Reasons Starting with Q

Queen of Heaven

Mormon Doctrine, pg. 613; If righteous men have power through the gospel and its crowning ordinance of celestial marriage to become kings and priests to rule in exaltation forever, it follows that the women by their side (without whom they cannot attain exaltation) will be queens and priestesses. (Rev. 1:6; 5:10.) Exaltation grows out of the eternal union of a man and his wife. Of those whose marriage endures in eternity, the Lord says, “Then shall they be gods” (D. & C. 132:20); that is, each of them, the man and the woman, will be a god. As such they will rule over their dominions forever.

Jeremiah 7:18; The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

First off man doesn’t have the ability to become kings in heaven.  There’s only one and the position has been filled.  Therefore, it only makes sense there would be no queens in heaven.

I remember as a Mormon it never occurred to me to do a word study comparing the Bible with the Book of Mormon and I just can’t imagine my life now not doing such a thing!

Questioning

Conference Report, October 1984, pg. 104; No true Latter-day Saint will ever take a stand that is in opposition to what the Lord has revealed to those who direct the affairs of his earthly kingdom. No Latter-day Saint who is true and faithful in all things will ever pursue a course, or espouse a cause, or publish an article or book that weakens or destroys faith.

1 Cor. 13:11-12; When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

The author of that statement is right.  No true Mormon would ever investigate what the leaders say.  It takes courage and a determination to know Jesus and Him crucified to do such a thing.
