You, nor anyone else on this God given earth can say if ******, by Mormon standards, would qualify for the Celestial Kingdom. That is ridiculous! We each have an individual judgement, and as a Non-Recovering Mormon, I believe these judgements will be a lot less harsh, then you obviously do. It’s no wonder why there are so many “recovering Mormons” out there, if they all get so caught up in these pithy details and view God’s plan so black and white and in our disfavor. God already has done everything that He can to win us the prize…he has never tried to condemn us. He only wants eternal life for each of us. We cannot even begin to understand the complexities of the next life. God can work out where each family member belongs. He is All-powerful.
So, let’s take your scenario again. Every single person in ****’s family..even her X and his partner (if I understand that situation right) have claim on the Celestial Kingdom. Every single one of them….even if they die having sex with a person of the same sex, or they die in the middle of a drug overdose, or in cursing the name of God, or even in denying His church, they still have claim. And nobody has any right to tell them they don’t. If they individually make it, and they have had a sealing in their life (or even after life)…they are IN! This means that EVEN ALL OF YOU X Mormons still have claim, and so do your children, even if they aren’t members of our church.
It is a beautiful plan. There is a place for everyone in it. We are all God’s children. He does not want to be apart from any of us. But, we have to prove that we want to be with him. And there is still room for repentance in the Spirit World, before we are judged. So, NO ONE CAN say whether or not ANYONE ELSE can make it. That is ALSO beautiful and should keep people from condemning one another, like it is so often done in other faiths.
What is that term anyway? Recovering Mormon? Like someone can Recover from their claim or unclaim on God. As someone who attends a Celebrate Recovery church where true Recovery occurs through an inspired 12 step program and someone who also is a Mormon, I find that term offensive. Are you also a Recovering Molecule? Ridiculous.
Religion, like government, a method of controlling the masses. No wonder there are so many politicians and preachers.
You have to give Rigdon, Smith, and the other con men who were in their circle credit. Just like then, the modern L.D.S. Inc. fleeces the sheep for afterlife insurance.
Stay around and read, and your eyes will be opened.
