If mormon's spend a lot of time in the sun, can they still enter #1 top mormon heaven?

"O my brethren, I fear that unless ye shall repent of your sins that their skins will be whiter than yours, when ye shall be brought with them before the throne of God. (Jacob 3:8).

    I'd go with Isaiah 1:18 if you want to be a doofus with that example:

    "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."

    If your motivated enough by a burr up your rear end that you can't get over your past religion and feel the need to make something clearly allegorical racist - with your sun bathing example the idea of being red as evil is a whole lot closer of a match.

    Personally I have no idea why you include Jacob 3:8 in your rants, it makes it clear that we're talking allegories here, not literal stuff. Are you also upset at the hundreds of references in the bible to light and darkness and that light generally references knowledge? Do you think that outer darkness is a literal ghetto? It's clearly all metaphorical here, it's really sad that you're that offended by it.

    Read it again. It is not skin color, but righteousness which determines our state before God.
