Its a really stupid comment. The Church preaches everyone will have the ordinance performed. I mean right now, the Church can't go back before 1500 to proxy ordain people, because there are no records. But you know, in the 1,000 years of righteous beauty, they will get everyone through the power of God's all-knowing everyone (except for those whom he ends up telling he never knew them).
So, in the end, who exactly is profoundly disadvantaged?
God can only do what he can do with what he’s got.
You’re obviously not going to be of much help. Unfortunately throughout the ages the story has been the same. Most people, for one reason or another, are going to reject the fullness of the gospel. The ordinances of salvation/exaltation can only be performed within the constraints of what is possible.
God needs more hands than his to do his work.
And who’s to say that within the framework of eternal time there aren’t those that are hopeful to have these ordinances done sooner rather than later.
If you break your smartphone or its not performing its functions correctly, how long do you want to wait before getting a new one? Are there things you are unable to do without one? Getting one sooner rather than later is a real benefit.
