It's just not an answer you like - but you are in no position to demand any one answer from me.
Here is Post #220 in it's entirety - see if you can spot the answer,
"No one needs to pay tithing to get baptized.
In order to get baptized a person needs to show a willingness to keep the standards set by God.
If someone says that they are not willing to keep the Law of Chastity as it was described to them - they will not get baptized - because they don't want to be members of His Church.
Faithful members of His Church have a willingness to keep the Law of Chastity.
If they say that they are willing to keep the Law of Chastity - they can get baptized - because they have a willingness to live by His standards.
If they mess up and and commit fornication after baptism - they remain baptized members of the Church - but they will be encouraged to repent and to keep the Law of Chastity.
If someone says that they are not willing to keep the Word of Wisdom as it was described to them - they will not get baptized - because they don't want to be members of His Church.
Faithful members of His Church have a willingness to keep the Word of Wisdom.
If they say that they are willing to keep the Word of Wisdom - they can get baptized - because they have a willingness to live by His standards.
If they mess up and smoke a cigarette after baptism - they remain baptized members of the Church - but they will be encouraged to repent and to keep the Word of Wisdom.
If someone says that they are not willing to keep the Sabbath Day holy as it was described to them - they will not get baptized - because they don't want to be members of His Church.
Faithful members of His Church have a willingness to keep the Sabbath Day holy.
If they say that they are willing to keep the Sabbath Day holy - they can get baptized - because they have a willingness to live by His standards.
If they mess up and stop coming to Church or rendering service after baptism - they remain baptized members of the Church - but they will be encouraged to repent and to keep the Sabbath Day holy.
If someone says that they are not willing to pay their tithes as it was described to them - they will not get baptized - because they don't want to be members of His Church.
Faithful members of His Church have a willingness to pay their tithes.
If they say that they are willing to pay their tithes - they can get baptized - because they have a willingness to live by His standards.
If they
never once pay any tithing after baptism - they remain baptized members of the Church - but they will be encouraged to repent and to pay their tithes.
These are all standards that God has asked faithful members of His Church to keep.
All they need in order to join His Church is a willingness to follow His standards.
If they have no willingness to do as He says - then they obviously do not wish to be members of His Church - so nothing is denied them.
If they have a willingness to do as He says - but are unable to follow through after being baptized - they remain members of His Church - but they will be encouraged to repent and do as He commands.
God commands that members of His Church pay tithes.
I understand that you do not like this fact - but you have yet to provide any reason to believe that it is immoral for God to ask members of His Church to pay tithes.
You also have yet to provide any reason to believe that it is immoral for God's church to have $100 billion."
You are misrepresenting what I said.
I talked about "going to the Temple" - not vicarious ordinances for the dead.
Not going to the Temple in this life does not deny anyone access to the Celestial Kingdom.
I know you won't read it but I would refer you to the Prophet's account of seeing his older brother - who died before the Restoration and who had never been baptized or gone to the Temple - in the Celestial Kingdom along with Abraham and the Father and the Son.
Doctrine and Covenants 137
So - that's it - you finally admit it.
You believe that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a false church. That is the core of your "argument".
Otherwise you would not describe the Church as a "snake oil salesman". A charlatan or quack.
And I'm sure that you'd consider any "snake oil salesman" - either rich or poor - to be immoral.
No wonder you didn't want to answer my question about if you'd still consider the paying of tithes to be immoral if the Church had been penniless.
If you had answered that question truthfully - you would have said "Yes" because you believe the Church is false - thus making the subject of how much money the Church has irrelevant.
You kept mentioning the money to distract everyone from your actual "beef" with the Church.
So - this was never about the Church having $100 billion - but about you believing that the Church is false.
You don't think it is immoral for the Church to ask for tithes - but since you consider the Church to be false - it's all of a sudden immoral.
You believe that the Church is "selling" lies.
Basically - your claim is not based on any evidence - but your own subjective bias.
