We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

It all depends on your interpretation of the bible. But if you are curious about what we believe about Paul, then the lds articles of faith are a good place to start.

I hate to be rude, but you completely side-stepped my question.

Again, Paul says that marriage is not necessary, in fact, he states that it is better for man to not marry and then he goes into how we should act if we do marry. Paul essentially states that whether marriage is good for a person depends on the individual. I'm not totally sure how you could interpret that another way, but I'm more than willing to listen to how you interpret it.

This directly contradicts the LDS statement that marriage is necessary, in this life or the next. Speaking of marriage in the next life, Mark 22:30 states that there will be no marriage in the resurrection. Again, I'm more than willing to listen to how it could be interpreted differently, this is just my view on it.

It reads as an entitlement mentality...like he looks at his church as it is there to entertain him like some bacha bazi ritual.

I don't remember anyone in the bible saying that we should not get married.

I don't know how to explain the one about how we are neither married or given in marriage in the next life, and I don't think it matters. I don't think you have to get married to gain salvation, but there are a lot of Mormons who do think that. In fact, a lot if Mormons think the part of the bible that you mentioned about not being married in the next life is "translated incorrectly" and that is how they explain things.

The thing about the bible is that it is full of contradictions, and most Christian sects are based in their interpretation of the bible. You say, how could one interpret it any differently? How could anyone interpret "love your neighbor" differently than "love everyone"? Yet there are plenty if Christians who hate Muslims, hate lgbt, hate anyone who is different.

In my interactions with Christians, I have seen as many different ways to view the word of god as there are followers of his.
