Here is the best summary I have been able to find so far of the Today Show discussion of “mystery religions” such as ours. (For the irony challenged, there’s some tongue in cheek action going on there regarding classifying the Church as a “mystery religion.”) It includes the following question and answer exchange between Matt Lauer and Manhattan stake President Brent Belnap:
Matt Lauer, Today Show Anchor: “Are you saying it’s (the Church) the only path to God and Salvation or are you presenting it as an alternative?
Brent Belnap/LDS Stake President, Manhattan: I think it’s more as an alternative. We give people the opportunity to choose just as every religion should have the ability to go out an share its message. We do say and believe that everybody will resurrect as a result of Jesus Christ. There are those who will also be exalted in the hereafter if they follow the teachings of Jesus Christ if they repent of their mistakes but that’s a choice that every individual should make.”
I’m not sure I agree with President Belnap’s answer (assuming it was quoted correctly). What say ye, M* readers?
