I went to sleep with my headphones on last night and woke up to a scripture that explains who will be saved very clearly, too clearly in fact to ignore. Did Jesus Christ organize a religion called Christianity? If not, what was the name of his church? I believe His church in early times was named "The Church of Jesus Christ" This scripture warns that within four generations of His death it wouldn't look the same.
I also believe that it was
preserved in the form of a book
hidden from those who would want to wreck it,
for the specific purpose of coming forth in our day,
this last gospel dispensation before the second coming,
to come forward in its purity,
to help the earth align itself to truth,
and to God,
to prepare the earth for the second advent of Jesus Christ.Modern and postmodern Christianity rejects this book because it tells about the wreck that is taking place today. There are wrecks all around us everywhere, so why do we get offended when God tells us there is going to be a wreck if we don't repent? Pride I suppose.

disclaimer: if anyone chooses to read the scripture link please don't read it through a mormon lens, thinking that I am saying that only mormons will be saved, because that is not what it is saying, and it's not what I believe. Read it through the lens of Jesus Christ, as if He were speaking directly to you personally, because in effect, He is. This shouldn't offend any other religion because it is only talking about one, the religion of Jesus Christ, and if that one cannot be respected and recognized by others, then there is no respect for religious freedom anywhere.> >
