Mormons: I have a few questions about your religious beliefs...?

Question

1. Do you believe that the husband has to pull his wife out of the grave in order for her to get to one of the three levels of Heaven?
2. What if you and your family go to different levels of Heaven, will you ever see eachother again?
3. Do you believe that the husband gets his own planet and can have planet babies with his wife after death?
4. Do you believe that Jesus Christ is your savoir, died on the cross for all of our sins, and that you will be saved by having faith in him and believing that he is your savior?

If you are going to answer, please elaborate and be specific, no answers like "yes" or "no". Thanks

Answer 1

1. LDS believe that the only way to 'get into heaven' is through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We also believe that individuals, or singles if you will, can also get into heaven. I expect some of my family to be there to help me through if I need it. I know they are helping me through stuff now.
2. Yes, the LDS believe in heaven a little differently than some other religions might. We believe it is a progression and that you can and will always be learning and growing.
3. We believe in eternal progression - constant growth and learning. Some have speculated that we might eventually grow into a state of knowledge where we might even be able to create things.....but it is speculation - the logical extension of the law of progression.
4. Jesus Christ is our Saviour and the center of this religion. He died on the cross for all mankind to help provide a way back to the Father through Him. He is our mediator to the Father. We do believe that we will be resurrected through our faith in Him, and His mercy and grace.

Answer 2

1. To be resurrected, or "pulled out of the grave" requires a person who has already done that, except in Jesus Christ's case. That is how He opened the grave and made it possible for everyone else to be resurrected. So if the husband is worthy, he will resurrect his wife. If he is not, her father, or other righteous ancestor will. Everyone will be resurrected, a person can't choose to withhold that from another.

2. Yes, we will get to see each other again. Just as Jesus condescended to come to earth and live a mortal life, those in the higher levels of heaven can descend to the lower levels. It does not work the other way, though.

3. Planet, no. I believe that eternity is a very, very, very, long time. If we are worthy, we will be able to progress throughout eternity. Eventually, wouldn't you think, we would get to the point of being able to create worlds, and even people to live on them?

4. Yes. Jesus Christ is my Savior. He paid for my sins so that I would not have to. Through His grace, I will be able to become clean from sin and mortality and live with God.

Answer 3

1. I agree with Dane's/the Senator answer on this one. I couldn't have said it better so I won't even attempt to.
2. I asked this question of my temple President about a month ago, after reading in D&C some relevant sections. My question was that if my Mom (who is anti, but occasionally shows some personal growth toward acceptance of my being Mormon) does not enter the Celestial kingdom, and my Dad chooses to go where she goes (he isn't a member either but I see him as being closer to acceptance than she)and for the sake of argument I am allowed access to the Celestial kingdom, how would that work? I know they couldn't come see me, but I could go see them, right? (I asked this to the temple President, I'm not asking it to you.) He said yes, if it worked out that way then they could not go to where you are, but you could go to them. You're assuming that she will choose to be in a different level of heaven than you, just remember, he said, that most likely you will all be together and if they do not become members in this life there are family members on the other side. (His inference was that of missionary work on the other side of the veil, although he didn't say it.) So it gave me a little peace, but not any new information. How it works is those at the highest level (Celestial) can minister to any of the other levels, and the second highest level can minister to the third highest level, but can't go to the Celestial level. And the third highest level only gets ministered to. They can not go to either of the other two levels.
3. Some will, many won't. Not all LDS husbands will. Not all those who attain the Celestial kingdom will. Those who will will be responsible for the same things that God was responsible for on our planet. The children they have will be in spirit form only, not physical form - except for one who will be the savior of that world just as Christ is the Savior of this planet.
4. Yes, absolutely without a doubt. We can not expect to attain any level of Heaven without Him.

Answer 4

a million) I actually have a private ethical aversion to homosexuality. why are people so bigotted against THAT attitude besides? If a undeniable ethical decision is made in a "stay and permit stay" customary, is it incorrect to have differing critiques? I actual wish no longer. As to being anti jewish, racist, etc, maximum christians are not... although, you will run into as many demonizing fake statements approximately Christianity as you will approximately the different faith. 2) i'm going to respond to a question with a question: why are you so rapid to generalize an entire team of persons right into a unmarried bucket of habit? everybody is biased in direction of their very own perspectives, no longer in uncomplicated terms christians, and the prevalence of non-public bias between Christians is below no circumstances shown to be extra suitable than the different team. 3) in case you have self belief some thing is mandatory for eternal happiness, and you think of that somebody else lacks that mandatory ingredient... would not you attempt to proportion it with them? ok, ok, some fundy kinds are too rapid to leap on people too harshly, yet that's (returned) in no way ALL christians. 4) It relies upon on the case... we (Catholics) have self belief that the doctrine of the church has been defined and that there might properly be no new conflicting revelations. meaning if somebody starts preaching some thing that's clearly no longer genuine they're the two a liar, a loopy individual, erroneous, or all 3. notwithstanding if no longer something they say is untrue, because of the fact the doctrine of the church has been defined, no new inner maximum revelation is ever individually binding on individuals of the church.

Answer 5

The specific answers to your questions are:

1. No.
2. Yes
3. No
4. Yes

Better research might have lead to different answers.

The wife may enter the Celestial Kingdom without a husband. If he is there, he will be the one to help her through the veil.

Planets? The planets belong to Heavenly Father. We will obtain the white stone referred to in Revelation.

Answer 6

Hi friend. Thanks for asking.

1) Mormons do not believe women must marry to go to heaven. We believe that marriage is essential for the spiritual progress of both men and women. However, those men and women who do not have the opportunity to marry in this life (for whatever reason) can certainly still get into heaven. In 1996, Elder Dallin H. Oaks, one of the worldwide leaders of the Mormon Church, stated: "Through the merciful plan of our Father in Heaven, persons who desire to do what is right but through no fault of their own are unable to have an eternal marriage in mortal life will have an opportunity to qualify for eternal life in a period following mortality, if they keep the commandments of God and are true to their baptismal and other covenants."

2) I do not believe families will be separated in the next life.

3) This is not an accurate statement of Mormon belief. Mormons do not speak of having their own planets, nor do we claim to understand the nature of procreation after death. Like many other Christian denominations (specifically the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic branches of Christianity), Mormons do believe in "theosis," the idea that man can progress to become more like God. Historically, this concept was had among the earliest Christians.

Mormons believe in the Bible, which teaches: "To him that overcometh will I [Christ] grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." So we believe that we can become like God through the power of Christ, but not that we will ever be greater than God. We will always worship God the Father and Christ the Son. To use traditional Christian terminology (and not terminology that only Mormons understand), it would probably be more accurate to say that Mormons believe they can become angels in the next life (although that phrasing doesn't exactly capture Mormon belief either, and is explicitly inaccurate if one uses the Mormon definition of "angel"). It is not true that Mormons believe men and women can progress to become equal to God. We will always worship God.

4) Mormons absolutely believe that Christ is the Savior and that He paid for our sins. We believe that salvation comes through Christ.

Answer 7

1. Ok- See Senator's answer- he has this right on. I guess I did not fully understand the question you were asking.

2. I really don't know the answer to that question. I hope so, but I don't know.

3. Not exactly- We believe in the concept of eternal progression. We aren't going to just sit around on our clouds for the rest of eternity praising God. We are his children, every parent wants to see their children progress and become great, that is what our Father wants for us. We will never be greater than him, just as we are never greater than our parents. Even when we advance and become parents, they are still on a greater plain than us- they are Grandparents, when we become Grandparents, they are great Grandparents, etc.. Yes we do believe that the natural progression is to advance to where he is and obtain "all that our Father has" To understand this you really have to understand our belief on the nature of God.

4. Yes With all my heart I believe that. I also believe that following him means trying to live your life like him.

To really understand this, I invite you to visit www.Mormon.Org of find a member in your area to talk to.

Answer 8

Their non-answers speak volumes. They claim to be non-secretive, but they won't tell you about this in detail unless you join. They'll be vague and evasive if they answer at all. They'll accuse you are being anti-mormon or simply say "you are wrong" but they will never clarify what they mean. They are taught as missionaries that you give "milk before meat". That is, you don't talk about the controversial stuff until you get buy-in on the less controversial stuff.

Example: See below me. She evaded question three by only talking about planet-babies. She did not answer as to whether her husband gets his own planet.

Answer 9

I am not a mormon but would like to know if any mormons will answer this question. MMM very interesting questions.

Answer 10

The Mormons are very secretive! I live in SLC, and there are certain things non-Mormons cannot do here. You are not allowed to enter the Mormon temples anywhere in the world without a 'temple recommend', meaning you go through lots of interviews from bishops, etc. to enter. Only the elite are allowed to enter to perform the ceremonies of sealing and baptism by proxy for the dead. They won't tell you about their magic underwear either. I am not saying anything untrue about it. Do the research for yourself. Go to their site and you will see that you must have the recommend to be allowed into the temple.
