What is Mormon eschatology, then? Enlighten me. Feel free to CORRECT me, rather than just to say "that's wrong".
Does the Mormon Church end up serving any role at all at the end?
The teachings of the church fall in line with preparing for the second coming of Jesus Christ, and seeking repentance and preparation. There is no such ideal as a "One World Government administered by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints". The belief is that Christ, himself will rule as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Moreover, there's a strong foundation in the concept of free agency, where people are still free to, and encouraged to make their own choices, rather than to just blindly follow the masses. We're meant to come to the Lord on our own, not through fear, guilt, and force, and that's if we come at all.
This all being said, you're the one who made the claims of some kind of "Mormon Global Order agenda". The concerns of the church are that people are spiritually prepared, meek, repentant, and loving, one unto another, not that "Mormons shall rule over all". That's nonsense. So, I ask again, where in the church doctrine is it cited that the church will administer over a one world government? If you're going to cite the eschatology again, then don't just use the word, use the actual definition, and everything that it entails to argue your point.
You're the one who made the initial claim. It's not on me to explain myself to you, it's on you to defend your claim with factual sources. What you said is wrong; I asked for your sources so that I could understand why you think such things about members of the LDS church. In turn, your attitude played out like:
"Trump killed a man!" "...no he didn't. Where did you hear that?" "Oh yeah!? Don't just say that I'm wrong, CORRECT me! Prove that Trump didn't kill a man!"
Doubling down on an argument doesn't make you correct, it just digs your hole deeper.
As for the church... serving a role? To what end? Do you mean as fulfilling the role that any religion does, as a provider and a bedrock of a belief system and a plane of morality? Because that's what it does - it's a religion, people follow it, and abide by its doctrines. So what? I'm not sure what kind of question that's supposed to be, it just kind of seems like a flailing retort meant to cover up nonsensical claims.
If JESUS rules the world at the end, its a Mormon Jesus who is LESS THAN the other, higher Mormon God that populated this Earth.
So I said "Mormon Church" rules at the end times. Oh, hurry up and pretend to instruct me by insisting "No its (the Mormon) Jesus" that rules. Distinction without a difference.
Did I say it wrong?
That's why I asked the question the way I did.
And why all the subterfuge? "Our 'Jesus' rules, NOT the Mormon Church." Then on to the word games about who God is and who Jesus is, right?
Word games out the arse...To confuse Christians who would object to the (Morman) Jesus' inferior status to (Mormon) God the Father.
Christians/Mormans: Our Gods are not the same.
BTW--None of the clarity that IS possible is made available by the Mormon Church teachings/materials because they focus so heavily on recruiting Christians.
Honestly, it just seems like you're being contentious for the sake of brewing conflict. I don't know what your history with the church is, but I can tell that you don't have a properly informed understanding of the doctrine of the church itself, and I don't believe that you're interested in learning it either, just that at best, you have a flawed understanding of church doctrine, and at worst, you want to take what is taught, and twist it into some false narrative.
If the "Mormon Jesus" - and what a laughable distinction that is - is as the LDS church describes, then what, exactly, is the contention? What, there going to be a "Protestant Jesus" or a "Catholic Jesus" or a "Baptist Jesus" waiting in the wings? No. Jesus Christ is Jesus Christ. If there is no Jesus Christ, and no God as Christianity believes - and make no mistake, the LDS church is a subsect of Christianity, whether you wish to believe it or not - then, okay, we were wrong. But if there is, and Christ will come as the LDS believe, then does that automatically mean that there will be a "Mormon Global Order"? No, it doesn't, and that's an incredibly flawed and misstated take. Basically, all this boils down to is "Is the LDS understanding correct, or is it not?"
At the end of the day, it's a set of religious beliefs to base one's moral code on. If it's true, then it will play out, and if it's not, then nothing will happen. It is literally that binary. In the mean time, the teachings are there to inform church goers what ideals to strive toward, as is the case with literally every other religion and structured belief system. You make it sound like LDS Missionaries are going out and demanding that they "baptize in the name of Mormon", just for the sake of sewing confusion and contention. Rather, they are following their beliefs, and speaking to anyone who is willing to listen. Who are you to have a problem with that, with people making their own choices?
Moreover, why are you demonizing an entire group of people like that? To go back to the root of this, Romney is not a paragon of "Mormons", he's a corrupted politician whose adherence to the faith is extreme doubt. If you want to shit on him, go right ahead - you'll find many LDS members in agreement. But to shit on the entire religion, and by extension, everyone who follows it, as well? That's quite a bit more extreme.
