Just wondering because you were quoting the Old Testament, which was written long before the New Testament was added.

I know that ANYONE who keeps the commandments will know God and will receive ALL the promises that are connected to keeping the commandments because God has promised it.Then 1 John 2:4 doesn't refute anything I've said.

Everyone should strive to keep the commandments every day, every week, every month, and every year because in doing so they show their love for Jesus Christ. I ask you should a person boast in their endeavors to please God? No, but I will boast in Jesus Christ who gave us the commandments of love because in keeping the commandments God's children can come to know God. They can also receive all of the blessings and promises given to those who keep the commandments:Have you kept all of the commandments?
- today?
- this week?
- this month?
- this year?
Loving parents want to attend their children's weddings. I've talked to some who had a child married in one of your temples.
Sorry, for the most part they do. And like I say, the teachings of the SDA do not fully agree with the bible either.
(Old Testament | Deuteronomy 11:26 - 28)I know that the Doctrine and Covenants is false doctrine
D&C 130
20 There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated—
21 And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated.
No one deserves eternal life
1 Corinthians 15
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
God gave us the commandments so we could learn what real love is.
My step-daughter had a real wedding ceremony where we all attended. Then she had a Mormon temple service---to which no family member could go to, not even her own mother and father. Her father was dying of cancer at the time---she did not know it. Had she not had the real wedding first, he would never have been able to be at her wedding. That would have broke his heart--and hers, she was a "daddy's girl."
The Bible agrees with me, Adam and Eve's eyes were not open, in other words they did not know the facts of life.
Some are not able to even attend the wedding reception as in my case and also for many others.
(Old Testament | Deuteronomy 11:26 - 28)
26 ¶ Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
27 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
(New Testament | Romans 16:26)
26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
(New Testament | Revelation 22:14)
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
(Old Testament | Psalms 112:1)
1 PRAISE ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
(Old Testament | Numbers 23:20)
20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

God does not break His promises!:You are so wrong---God gave us His word, that tells that God so loved us, that He gave His ONE AND ONLY SON, TO DIE FOR US IN ORDER TO SAVE US----that is real love, the full realization of that is when we fall in love with God and that love makes us want to obey Him. We then know that His commandments are an expression of His love and character, not a set of rules. Love is the key! Until you figure that out---all your scripture quoting and commandment keeping will get you nowhere.
God does not break His promises!:
(Old Testament | Numbers 23:19)
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
(New Testament | John 14:15 - 16)
15 ¶ If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
(New Testament | John 14:21 - 23)
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
He promised and He will make good on His promises even if you say He won't.
They were already married:Wrong---the bible disagree with you. They were innocent , sin free, they had no ideas they were naked. Sex has nothing to do with clothing!! They were just getting to know their surrounding, their God, each other. As I said, they didn't even know their names yet. Most people like to get to know each other before having sex--- Mormons don't have to---they just have sex first and get to know each other later?
