I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

All kidding aside, it is so *insane* & *shocking* & *dangerous* that Corporate Media has collectively decided to completely bury objective fact that the President is uninformed, confused, and physically & mentally deteriorating.

I believe the same. Jesus's harshest words were against hypocrites. And when he described the judgment (Matthew chapter 25), he talked only about kindness and empathy and not about beliefs. "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 1/3

That being said, it's still incumbent on us to repent when we sin, which all of us do, and such repentance is only made possible through Jesus's atonement and the grace of God. And to attain the highest degree of glory we must be cleansed from all sin because no unclean thing can dwell with God.
John Colton (@johncolton.bsky.social) reply parent
My view unsurprisingly matches that of my church (Church is Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints): people are basically good, and all of us have the light of Christ inside of us. Consequently, rather than a heaven vs hell dichotomy we typically speak of "degrees of glory".
