But my point to all, is that I'm not so sure that hell is a place where everyone who doesn't believe a certain way will end up -- I fail to believe that good people, be they Muslim, Mormon, or even Baptist will go to hell. <BR/><BR/>M -- Never thought so. Even when before I became a "recovering Baptist."Carmelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03530338980142634057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477208.post-17584072606329687052007-09-18T20:04:00.000-07:002007-09-18T20:04:00.000-07:00I'm glad you don't think I'm going to hell. ;>) Mi...I'm glad you don't think I'm going to hell. ;>) Miss you!Melessa Gregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13389345997489197531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477208.post-73132804515700898262007-09-17T20:08:00.000-07:002007-09-17T20:08:00.000-07:00You may need to get some more knowledgeable friend...You may need to get some more knowledgeable friends. Mormons belief in Jesus as their Prophet, Priest and King. So Prophet yes, but much more as well. As a lifelong member of the LDS faith for almost 40 years I can attest that we have always preached that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Messiah, the Holy One of Israel and yes, our personal Savior as well as the Savior of all mankind (whether they know it or not). <BR/>However, we do not believe that all people who do not belief such are automatically condemned to hell. Of course the theological explanations on this point could take up several nice long articles.<BR/>Given how easy it is to misunderstand the religious beliefs and practices of other faiths, the real point should be that we should be choosing our leaders on what they stand for rather than on their particular religious tradition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
