Heart of the Matter...A weekly call in TV show..Shawn McCraney is a “Born-Again Mormon” The last few weeks Shawn has been talking about D&C 132 !!!

Here's some of what McCraney said on Part II of his D&C 132 show...note especially the bold-faced below:

Here McCraney is reading and interpreting D&C 132:17 and following:

“For these angels did NOT abide my law (this is talking about everyone who is LDS that has not been married to their spouse in the LDS temple); therefore, they cannot be enlarged (that means have babies forever and govern worlds of their own), but remain separately and singly (that means unmarried)ation, in their saved condition, to all eternity; and from henceforth are not gods, but are angels of God forever and ever.”
This is saying SO much, my friends.
Listen.
First it is saying that there is a huge difference in LDS doctrine between being saved and exaltation (which is becoming a god).

Next, it tells us what is required to become a god: Being married or sealed to a spouse in an LDS temple. If a Latter-day Saint IS NOT married in an LDS temple, they will die without a spouse, and will become servant angels for eternity because they failed where others succeeded, and gained a “weightier glory.”
Sound Christian? They say they are Christian!
Does this sound Christian to you?

And what is required to enter their temple in order to receive these marital ordinances so as to become an enlarged God?

Obedience to an assortment of qualifyiers including confessing allegiance only to Mormonism, Joseph Smith, modern prophets, paying 10% of your income to the church, abstaining from coffee, tea, tobacco and alcohol, having no more than one piercing in your ears, and a host of other external submissions.

Did Jesus say ANYTHING like this was required for people to become GODS?

What does the Bible say is required to receive eternal life?

Believe that Jesus is God and you will be saved.

The “revelation” goes on to list all the glories that await people who are married in an LDS temple, and then states in verse 20 and 21, that after all these glories have been bestowed upon the faithful LDS:

“Then shall they be gods, because they have no end, therefore they shall be from everlasting to everlasting, because they continue; then shall they be above all, because all things shall be subject unto them. Then shall they be gods, because they have all power, and the angels are subject unto them. Verily, verily, I say unto you, except ye abide my law, ye cannot attain to this glory.”

Where God says through Isaiah:

(Isa 43:10) Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

Joseph says:
“You shall be gods. And you will get there ONLY through marriage in an LDS temple.”

A-MAZING!

Amazing that in the august presence of God’s Holy Word and Jesus’ ultimate and final offering, and God’s superlative descriptions of Himself, that there are people on their earth who actually believe they can become gods – through their own efforts.
Father, open their eyes.

The revelation continues...
[McCraney reads & comments on vv. 27-31]...and then adds:

Then he drops the bomb – on Emma, and on the LDS world forever.

Still speaking of Joseph Smith and his relation to Abraham, [the Mormon] God says in verse 32:

“Go ye, therefore, and do the works of Abraham; enter ye into my law and you shall be saved!”

This is gigantic bombshell, my friends, because what Joseph is having God say to him is: “Go take on more wives and you will be saved because you are being obedient to this eternal law being revealed here.”

How can I say this?

Keep reading verses 33-39 ...

What Joseph is doing is he is building a case for his justification for having more than one wife...

John 6

28. Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"
29. Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."
