RE: Here is a interesting thought
You know thinking some more about this the story of the prodigal son takes on a much deeper meaning as well!

We were a lessor son/younger son and told out Father he was dead to us. We demanded our inheartance (the earth) and we did what we wanted (Whatever it is you are doing with your life.) As some point for some of us we ran out of money and got tied of sleeping with pigs Wink and wanted to go Home. Because we knew that our Father's slaves are treated better than this world treats us, so we in our hearts return as slaves, and Before we even get there (after this life is over) God Runs out to great us places a ring on our finger (Restores us to prominence/position in the Family) and celibrates our return!

I need a diagram.

Also, is this storytelling time or something?

That is how Christ taught, with stories.

That is how we got the story/parable of the prodigal son.

Of the fictional variety, of course.

What about those poor trillions of people who lived and died before God chose to finally let the curtain drop on a pile of sand on Sinai peninsula? They never had a chance to see the truth and they are therefore burning in hell, aren't they? Unbaptized, unchristianed, ignorant of the Lord? What about all those billions and billions who simply grew up in a different tradition, like Hinduism or Buddhism? Are you really suggesting they're being punished for no fault of their own and that even though God supposedly created them he did so in a way in which they stood no chance of salvation.

It's all such a load of egocentrical, narrow-minded bull-crap it's beyond belief (pun intended).

Are you implying that you're about to preach?

(FYI, you can trust me when it comes to what is and isn't Mormon Doctrine, but if you insist, I'll get you some sources.)

They are to be judged by God.

Quote:They never had a chance to see the truth and they are therefore burning in hell, aren't they?
We do not know what they saw or why they were born first.

'christians' or people who call themselves that won't be the only one in heaven.
Christ did not say no one comes to the Father, but by Christianity. Christ is the finial judge and he will decide who is 'Christian' and who is not. The titles we give ourselves are meaningless.
