Hi Rekhyt......I have teachings that you have never heard from anyone...also if you opened your heart and your mind...you will see that they are true....
The CROSS:
LDS do not focused only on the Cross for the means of salvation.
Salvation is found in the whole Life of Christ not just on those few moments on the Cross. God did forgive sins in the OT as well as when he walked the earth.
1:
Christ lived a life of perfection to show that it is possible for men to do. And so His commandment In Matthew 5:48 to be as perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect is not left unfulfilled or taught by the blind that it is impossible to live this commandment.
2.
Christ suffered and bled so that He could forgive those who repented enough to cast away their hardened hearts. This is the whole aim of repentance. If a man cannot hear GOD in his heart...he has not repented enough.
Hebrews 3:15 -
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
If in these last days which are also the times of the restitution of all things...men continue to keep their hardened hearts and continue to force on God their own terms of salvation then they shall be damned spiritually. Which means unable to progress. Men who after read the bible and this post continue to refuse to hear GOD in their hearts are recreating in their life the conditions that lead to the "Provocation of the Lord".
3.
Jesus died and Resurrected: So that He could bring both the Just and the unjust into judgment before the Father.
Acts 24:15 - And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow,
that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
This is the plan of Salvation that Christ came and delivered to Men.
Further symbology on the CROSS:
The Cross is a tree that goes from the Ground and points straight to heaven. On the way up there is/are a
CROSS BEAM (s) that represent the
left [Error] and the
right [Zealousness] that men choose because they do not hear GOD in their heart. No man can get by those
"Cross Roads" by relying on his own wisdom and knowledge. Men left to themselves will invariably choose the Left or the Right and so their way to heaven is stopped perhaps permanently.
-----------------------------------------------------
I have told you the truth...The Christians have abominable doctrines if they had been right....I can positively state to you ...that the Midwest also known as the bible belt would not be suffering storms, droughts and floods in biblical proportion..simply because the Lord will spare the wicked if there are enough men living righteously. And "righteously" means...Doing the Right according to God's Right. (hearing by God voice.)
You will not ever get these precious truths as I have given them to you from Pastors or any Christian religion. So if you go...where will you go?
Who has the words of Eternal Life?
These things which I am giving you tonight... are amongst those things that the Lord could not give to His own apostles before He was taken to be crucified....
"I have yet many things to say unto you..but ye cannot bear them now."
Now that the cross is solved and you know the truth was is your next issue?
Peace be unto you

To start with, one of my issues with church doctrine is the subject of the Cross. Personally, I wear a Cross, but according to the church website, mormons are not supposed to wear the symbol of the cross because, “the Savior lives, [So] we do not use the symbol of His death as the symbol of our faith.” My opinion on the subject, is that the symbol of Christ's' death, the Cross, is the symbol of Christianity because without his death there would be no religion.
So my question is, why? I do not understand why the fact that Christ lives means that we should not wear a Cross. I ask for any further explanation and/or opinions on the subject.
