I keep reading how freemasons are evil and do horrible things. Yet I grew up with masons. I'm not evil, nor do I do horrible things. So, being new, and open minded. I would like to have a civilized discussion about the freemasons! And remember. I come from family members whom are passed now, but, were. Masons. I'm open to here. Thank you.

Only ridiculous people think we actually believe that.
Salvation is through Christ alone. Good works follow those that believe and are reborn, evidence of salvation not a condition for it.
And we intend to inherit everything as Christ did. Planets? I want the universe and everything else.
You don't know your own theology. These are real Mormon teachings. Look into it.
You know our doctrine better than I do?
Please, do tell. What "works" are we required to do to be saved? Please cite chapter and verse, from any of our standard works.
And please cite chapter and verse that says anything about us inheriting planets.
1876: "All those who are counted worthy to be exalted and to become Gods, even the sons of God, will go forth and have earths and worlds like those who framed this and millions on millions of others. Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 18:259, October 8, 1876
"Then will they become Gods...they will never cease to increase and to multiply, worlds without end. When they receive their crowns, their dominions, they then will be prepared to frame earths like unto ours and to people them in the same manner as we have been brought forth by our parents, by our Father and God”
Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses 17:143
"...A man and his wife when glorified will have spirit children who eventually will go on an earth like this one we are on and pass through the same kind of experiences, being subject to mortal conditions, and if faithful, then they also will receive the fullness of exaltation and partake of the same blessings."
Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation 2:48
Oh snap!
That says we get way more than just a planet. Which was my point. We agree with the Bible on this point: we are heirs with Christ.
But I asked you cite our standard works, not obscure texts that aren't even considered doctrine. You know, the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price.
I figured you knew absolutely nothing about how our religion works.
That's fine. It's easy to learn. Find any of our missionaries and they will teach you our doctrine.
Not necessary, just have to go to the Joseph Smith Papers and LDS archives. Whoa boy there are some eye-opening comments by mormon founder and subsequent prophets. Crazy, nest level shit like 7ft tall people living on the moon that dressed like Quakers. LOL
Men MUST marry 3 women to get to the celestial kingdom---didn't matter that Jo Smith married women who were already married to faithful mormon men. Joe held eternal salvation over the heads of TEENAGED GIRLS to marry them--
I could go on, but I don't want to to the hard work for you--
It's a religion founded by a liar who quite possibly had schizophrenia and a God complex. There are more lessons. sermons and pics of Joe Smith than Jesus.

All of what you say is false.
But you already knew that.
And yes, I read the papers.
