Mormons Belief: LDS (Mormon) Temples Will Dot the Earth

For the millions of people who lived before the Restoration of Christ's Church, temple ordinances were not available during their lifetime. Even today, millions live and die without ever hearing the name of Jesus Christ or without accepting the gospel he taught. Provision must be made, then, for those who have died without that opportunity.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("Mormon Church") teaches that all saving ordinances are to be performed on earth on behalf of the dead. Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormons, stand as proxies for their own ancestors in these ceremonies, including baptisms and sealings for husbands and wives and for parents and children. All temple work is valid only if it is willingly accepted by each individual prior to the Resurrection. Performing temple ordinances receives strong emphasis in the LDS (Mormon) Church. Members of the Church, Mormons, are taught that they have a religious obligation to trace their own genealogies and perform temple ordinances for their ancestors.

Beyond that, most Christians have additional beliefs and the denominations may set their own standards for membership, as indeed Mormons do. But under the standard given above, Mormons are clearly Christians.

@BeeJayEm1 EVANGELICALs seem to be the ones that hassled, hunted, and ran out of town and killed the Mormons.

@omiolo The first, early church saw thousands of Christians killed in a variety of ways, especially the by the pagan Roman Empire. Christians in all forms are harshly treated, even today.

The Mormons have been hassled, hunted, run out of town and killed since their beginning. I've heard of no other Christian group treated that way, not even the ones who reject common practices of other sects. Mormons follow the law of the land and use the King James Bible.

@Edward768 I actually agree with you on your point but doesn't your book immediately bash other religions by calling them all abominations? All religions are the same. There is not one religion that has NOT preached hate in some way. Except Buddhism. Religion is like guns. They aren't supposed to be used for bad things, but in the end, man will kill in the name of a god they can't prove. And yes mormons are sick too. They fuck underage women in the name of god and those are your peers

[Edward768]

It's nice that a lot of you guys don't believe this church is true. But to be honest, how about instead of trying to tell us we have false prophets, and the BOM isn't true, how about you just don't watch these videos. We have beliefs, you have beliefs, but at least we're not going to videos about your religion and saying that you're going to hell for going to the wrong church. And if someone is, then they're just stupid.

@beckyleer The Book of Mormon is a volume of holy scripture comparable to the Bible and is a record of God's dealings with His chosen people in the New World. The main purpose of the Book of Mormon is "to the convincing of Jew and Gentile that JESUS is the CHRIST, the ETERNAL GOD, manifesting himself unto all nations." (Book of Mormon Title Page) It was written by ancient American prophets for our day (Mormon 8:35) and is an American testament of the Lord Jesus Christ.
