5 Therefore, as Aaron entered into one of their synagogues to preach unto the people, and as he was speaking unto them, behold there arose an Amalekite and began to contend with him, saying: What is that thou hast testified? Hast thou seen an angel? Why do not angels appear unto us? Behold care not this people as good as thy people?
6 Thou also sayest, except we repent we shall perish. How knowest thou the thought and intent of our hearts? How knowest thou that we have cause to repent? How knowest thou that we are not a righteous people? Behold, we have built sanctuaries, and we do assemble ourselves together to worship God. We do believe that God will save all men.
A- ha! So that's what they teach! "We have no need for a savior because we have no need to repent because God will save everyone." What an easy doctrine and still so prevalent today. Yes, God has saved everyone in that we will all be receivers of the resurrection, but exaltation, is different. We can't live the life God lives unless we live the kind of life God lives. And we can't do that without continual repentance. And we can't do that without the Savior, Jesus Christ, who was the only one who could pay the price for our sins- which He died, because of His love. We owe Him everything. And He- will give us- everything.
