That is so funny when you tell me what you think I believe. And then you tell me I don’t really believe what I believe. I think that’s funny.
This just in, the official word from my Church:
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of God the Father in the flesh. He was the Creator, He is our Savior, and He will be our Judge. Under the direction of our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ created the earth. Through His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and by giving His life on the crossthat is, by performing the AtonementJesus Christ saves us from our sins as we follow Him. Through His Resurrection, Jesus Christ saves us from physical death. Because He overcame death, we will all be given the gift of resurrection.
We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel" (Articles of Faith 1:3).
Through Christ's atonement and our own obedience to the laws and ordinances.
Would you mind telling our reading audience exactly what that entails precisely? What are the laws and ordinances? How do you know when you've been obedient?
