I cannot believe I am actually giving you the time of day. i will give mormons, non-mormons, unbiased people all the time of die, and I do so with a completely open mind because they are doing the same. I am a very strong member if the Mormon Church with a unshakeable foundation built upon the testimony of the scriptures, prophets, and the Spirit. I come on here to answer questions but also to learn from people who are not members to learn more about their beliefs. We should both come to the table with all of what we each have and both leave with even more than we started with. We are to learn from one another. With that said, in case anyone who is wanting to grow in knowledge reads this, here are a few verses on Eternal Marriage and Temple Sealings: Gen. 2:24 "cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh"; Eccl. 3:14 "whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever"; Matt. 16:19 "whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven"; Mark 10:19 "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder"; 1 Cor. 11:11 "neither is the man without the woman...in the Lord"; Eph. 5:31 "a man...shall be joined unto his wife...be one flesh"; 1 Pet. 3:7 "heirs together of the grace of life"; Helaman 10:7 "whatsoever ye shall seal on earth shall be sealed in heaven." The scriptures are then full of verses about the plan of salvation. I will just list them, people can find them, as there are way too many. Jeremiah 1:5; John 1:1-3; John 6:45; John 17:3; Acts 17:29; Acts 24:15; 1 Cor. 15; Hebrews 12:9; 1 Peter 3:15-21; 1 Peter 4:6; 2 Peter 3:13; 2 Nephi 2:13; Mosiah 3:24-25; Alma 11:37-46; Alma 34:34; Alma 40:1-26 Also, there are these on the Plan of Salvation: Isaiah 53:5; Acts 4:12; Eph. 2:8; Titus 1:2; Hebrews 5:9; 1 Peter 1:20; 1 John 2:1; 2 Nephi 2:26; 2 Nephi 9:6,13; 2 Nephi 25:23; Mosiah 13:28; Mosiah 14:5; Alma 12:33; Alma 22:13; Alma 34:16; Alma 42:13 Plural Marriage: Genesis 16:1-11; 25:1; 29:28; 30:4,9,26; Exodus 21:10; Deut. 17:15-17; 21:15; 2 Samuel 2:2; 5:13; 12:7-9; 1 Kings 11:1-4; 2 Chr. 13:21; 24:3; Isa. 4:1; Ether 10:5; Jacob 2:27,30 I do agree with you that some of these are very vague in their content. Ephesians 4:5 is clear "one lord, one faith, one baptism". The problem is that there are thousands of Christian denominations, and all of them disagree with each other. They are NOT ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM. This proves our point, you need latter-day prophets to give revelation and shed light on these topics, and we individually need the Holy ghost when we read scripture. We can only receive the Holy ghost by the laying on of hands by one with the proper authority. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the only church with prophets and apostles called of God, given the proper authority.
