| 0:00.0 | In LDS theology, Latter-day Saints, in their teaching, they have a teaching about the afterlife where marriage does continue. |
| 0:07.0 | So they believe that if you're married in the temple, if you get married inside one of their temples, like we have a temple down in San Diego, |
| 0:14.0 | down south of me, there's temple in Salt Lake, they have several temples around the world, that they've built beautiful, magnificent buildings. |
| 0:20.0 | I mean, they are gorgeous, but I mean, nobody knows how to whitewash a Sepulchre like Satan, because the substance isn't there, so the look has to be there. |
| 0:29.0 | So I think Satan makes the best buildings for that very reason, it's the compensate. |
| 0:34.0 | But the beautiful, gorgeous buildings you go in there, and if you get married, if I'm Mormon, and my wife is Mormon, and we go into the temple, and we have a letter of recommendation from our local bishop, |
| 0:43.0 | and then we can give our vows, and we get married in the temple, it's a special religious ceremony, where you get, quote, sealed for time and all eternity. |
| 0:53.0 | That phrase is important in Mormon teaching, you're sealed for time and all eternity. |
| 0:57.0 | Now the result of this, if you're a good Mormon, and if you die and you become exalted to Godhood, and you become a God, that's Mormon theology, you can become a God, |
| 1:05.0 | as much of a God as God Almighty in the Old Testament, right? That God, you can become like that. |
| 1:11.0 | That God used to be a man like you, and you could become a God like him, so which is actually that idea first came from Satan in the Garden of Eden. |
| 1:19.0 | But if you become a God, then you, if you're a man, with your wife, you procreate in heaven, and she keeps making babies, making babies, millions and billions and billions of babies, |
| 1:31.0 | and then you can finally populate your own planet with your own spirit children, and you can kind of do Earth 2.0. |
| 1:37.0 | You can do like the whole thing God did with Earth, you can do that again with your family. |
| 1:41.0 | This is why in modern Mormonism, they're actually still practice polygamy. |
| 1:45.0 | It's just not in the physical, like you don't have two wives at a time on Earth, but you can have as many wives as possible in heaven. |
| 1:53.0 | This is what Joseph Smith did when he was marrying women, who even some cases were already married. |
| 1:57.0 | He was claiming that guy's wife for his, this is Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, I know there's a lot of info here. |
| 2:03.0 | He's marrying some guy's wife for the future, so that when he died, she'd be one of his many wives that he could sleep within heaven, and she could just be perpetually pregnant. |
| 2:11.0 | So, this is a problem, right? |
| 2:15.0 | If LDS theology teaches these things, and Jesus says there is no marriage in heaven, then you've got to have an explanation for this. |
| 2:21.0 | And this is one of the many points in which LDS theology just comes into conflict with the teachings of the Bible. |
