Because love is all that really matters. The gospel of Jesus Christ is centered in love and all things evolve around the principle of love. I’ve told you that I love Jesus and am headed towards him. But you don’t seem to accept that.
I don’t feel you love me. It seems all you want to do is put me down. I’m ready to die right now, today, and go to Jesus. I can do that with or without your permission or blessing. I can feel God's love for me. It is real. Your love doesn't come through your posts.

Christ said: "If you love me keep my commandments"
The discerning of those whose names should be numbered with the church and those who need help to repent fully so that the church is not destroyed is one of the MOST important commandments Christ gave in the Book of Mormon. This commandment was not just of Christ himself but that the Father required him to give it. See 3 Nephi 18 and Mormoni 6.
Other commandments of Christ the LDS Chruch tramples upon:
1. Allowing the unclean to enter the House of the Lord. D&C 94:8-9
2. Not seeking to bring forth and establish Zion.(too many to cite)
3. Not bringing forth fruit meet for the Father's kingdom to not say but do according to that which is written D&C 84
4. Not calling people according to the gifts of God. D&C 20:60
5. Conduct all meeting by the power of the Holy Ghost. D&C 46:2
For starters
And as far as the importance of getting it right Christ said:
D&C 39:18
And inasmuch as they do repent and recieve the fulness of my gospel, and become sanctified, I will stay mine hand in judgment.
The hand of judgment has not been stayed and will now fall upon the world.
