- This video contains my own opinions, observations and experience as I have learned and lived as an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. None of my statements should be construed as official positions of the Church.
Temple Sealings and Eternal Marriage are doctrines and principles unique to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some few figures in theological history have spoken of such possibilities but only in The Church of Jesus Christ are they organized and implemented as a key doctrinal principle for the eternal happiness of mankind.
In the beginning of the Church in Joseph Smith's day, the practice of sealings was just being restored. There is some controversy regarding the early implementation but there were no inappropriate relationships, adultery or infidelity. Of course critics of the church have created their own strawman narratives that have been heavily perpetuated through social media and every other means of spreading defamation of Joseph Smith and the revelations he was given regarding the nature of God and human relationships. Many have already expounded on these things and that is not my purpose here.
Thank you for your fantastic message!
Thank you for this video. I just felt the spirit listening so I'll save this ons
Very good job explaining the gospel and temple. I know the Church of Jesus Christ is true and it’s our Savior’s church.❤
I know it's a counterfeit: and I testify to that in the Holy Spirit of the Trinity Godhead of Historical Christianity.
Actually Protestantism would be the counterfeit. If Catholics are wrong so are Protestants. You lump them into one category, possibly one you do not know much about.
The "Trinity Godhead" is a genderless being with no body. Please share how there is a Heavenly Father and his Son and how they would need to be male beings to be a father and son. How do they come from a genderless triune god?

@@davidjanbaz7728 Me, too! Amen! Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. The BIBLE is true...and is NOT corrupted(as Mormons teach).
@@charlesbrown1245 There is no "heavenly mother." AND...Catholicism and Protestantism have NOTHING in common. That's why the Protestant Reformation occurred...where MANY true Christians were martyred.
I was born Mormon, but as a young person, I wanted to leave the church and attend an evangelical church. I thought they had the same idea of God and eternity that we had. However, when I began to understand that, for them, God would not be a man and that after our death we would also no longer have gender but be like the angels in heaven, who neither marry nor are given in marriage, these teachings seemed very strange to me. One day, I asked the pastor if, within their theology, God had regretted creating Adam and Eve to eventually eliminate gender. In fact, I thought I could just switch churches if I had any issues with mine, but this experience showed me that I am truly Mormon in every fiber of my being. If I leave the church, I have nowhere else to go. For me, the way we describe our theology is the best.
Very Good points! As Latter-day Saints we believe that we have a literal Father in Heaven, not a metaphorical father figure. Likewise, we teach that Jesus is the literal Son of God both in the premortal life and in the Flesh. Evangelical theology means that Jesus is just a metaphorical son and savior.
The implications of these doctrines are profound.
You are right, if you as a Latter-day Saint understand the importance of God creating us in His image and that of our Heavenly Mother, we know what the scripture means to be the image of God, male and female. Women are not male and traditional or classical Christian theology totally ignores this doctrine of creation.
