That is definitely how I saw it before my faith change in October 2003. Now that legal authority has no meaning to me, the “natural” way is the only way I know to create eternal unity.
Exactly Tom. The LDS church and it’s leaders can claim whatever they want, and pile on massive amounts of commandments and requirements necessary for the loving bonds to continue in the next life, but, IMO, I don’t think the big dog really cares all that much about are temple recememends. I have no doubt there will be many folks with TR and temple sealings who won’t be “sealed” and many folks who have not been in a Mormon temple and have no desire to ever be in a Mormon temple who will be “sealed.”
I agree with that. However, I see temple sealings as a sign of respect and kindness. Maybe it does bring people together in the afterlife who weren’t together, but I suspect with eternity looming, many people may find one another eventually. Maybe the spirit world has a kind of “lost and found” service for people!
