There should be plenty of wine...
Brilliant!
I suppose they assume Jesus is going to keep the Federal Reserve open. :eek:

God is not a socialist!:mad:
He gave us life. He gave us free will. He gave us the universe. He gave us the Earth and dominion over it. He gives out free bread, fish and wine. He can't figure out how the wealthy will get into Heaven. It sounds kind of like socialism to me.

If it is a war, both sides will be fighting (harming), so how will it be determined which is which? The fog of war will be very confusing. Maybe some of that money can be used to develop a righteousness tricorder or something like that. I can help set up the R & D program. For a reasonable, but lucrative fee.

When uncertain phasers can be set on stun. Did I mention phasers? For just a little more money, we can develop those as righteous less than lethal technology.
The righteous side will be those that wish to help everyone and the wicked side will be those that wish to harm people. The Book of Mormon goes into a lot of detail.

The righteous are those who are always trying to do better at being upright with humanity and encouraging its prosperity. The wicked are the vain and proud who want to just thrive on harming others.

You figure out the war logistics yourself. The war will be logical.

It would be people in all locations and beliefs on either side, but the winning side would be small.

So there will be Mormons and non-Mormons on both sides of this war?

It seems retarded now because it's just barely on the horizon, but there will have to be a physical fight.

That's not what I asked. Are you training for the war, i.e. training on use of weapons, prepping for nuclear winter, planning the military strategy, etc.?

Please try to understand the nature of the fight. The righteous, whoever they are, will be for righteousness which means they want to do everything upright and encourage others to. The wicked, whoever they are, will be for harming each other. They might want to take out a person on the good side if it helps them in that quest. They will be seriously destructive because they live off of harming each other.

Believe me, I'm trying to understand. Why would people who are allies intentionally harm each other?

The wealthy can get into Heaven. But they should seek the kingdom of God first if they're not born with it.

What if while helping people you are required to harm people? The righteous, no doubt, will have the unerring ability to know who to harm and who needs help. It should have been obvious to me. What was I thinking?

War is logical?

Those that receive help and then feel they shouldn't work is a problem. We want people to do work because the path to Heaven is also difficult.
How are those people determined prior to helping them? Is there a special way to do that inherent to the righteous? That is going to cut into my righteousness tricorder business

It depends on what you mean by Mormon. If Mormon means that you are good, regardless of whether you've been baptized or know about my Church, then it would be Mormons against non-Mormons.
If by Mormon you mean a member of my Church, there are bad members of my Church and good people who aren't members.

No, we are not training in any military tactics. The military comes to our Missionary Training Centers to see how we do it because we train for preaching better then they train for fighting. We don't look to them for advice.

If they were allies then there wickedness would not be because of how they treat each other but their wickedness would be determined by if they fought other groups and why and what were the nature of those other groups; do they seek to harm other groups?

Well I suppose God will need other people's money to fund heaven.

If they don't know what they're doing, then I should leave my Church. Every life is precious. Any harm of people is wicked if it is intended.
