Do Latter-day Saints buy their way into heaven? Ep. 162

For Latter-day Saints, paying a full 10% tithe is a requirement for entrance into our temples, which is where we make sacred, exalting covenants with God. Does that mean that members of the church are buying a golden ticket to the Celestial Kingdom? Let's talk about it.

Notes:

— Please understand that temple recommend interviews are based on the honor system. You don’t have to present tax documents and tithing receipts to your bishop in order to prove that you are a full tithe payer. What it means to pay a “full” tithe is not strictly defined in the Church.
