I asked becauce you said 99.999999% people choose God, so I wondered why you do the rituals to save the unbelievers.

They are creepy because the bible says that after death there is judgement, but somehow the mormons think that they can do a ritual to save someone who has already died. It reminds me of VooDoo.

What an odd thing to say. Something tells me you didn't even bother to read what I said.

Sure ..... but you're not going to like it. And if you can take what Finn_Jaber said as not "bashing".... then I'll only say as little as possible.

"becauce you said 99.999999% people choose God..."

Jesus said "only a few find it."Matthew 7:14

Galatians 1:8-9 "we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel ...let him be accursed " KJV [ "eternally condemned" NIV].


Either
  • " you said 99.999999% people choose God" Finn_Jarber ....Today 11:31 AM
is preaching "any other gospel" Galatians 1:8-9

or
  • Jesus saying:
    • "only a few find it."Matthew 7:14
    • "many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other" Matthew 24:10
    • "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door," Luke 13:24
    • "because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to." Luke 13:24
    • "For many are invited, but few are chosen." Matthew 22:14
is preaching "any other gospel" Galatians 1:8-9

For me.....one of the versions "reminds me of VooDoo"

Twin.spin, you believe "it" is salvation. I believe "it" is exaltation.
