Yes indeed, it would be interesting BUT " today " is not what the " Great Commentary " was talking about. I was wondering what they would think of the commentary speaking of their lives in their times regarding all their work and sacrifice, helping others find the Lord. Peace, Ceebooboo

No offense at all my friend :) ( Although my guess would be that they certainly would label it something different than a " great commentary ") I respect and fully relaize the LDS MUST of the " Great Apostasy ". I was simply wondering if many of the Early Church Fathers would have thought of it a a " Great Commentary " ( That's all, something to simply think about ):) Peace, Ceebooboo

Hello bytor,:) I wonder if Ignatius, Polycarp, Ireneus, Augustine, Clement ( to name a mere few ) would also think it was a " Great commentary "?? Peace and God bless Ceebooboo

Oh, I just thought of another thing I LOVE about my spouse that is different!!! Her ear lobes get REAL WARM :):):) I LOVE it in the winter at bed time. While spooning her, I place my cold nose against her ear lobe ( A MARVELOUSLY COMFORTING FEELING !!) Thanks for that honey!!:) Ceebooboo

My Dear Bride :) My second toe IS NOT longer, NOR IS IT BENT SIDEWAYS !!!:mad: It IS IN PERFECT harmony with the rest of my toes. ( If you don't believe me, just ask my foot ) The singing thing, I will grant you. I know few words to songs but indeed LOVE to sing for you.:) Peace, Ceebooboo ( Your long, bent toed hubby :))

I will start :) My DEAR spouse has a finger ( pointing one ) that is slightly bent at the tip. ( It also is REALLY cool when she is mad at me and points it at me :)) I ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT !!!:):) ( gives her hand unique character that I simply adore :)) Peace, Ceebooboo

Hi Blusun7, Thanks for the reply.:) To be transparent ( sorry if I was not ) I am not LDS. The reason for my starting this thread was NOT to question the validity of the teaching ( That is not my purpose ), it was to try and gain perspective of what LDS teaches from LDS members in regards to the " levels " of heaven that is taught. At any rate, I do appreciate your contribution and I also admire your " energy " for your faith.:) Peace, Ceebooboo

Thanks for sharing the wit :) I was nervous that you wouldn't touch any word starting in " poly "

Indeed Moksha ( Good to see you on the boards :)) And do not forget Mother Theresa, Polycarp, Ignatious, ( to name a few ) will be in the lower level as well.:)

Hi Just A Guy, :) Thanks so much for sharing your perspective with me. I say the following with enormous respect and ONLY as a mere thought ( NOTHING ELSE ) Do LDS folks wonder how we non LDS people digest or recieve all this info ??? Anyway, thanks for your contributions here :) Peace, Ceebooboo

Thank you all for the replys :) I must say I remain very confused But do indeed appreciate the time and effort on my behalf :) So the " sealings " that ya'll do arent really " sealed " rather a " maybe " if and when both parties live a good Mormon life, no???? Some seem to indicate to me that " Yes, the man and wife WILL be together forever " and others seem to indicate " NO, they will be able to choose NEW spouses for eternity "?? Thanks again for the replys :) Ceebooboo

I was reading some things regarding the LDS teaching on " levels " of Heaven. This is where my confusion is: If you ( say a woman ) is sealed to your husband and you ( the woman ) lives a very good Mormon life and reaches the highest level of Heaven but your husband falls a little short of the highest level of heaven, then what??? Are you forever seperated from the spouse you were sealed to??? What if the man reached Exaltation ( A God ) and his wife fell short of the highest level?? Would the Man have to find other wives in the highest level to have spirit children with to populate their Earth?? Another question I have: I, as a non LDS believer, can only reach the " middle " level ( right ??). Then will I be with the Mormons who fell a little short?? Another question: The lowest level ( is still heaven, right???) Then there is NO HELL??? All will be in heaven, just different levels?? Not sure if I am making any sense but I am REALLY confused by this teaching. Any insight or perspective would be appreciated. Peace, Ceebooboo ( formely Ceeboo:))

Sounds to me like someone needs to explain all this to your son's Daddy ( your hubby ):):) LOVE YOU TONS!!!!! Ceebooboo

Hello Faded, Thanks for the reply. A very short response as to not take away from the OP's thread. To be fair, I am confident that some ( the OP's girlfriends Father included ) would freely place, as you have done, the labels of "closed minded as taught to do" ," prejudice that has been taught all thier lives " and such to LDS as well. It is my humble opinion that we ALL must stop the " My way or I walk " and start understanding that we ALL might be a little bias and prejudice ourselves and allow the Lord to guide us in our journeys. Peace, Ceebooboo

You suggest: " Is she so blinded by her own preconcieved bigotry against our beliefs " ??? Not sure how old the OP's girlfriend is but I would guess by this thread that they both ( OP and girlfriend ) are very young and are both at early stages of their journeys. Not sure either of them ( especially the girlfriend who is not here to comment ) desreve the labels you placed on her. To the OP: Hello, I am not LDS so I will keep this brief: If you truly love this young lady be patient and continue your path of courtship with her. God is driving the bus, be still and God bless you BOTH on your journey.:) Peace, Ceebooboo
