Jesus was wrong

SCRIPTURE: “He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him. Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation. Behold, doth he cry unto any, saying: Depart from me? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; but he saith: Come unto me all ye ends of the earth, buy milk and honey, without money and without price. Behold, hath he commanded any that they should depart out of the synagogues, or out of the houses of worship? Behold, I say unto you, Nay. Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his salvation? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but he hath given it free for all men; and he hath commanded his people that they should persuade all men to repentance. Behold, hath the Lord commanded any that they should not partake of his goodness? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but all men are privileged the one like unto the other, and none are forbidden.” –2 Nephi 26:24-28. [source]

COMMENTARY: I’m completely baffled that any Christian can pretend that a policy barring children from full participation in the church because of the sins of their parents is even remotely Christlike. This is exactly opposite of what Christ himself said and what is said about Christ in the Book of Mormon. Those who claim to be Christian should, in my opinion, follow Christ. But what do I know? I’m just another apostate.
