Those who don’t get the chance to hear the gospel in this life will hear it in the next world and will have the opportunity for baptism through baptisms for the dead.

Which doctrine to believe. BOM states very clearly otherwise

ALMA 34:32: “For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their labors.”

Is the god of mormonism having trouble making up his mind? Could be problems with all the wives and their input.

I agree with the scripture from Alma, Godzilla — however it pertains to those who know about the the fulness of the gospel. The Book of Mormon chronicles the affairs of a people who had the fullness of the gospel, and in this passage Amulek is speaking to a group of people who have been taught the gospel and who have rejected it.

What about the billions who have lived and died without a knowledge of the gospel of Christ. Does God condemn them to eternal damnation because they happened to live in a time and place where the knowledge of God was not available to them?

We believe not — that all will receive an equal chance to accept Christ whether in this world or the world to come.

Regards,

Normandy
