temples are not secret but sacred, only sanctfied ones are allowed; Jeremiah 51: vers.51

- Aspects of temples inside; Jeremiah 52: vers.20 see also

- Temples Must be built everywhere; Zechariah 6: vers.15 - Malachi3: vers.10

- About garments in temples; Exodus 28: vers. 2,4 - Exod.35: vers.19 - Finaly as Jesus said: " Search the scriptures...They are they wich testify of me."

( John 5: vers.39)
