Would you convert? (Jesus Christ, ritual, Earth, gospel, paradise)

Quite the contrary Jesus my Lord will be there according to scripture otherwise I would not want to be thee,Sorry ,I never actually read the first thread,but I get the just of the ones I did read,by the way the scriptures do indicate quite clearly that I as a christian will be with the LORD FOREVER contrary to popular LDS opinion and doctrine
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Jhn 14:3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.
Jhn 17:24Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

man, the afterlife is such mystery I wouldn't be surprised at anything.

U-uh, I'd never convert. Indulgence is too much fun... Then I'd rather play the martyr part. BTW, I don't believe in an afterlife, so the question would be rather irrelevant...lol

Actually, that makes the question even more relevant - as the question assumes finding yourself in an afterlife when you die. At that point the fact that you did not believe in an afterlife while you were alive is irrelevant - you are in fact in an afterlife.

This is all purely hypothetical, of course

Roli,

Actually, according to scripture, Jesus is is Heaven. My OP wasn't even about Heaven.

Well, since you never bothered reading the OP, I'll excuse your inability to comment intelligently on it.

By the way, you obviously know next to nothing about "popular LDS opinion." Would you like me to take that into account, too, before simply dismissing your comments as too far off the mark to even bother with?
