I'm not denying hell exists either - it is and will be the state of our consciences when we face what we did as well as realizing how good it could've been. But my cousin and people where I grew up actually believe God will literally toss people into a fire.... Eternal damnation is lack of progression literally as well as the acute awareness of how we treated others or how we sinned which was unrepented of. I'm trying to put it in my own words and, perhaps not doing so well.....

On other things about my own church which, incidentally I joined in 1975 (yah - i'm that old : ) there is, I say again, a lot of anti-Mormon rhetoric out there. Nothing I say is going to get anyone to listen to me and the proof is anything I say seems to be taken wrong. And yes, SS, I was being sarcastic.... I do know you all mean well, but its getting old. Seriously....YOU are listening to false sources who twist things. I am not whitewashing anything. I've been a member for 33 years in December. I KNOW WHAT WE BELIEVE. Please give it a rest.

I am not denying the divinity of the Bible, either. But if you knew your history you'd know things have been changed over the centuries which is why there are so many different religions. Honestly, Bex, I haven't disagreed in your interpretations. You have a problem with some of how we see things, but just don't quite get it. You're certainly valiant in what you do believe in! I admire that.

SS, I can't take you real serious any more. Abishag - bless you and your kind anti-Mormon words. Enough.
