I grew up going to church but I’m not religious now and I never really understood this part.
Please, no answers along the lines of “aha, that’s why Christianity is a sham” or “religions aren’t logical”. I don’t want to debate whether it’s right or wrong, I just want to understand the logic and reasoning that Christians use to explain this.
Under their rules you’re allowed repenting after death, as well. Actions in life only determine which of the three tiers of heaven you go to if you don’t decide to send yourself to “outer darkness”.
You’re right, some repentance after death is technically an LDS doctrine, however it isn’t widely accepted. But yes, our concepts of heaven and hell are more inclusive than the standard Christian binary.
