Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior and Redeemer of all declared “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes unto the Father but by me”. (John 14:6 LE, John 9:7 RE)
The vast majority of religious institutions and devilish doctrines currently across the face of the earth proclaim you must believe in and hold sacred a particular tenet of faith or that you must gain entrance into Gods kingdom through a proxy here. That is very dangerous ground.
I have heard from many that I have to have a belief in specific version of the trinity as established by human creed rather the words that proceed out of the mouth of the Lord. they would proclaim a litmus for their twisted gospel.
I have been told I must believe in a rigid institutional structure that puts mankind in hierarchy over others and subjugate to them to receive blessings and salvation here.
These are terrible lies that proceed from darkness.
Nephi, in supplication to the Lord after his father’s death declared “O Lord, I have trusted in thee and I will trust in thee for ever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh, for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh.” (2 Nephi 4:34 LE, 2 Nephi 3:8 RE)
The Lord has proclaimed that He and only He is the guardian at the gate. Jacob Nephi’s brother and Priest to the people said the following “O then, my beloved brethren, come unto the Lord, the Holy One. Remember that his paths are righteous. Behold, the way for man is narrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel; and he employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is his name.” (2 Nephi 9:41 LE, 2 Nephi 6:11 RE) Jacob didn’t try and proclaim himself a spiritual intermediary and lift himself up. He deferred and pointed to Christ.
This is not an authority that God delegates to man. It is Christs and Christs alone.
