I have a question which is very important to me so I hope to get some serious answers. I was raised in the church. I have never had any issues or concerns about any doctrine except, and this is a big one, the need for a savior. I just can't understand why it would be necessary. We came here to earth to learn to be like Heavenly Father. I can do that by following the teachings of the gospel and serving my fellow man. The reason people always give (in and out of the scriptures) is that he has to make up for our failings with the law, but what forces us to go to Heaven or Hell? Heavenly Father? If we learn to be like him, then why would he send us to Hell when we have learned to be godly? Just because we did something wrong 50 years ago? I am not tryig to be rediculous in any way. This has just never made sense to me and I am hoping someone will say something that will set my mind at ease.
