Choosing Eternal Joy: Decide Wisely for Your Forever Happiness | Mormon Prophet

[@SilentThundersnow]

I swear he looks like the crooked gangster guy in the Bugs Bunny cartoon. 'Bugsy! Stop gettin IDEAS!' 🤣

[@quacks2much]

I'm not choosing anything because I don't believe Nelson's premise that he knows what he is talking about.

[@SilentThundersnow]

He's not the droid we're looking for?? 🤣

[@nute742]

The bible does mention the (1) 3 Heavens (2) Jesus said "many mansions" etc - so there is "biblical" evidence even without the lds further teachings (however no christian church has really examined or caught on to its meaning) Most churches are really more "historical" and traditional (which isnt a bad start) But those yearning for more truth will seek more (and will find it).

[@nute742]

@@SilentThundersnow Thats funny! (but the droid did have the truth though! lol, the storm troopers were deceived (in the movie).

[@boysrus61]

I covenanted to slit my throat for one and to obey my husband. Neither of those are done anymore in the temple so have the covenants changed and the qualifier going to the celestial kingdom are different for me then for my chilren?

[@ubermormon9611]

Great question.

[@laurap3444]

It’s all pretend.

[@nute742]

You are right, They don't do that anymore (that was 30 year ago) It was just symbolic (however I get it) Especially in these days! (especially for outsiders looking in). The jews did it back in the day too (as more of a symbol of loyalty). Also it just wasnt for women (back then, but men did it too) Sometimes I wonder if older people are held to "higher" standards than the youth (considering what they've grown up in)? I guess we just have to continue living the best of what we know, taught and feel good about.

[@Nicetry-427]

He states that “The Lord” taught that the only way into the Celestial Kingdom is for a man and a woman to be sealed together and keep their covenants. This was taught by the LDS “Lord” the true Lord taught there is no marriage in Heaven. This is just one of the MANY examples that the LDS faith teaches a different Lord than the Bible teaches.

[@SilentThundersnow]

Love the threat. Snake Oil Face Nelson always forgets to disguise the 🔫 to your head as 'a promise.' Wanna see your family ever again? You better do exactly as i say. You choose NOT to obey me, you choose NOT to see your family ever again! AND you'll live in a little hut with a tin roof! No nonsense Nelson: UP AGAINST THE WALL MF!🤣

Mr Tony Soprano Nelson

[@TheSandyStone]

"The kind of body you have" that stuck so hard in my brain. Until I found its source and read all the commentary from Joseph fielding. Joseph Fielding Smith Answers to Gospel Questions vol. 4, pg. 66

[@TheSandyStone]

"Is not the sectarian world justified in their doctrine generally proclaimed, that after the resurrection there will be neither male nor female sex? It is a logical conclusion for them to reach and is apparently in full harmony with what the Lord has revealed regarding the kingdom's into which evidently the vast majority of mankind is likely to go."

[@thuggie1]

i have family members who say he is likable i just don't see it

[@nute742]

He is likeable (I know his son, and both are good people) He (Pres nelson) was a heart doctor before (came up with some life saving procedures!) My dad (also a heart doctor - worked with him and wrote a paper on heart research - to help people) Sometimes knowing someone in person is the best way to get to know them (vs hearing something online from a person that is against them).

[@Cyber_Cowboy]

When I hear him speak I can't stop thinking about the old man on Family Guy that whistles when he speaks.

[@nute742]

I'll have to watch that!

[@daisyseedsower]

we know that we are saved by grace AFTER all we can do. (Book of Mormon scripture) Mormons, what is all you can do?

[@crazyritenow338]

Looks like he drank a bottle of snake oil 😂

[@Jsppydays]

Love you president Nelson even if I don't agree. You are a wonderful man.

[@manderson4803]

This concept destroyed my parent's relationship. WHERE DID GOD CLEARLY TEACH THIS? Is it in the BOM? The proven fake book?

[@ubermormon9611]

I’m sorry.

[@nute742]

Im sorry about that! (disagreements in faith can be tough). The book of mormon was proven to be true (recently) through AI + Chat GPT (at least for its "authentic voices") But in it is a lot of good words, and advice. Again sorry for your parents (god bless wish you the best) :)

[@Themanyfacesofego]

What about people who are not married?

[@Stphne1968]

So, negative commenters; how are your lives really going? Are you handling stress and disappointment well? How often do you feel joy? Do you struggle to keep your moods up or battle anxiety, hopelessness or depression? I just notice there are a lot of people here who think bashing the church is somehow going to do something for them that feels satisfying, but all I see is a group of unhappy, miserable complainers who've never truly sought knowledge from God and therefore have nothing to compare it to. How can you know what the truth is if you don't really want to know? Too many people here seem to care more about convincing themselves they are right than actually being right. .

[@jimbo6882]

I can’t speak for them, but I can tell you that my experience growing up in the church was a constant struggle with self-hatred, needless guilt, strained relationships with my parents, and an omnipresent sense of shame and isolation. The pain that this organization put me through for experiencing normal sexual development through my teenage years led me to the brink of suicide. For six years I fought myself and begged Heavenly Father for help… and guess what? He never fucking helped me, all I got was more shame, more pain, more hate… I’m getting out of this cult as soon as I can because any organization that has made me feel this much agony doesn’t deserve my attendance or my money.

[@seanhollibaugh3776]

Why do so many "Holy Men" look so ovbiously goddamn evil. That guy looks like what Satan would.

[@jonathanestes7979]

It because he follows Satan. Mormons are false religion created by a conman with a sex addiction. This cult wouldn’t exist if they truly followed God. But it does and they truly follow Satan and call him god.

[@velkyn1]

That's what constantly lying does.

[@SilentThundersnow]

He just can't seem to hide it. And the doesn't try except I think someone told him he needed to smile a couple years back. Because he never did. But it just makes him look so much creeper!

[@nute742]

Im family friends with his son (both of them are outstanding people who care)! My dad was a heart doctor with pres nelson and they wrote a paper together! He had some "breakthrough" papers also on helping heart attack patients. Im not sure if satan does that (lol) He (S..) does break a lot of hearts though!

[@nute742]

Actually satan looks more like a "pretty boy" so beware of looks alone. He just is older now (thats what happens as people age). Think if someone said that about someone's mom or dad?

[@Dragontailwelshponies]

He looks evil

[@nute742]

Evil usually hides behind beauty.

[@velkyn1]

Yep, more lies from theists about their imaginary nonsense. Happily, their fantasies will never come true.

[@nute742]

Its in the bible (if one believes or studies it) the "3 heavens" (so to say there isnt anything to it is telling). Jesus even said there are "many mansions" in his father kingdom!

[@velkyn1]

@@nute742 Yep, and you ignorant christians can't agree on what those phrases "really" mean. You all make up whatever nonsense you want. You are all quite the frauds.

[@sarahpinho1114]

Well since my parents who are leaders in the church and also have been abusive towards me throughout my life and I've had to go nc just to recover my mental and physical health, do I want to be in heaven with them forever .. 🤔 nooooooooooo 😂😂😂😆😆😂😂

[@nute742]

If they (parents) did this and are in the church you should confront them (or go to their bishop)! Just because some goes to church it doesnt necessarily save anyone (unless people learn something from it and apply it). I understand! (I've been hurt by many there too)! Its tough to keep the faith - while seeing abusive or self righteous people. (The doctrine is true, but people sometimes take forever to get it)!

[@WelshLadOfficial]

Certainly not with the Mormons

[@VioletDickey]

Evil eyes!

[@nute742]

Really! (what if someone said that about your mom or dad) That is what aging sometimes does. (Glad Jesus judges us on our hearts) Perhaps one day you can meet him in person! (My dad did - they were both heart doctors and wrote papers to help heart attack patients have a better life).
