“Call me a heretic, but the God I love is merciful enough to look the past the externals and judge the heart”
Then you must be a heretic. It’s very clear. The only path to Heaven is through Jesus Christ . . . I didn’t write the Bible . . . God did. If you want to try to toddle into Heaven by believing what a rather iffy-character dreamt up back in the early 1820s, then, so be it. I will rely on God’s written word . . . not that of a mortal and horribly imperfect human being with a very shady pre-morman past.
I believe in Jesus Christ and I sincerely love Him. But i think your belief system is really sad. It makes Him sound almost as intolerant as the Muslim’s allah.
