People of ancient Israel did not think much of Isaiah, until after they were taken by Babylon. Who has the right to judge a person or religion to make it to heaven. There is only One at the door of Heaven and that is Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 29: 13 "Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their reverence toward me is taught by the precept of men:"

In reference to Book of Mormon; 2 Nephi 25:23. Let me draw thy attention to the writings of Paul from the New Testament Romans 3:20 "Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for through the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Therefore being justified only by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:"

Also consider Romans 7:5 and James chapter 2. How well do you understand the atonement of Jesus Christ?

"Beauty is an all-pervading presence. It unfolds to the numberless flowers of the Spring; it waves in the branches of the trees and in the green blades of grass; it haunts the depths of the earth and the sea, and gleams out in the hues of the shell and the precious stone. And not only these minute objects, but the ocean, the mountains, the clouds, the heavens, the stars, the rising and the setting sun all overflow with beauty. The universe is its temple; and those people who are alive to it can not lift their eyes without feeling themselves encompassed with it on every side."
-William Ellery Channing quotes (American moralist, Unitarian Clergyman and Author, 1780-1842)-

With your love,kindness and patience you show towards others, you are fullfilling his will brother, and are a good example to others who seek to follow Jesus teachings.

LDS? Awesome! No wonder you just made sense every time you spoke.

The earth is older then Methuselah.

Thank you for those blessed reminders : )
oppostioin is every where and its a challenge not to react to it but i do my best

What our society needs is love that is true and unchanged not preached with seeds of hate to drive Christians to hate and not accept peoples beliefs. What we need is to get rid of preachers and churches which brainwash people in to thinking the Gospel is a doctrine of war and hate. The Gospel in truth is love and mercy, and that pertains to everyone! Not just you, Jesus Christ invites everyone, and it is not up to anyone who says who goes and who does not go to Heaven. Only the Holy One of Israel who is Jesus Christ chooses. Live for love - not hate.

No where in the New Testament is it written thou shall be a bigot, that thou should be stubborn and of complete intolerance to any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own faith, belief and or religion.

Think before you act, is it written from Jesus Christ to think and act such way?

Why we need further light and knowledge for progress.

It is very interesting that in our society we live everything by means of intellectual progress, like medicine for example. If we treated theology like medicine most would not live past 35 years of age, and the best treatment for illness would be to bleed the patient to get the illness out.

How insane would that be if one had access to better medicine and yet refused further light to progress, yet many live this way with their religion.

Yes, I need the Book of Mormon to fulfill the commandment from Jesus in John 17:3.
