In a very general way I am in agreement, Mormons do make blessings available to all who seek it. But the Apostle Paul warns us, when he says, that when you did not know God, you serve them who by their nature are not gods? Now, that you know Father in heaven and are known by Him, why do you turn to these weak and beggarly vessels and desire captivity again?

The implication being, that we serve these weak and beggarly vessels to preserve our worldly blessings and ignore the actual source of from which all blessings flow.

That source is the Messiah Jesus of Nazareth. Many Mormons do not ignore this. After all we have 130 temples and 5 more under costruction, to serve Him by bringing our offering in purity.
