Top Heaven Reserved for Mormons

Post by moksha »

Considering all the billions of people who have inhabited the earth, what do you think of the idea that the top heaven is restricted to Mormons?
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Yes there is a special place reserved for Mormons in the afterlife. And they think it's heaven.

Whenever I bring that subject up I’m always met with: No one is barred from the celestial kingdom in the hereafter. Everyone will have an opportunity to accept the gospel. Everyone will have the chance to marry and be sealed, etc.

I like to imagine that heaven is like one giant 5 star hotel. In room 1043 you have all the Mormons who think they made it to the celestial kingdom. Down the hall you have the 144K Jehovah witnesses all crammed into one room. Then down the hall and around the corner you have the Muslims, the Buddhist, etc etc.

Everyday the celestial kingdom Mormons leave their hotel room and walk down the hall in their white robes, green aprons, and sash tied around their waste. They nonchalantly knock on a few doors asking the other tenants if they want to join Mormonism. They invite them to meet with the missionaries and a few here and there will make their way down to the hotel swimming pool to get baptized.

Unbeknownst to them, their apostate family members are at the same hotel on the 9th floor having a great time getting to know themselves and their neighbors. Occasionally they get a visit from the 10th floor super Mormons crying that they’re missed.

Everyone else is just happy to be with their loved ones and waiting for the hotel buffet to open.

As long as they abandon every aspect of who they are.
