I typically don’t really care if anyone reads this blog. It is for my own sanity. But this topic is one that I wish I could get answers to. I think the church teaches conflicting doctrine. We say we are Christian and that Christ’s message is the most important part of the church. However, here is my point:
Christ teaches that if we believe in him, our sins will be forgiven.
“Though your sins be as scarlet, they will be white as snow.”
vs.
The church teaches that there are 3 different kingdoms that we will be assigned to according to our works. To go farther, there are even different levels within each kingdom.
So how do we make sense of it all. Either we stand before Christ at Judgement Day and Christ says, “You believed in me, your sins are forgiven, enter my kingdom.” or he says, “Sorry, you didn’t have faith in me, you will go to hell.”
But the church is saying he will say, “You had faith in me, your sins are forgiven 80%, please go to level 3 of the Celestial Kingdom.”
So how are there differing levels of forgiveness? Either our sins will be forgiven or they will not, is this not true?
