Q: Some people think that God is an angry god looking to punish and condemn us? (Dad)
A: "He wants us to partake of salvation." (Mom) "Yes, the Lord is looking to save us not condemn us. Those who end up being condemned it's because they rejected His many invitations to repent and come unto Him." (Dad)

A: "No, but He says come unto me ye ends of the earth." (Kenyon)
Q: Does the Lord ever say that people shouldn't go to church? What about the wicked? (Dad)
A: "No." (Mom) "Yes, even for those who are excommunicated they are not turned away from coming to church. They cannot partake of the sacrament, hold callings, or give talks or lessons but they are welcome to come to church. In fact we want them to because the purpose of excommunication is to get them to repent fully so they can have theire blessings and ordinances restored to them. Remember the Lord's motivation is to save us, not condemn us, but He cannot save us if we are unclean." (Dad)
Q: So what does the Lord want us members of the church to do? (Dad)
A: "To get all men to repent." (Mom) "Yes, to persuade and encourage all men to repent and come unto Him." (Dad)
Q: Are there people who the Lord doesn't care if they are saved, like those who are not the covenant people, or the gentiles? Does the Lord care more about one race of people or gender? (Dad)
A: "No." (Brandon) "Correct. It says all men are privileged like unto each other and none are forbidden from partaking of His salvation. The Lord wants to save everyone." (Dad)
