God's purpose is to help anyone that wishes eternal life to achieve it

Smvoice, All: Whenever a Mormon, say, like StormPrepper, uses the words "eternal life"...ask him/her to define them.

Here's a link that uses Mormon leaders themselves re: how they define "eternal life":
THE TOP TEN MOST SURPRISING 'MORMON TEACHINGS' ABOUT MORMON HEAVEN and AFTER-LIFE [Vanity]: #5: "Eternal life" is redefined to be an exclusive term that applies to temple Mormons ONLY! "Eternal life" is thus reserved for legalistically abiding Mormons ONLY. "Eternal life" does NOT = ALL living forever with Heavenly Father; 'tis ONLY applies for those who EARN exaltation...and "exaltation" is a Mormon by-word for becoming a god! Hence, to the Mormon, resurrection alone does not = eternal life.

In the chart provided at the above link, the second column provides FIVE distinct Mormon sources undergirding what is written.

Thanks very much for the info. I’m not at all well read on Mormon doctrine. But from what little I do know, I think it’s just enough to let me know I don’t want to go there!
