Could this all be false?

[Anonymous]

I’ve thought this many, many times — and even accept the fact that it may all be false.

But I don’t think there will be condemnation for spreading the LDS gospel. I do believe God will judge the integrity of our hearts and actions. That he will reward good living, that he will grant us allowance. I believe he will grant us allowance because face it – he has NOT made it clear what is true beyond this life. Sure, we have the words or prophets, and even scripture, but there is a lot of evidence that its no reliable. The priesthood disavowal is a good example of prophets leading people astray for decades. For me, the churchcentricity of our religion is a huge indicators that we have church that is not an extension of God to the extent I would expect.

I do believe in a just God that will be fair with us. even those of us with supposed testimonies. He will look at our circumstances, at our choices, and what we did for others in this life.

I would also like to quote, again a great quote from Marcus Aurelius that bears on this OP:

Quote:

Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.

I would like that framed on my wall.

Well said SD, i agree totally. I appreciate everyones input. My conscience has subsided for now and i can sleep better. Like DBMORMON said too….i feel pulled into this community of believers even if sometimes logic states otherwise…sometimes i think that is the whole test God has put before us, to believe even when there is the chance to not.
