Must we sell all we have and follow Christ? Must we only obey those commandments Christ named in this one exchange to do God’s will?

WE?

No...

Just the 'young man'.

In no way does the speed limit in Israel determine how fast I drive in Indiana.

Yah, of course. My point was that Mormons don’t understand the Bible, they take single verses and build whole theologies upon them that contradict verse after plain verse, and chapter after chapter of plain scripture. The Bible must be read in whole, not in part. Salvation does not lie in just obeying the laws Christ mentioned to the rich man; it is not lost if you disobey one of those laws, and it does not lie in selling all you have and giving it to the poor. But this is the way Mormons treat scripture. A single verse and off they go galloping.

Mormons, you don’t have to wear special underwear or tithe to get into heaven. To see if that is the Mormon theology, just stop tithing and wearing the garments and see if they say that it is ok, you’ll still be in the highest heaven and your fellow Mormon’s will love you anyway . . .

And if they don’t say that it’s ok, well, then you know what your church actually believes instead of this nonsense sparring that you do here, pretense piled on word parsing, piled on avoidance, piled on . . . go ahead parse my words guys and gals. But then let everybody know that you won’t tithe or wear the garments and let me know if you are still saved and headed for heaven with your Mormon brethren.
