You asked for an explanation, I gave one.
I'm OCD truthful and I will gladly admit that Christ is my Lord, Savior, and King. I owe Him my life and devote every second and every fiber of my being to Him.

You asked for an explanation, I gave one.That paper is just a paper.

Simply explain how your temple doctrine of eternal marriage does not directly contradict Matthew 22:30.
You mean, the Bible is supposedly authenticated by whatever 'true church' there is, rather than the other way round?Christians can't make people see what they don't want to see. God can.
Most Mormons don't believe us or the Bible.
Nephi testified that the Bible once “contained the fulness of the gospel of the Lord, of whom the twelve apostles bear record” and that “after [the words] go forth by the hand of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, from the Jews unto the Gentiles, thou seest the formation of that great and abominable church, which is most abominable above all other churches; for behold, they have taken away from the gospel of the Lamb many parts which are plain and most precious; and also many covenants of the Lord have they taken away” (1 Nephi 13:24, 26).

This statement is downright false. Rather, LDS love the Bible as the word of God, and study it frequently. For example, today's Sunday School lesson was on Noah's Arc. My personal studies were in John and Galatians.Most Mormons don't believe us or the Bible.
Huh? Truth is of God. Scripture and the Church both come from God, and both testify of Him.You mean, the Bible is supposedly authenticated by whatever 'true church' there is, rather than the other way round?

No. I'm not following how you're even coming to that question.Doesn't the first statement somewhat undermine the second? if the 'church' and Scriptures are supposedly on a par?
The first quote seemed to put Scripture and the 'church' on an authoritative par.No. I'm not following how you're even coming to that question.
*rolls eyes*Only certain verses are true if they can twist the meaning to fit their doctrine and only their church has any God-given authority.
I, of course, disagree.
God Himself is the final authority.The first quote seemed to put Scripture and the 'church' on an authoritative par.
Thus, however enthusiastically Bible study is asserted, it is hard to see how such Bible study acknowledges the final authority of Scripture.
God does not, however, overrule His own Word, already revealed.God Himself is the final authority.
Yes. Nor is He dead: LDS believe He continues to live and continues to speak.God does not, however, overrule His own Word, already revealed.
I do look to His Word - the Bible - for 'thus saith the LORD', rather than to any church claiming to overrule His Word or add to it.Yes. Nor is He dead: LDS believe He continues to live and continues to speak.
God is the giver of scripture. Again, LDS believe He still lives and still speaks. Scripture is not a love letter from a dead person.I do look to His Word - the Bible - for 'thus saith the LORD', rather than to any church claiming to overrule His Word or add to it.
