This is the Easter season, and it is a time that the One does some talking as well as dying and then rises from the dead after three days. That is what it is all about.
The last time that Jesus specifically talks about the last judgment, all the nations will be assembled before him. He will separate them one from another as the shepherds divide sheep from goats.
Who gets to heaven in this story? The person who does right and believes, feeds the hungry, and welcomes the stranger. The being who does not choose such good deeds may well go to Hell, according to the Scriptures. These are not isolated verses, because there are maybe thousands of them, and they are in most books of the Bible. I am not postulating for any religion, denomination, sects or division.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There are those that refer to us as Mormons. On Easter Sunday I will partake of the Sacrament, bread and water representing the body and blood of Jesus Christ. But this is not unique to Easter Sunday; this is a part of our regular Sabbath services.
Regarding the April 1st opinion offered by Robert K. Holliday, please allow me to clarify a few things. First, the Bible we used is the King James Version. The Book of Mormon is another book of scripture we uses, but it witnessed of the truthfulness of the Bible, it does not replace it. Second, there are no Mormon cathedrals. We have chapels that we go to on Sunday and there are temples, but they are no
As a lifetime active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) I am puzzled by your post. As ZeonS notes, The Church has no "Cathedrals". Our regular churches are open to all who desire to attend. Our Temples are for observant members only. But your account of people wearing aprons while entering the "Cathedral" (Temple?) cannot be correct either because any ceremonial clothing worn as part of the Temple ordinances is not used outside of the Temple and is only put on after the member is inside and would not be visible from the outside or even in the foyer.
As a result I wonder if you attended someone else's Church rather than our Mormon church. I believe that it is important to get the facts straight and would urge you to do so before you write again about the Mormons.
Others prefer to celebrate the archetypal death and resurrection of a mythological jewish man/god deity. To each their own, I guess. But I'm not sure why they call it Easter, for as noted above, Easter (Ishtar) is the "goddess" of fertility, war, love, and other things from way back in Gilgamesh's (Noahs) time.
But I am having more fun than the puritans, for sure.
Nice story Mr. Holliday.
