[Faith-talk] My Take

Mon May 2 02:46:05 UTC 2011

Hi Curt,

The Bible says otherwise concerning accepting Christ after death. 
Please read Luke 16:19 through to the end of the chapter; John 
Chapter 3, and Hebrews 9:27. All religeons do not lead to eternal 
life in Heaven. There are many false teachers and many false 
doctrines being taught. The Bible is the only book that is inspired 
by God; see 2 Timothy 3:16.

By the way, the book of Mormon has been revised since its first 
writing, as in changed, updated.

Blessings,

Linda
