No three degrees of Glory in 1 Cor 15

[_gdemetz]

Yea, even the times when they would need to use the name of deity, the would remove the vowels.

He isn't talking about "degrees" of glory but contrasting how the resurrected body will be different from the earthly body....and he uses obvious thing to show how things we are familiar with appear to have differences...i.e. the sun, moon and stars are different from each other and so will the resurrected body be from the earthly body...it will be different. No one but Mormons read this passage as some kind of evidence for three heavens...it just isn't the topic of the passage no matter how you read it.

Gdemetz, you did not respond to my point on the MP, not mentioned anywhere in scripture except with reference to Melchizedek and to Jesus, and the use of the nails used to hold Christ to the cross as being the Mormon temple symbols of the priesthood you claim. If the cross is perceived as, and often claimed by Mormons to be a symbol of death, why suddenly are the nails less of a death symbol just because they are used in the temple?

Albion, you need to read that scripture again more carefully! "there is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another of the stars. For as one star differs from another in glory, SO ALSO IS THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD."

[_Albion]

Your problem, gedemtz, is that you are interpreting the word glory as synonymous with heaven. It isn't...the word is used in reference to the glorified body of the person resurrected. That body will be different from the earthly body in the same way the sun is different from the moon which is different from the stars. No comment again, I see, on the use of the nails that held Jesus to the cross as symbols of the Melchizedek priesthood in the temple. Very much in keeping with the occult and Satanic ritual and an insult to the holy Melchizedek Priesthood held only by Jesus. Only the adversary would glory in the nails that held the savior to the cross.

Aren't there three seperate degrees of glory within the celestial degree of glory?

[_gdemetz]

Albion, I don't know what you are talking about concerning the nails! Also, I am not confusing the two. The scriptures state that there are different degrees of glory of the resurrected bodies, and the scriptures also state that there are different heavens. It also has been revealed that the different glories are assigned to the different heavens, which should come as no big surprise! Try praying about this Albion. My God reveals things to me! It appears that you as well as many others are trying to rely on your own interpretation of the Bible, and that is the problem, and that is why there are so many false churches!

Well, there are three levels in the celestial kingdom.

[_Albion]

gdemetz, I'm not quite sure why you would say that you don't know what I am talking about re my comment on the nails that held Jesus to the cross. Think...what is the first token of the MP....what is the second token of the MP? Surely you have acknowledged them more than once or were you just not paying attention.

[_gdemetz]

Albion, that is only a TOKEN!

[_Albion]

Only a token? Only a token...you didn't really say that did you, gedemetz? I really think you should pay more attention next time. The temple ritual displays numerous indicators of just who "inspired" the temple ritual, not least of which is this additional evidence of a usurped priesthhood and the vilest of symbols used to throw it in the face of the only one worthy to hold it.
