Anyone that has been doing any type of studying or showing an interest into what the Mormons believe and stand for and have a true knowledge of the Bible itself are going to realize that there are many fallacies that this particular religion falls into. Although one must admit that there are several interesting parts of the Mormon religion although not believable still have an interest to them. One of the biggest interests is the Celestial marriage.
Keep in mind that the Mormon religion is the Church of the Latter Day Saints. If you are looking at the Celestial Marriage it is very important that you understand according to their believe what exaultation actually means in accordance to their believe it means that it is the eternal life or the life that God lives, and great glory in perfection, all knowledge in all wisdom. Now according to the Mormon scriptures it is meant to help men and women become gods and goddesses in the Celestial Kingdom.
So getting down to what marriage means for the Mormon and talking here about the eternal marriage this must be done and carried through by only those that are in the priesthood of the Mormons. The ceremony must be carried out in one of the holy temples because it is only in the temple this can be performed as a holy act.
Now according to the Mormons if they have been married under any other means then this marriage is only good for the time they are here on earth. According to those that were present during Josephs revelation concerning this it was believed that this was the most holy and important aspect that man could ever receive knowledge of. This revelation incidentally was given in 1843 and this is part and parcel of being able to fit into the highest level of the three heavens that Joseph teaches about.
Josephs teaching opens the door to much conjecture. For example they teach that you aregoing to have a second chance. So logically speaking why should you follow what the church says here on earth when you're going to get another chance at it anyway? Another interesting factor is that this revelation of Joseph regarding the marriage of exultation is not found in the book of Mormons
Many individuals that are not aware of the Mormon Church classes it as a Church of standard Christianity. This is because on the surface many of the quotations that are made by the Mormons seem to comply with what the King James version would teach. It is when one goes beyond the basics that you will see the dramatic difference from the Mormon church believes to that of Christianity.
So there lies the great controversy between the Mormon religion or as commonly knows as the Church of the Latter Day Saints. The lesson to be learned is to not take anything on its surface of what it seems to be and to look carefully before entering in and making any judgment of any religion.
