- - - - - - You are right that unless we agree on just what any "salvation" gets us in the future (or where)... it is an exercise in talking past one another to talk about how one gets that salvation. I posed a question earlier and no one has responded.... I doubt that the terrestrial and telestial kingdoms EXIST AT ALL! I see in Rev. 20:15 that if one's name is not in the book... it is the lake of fire... and if one's name IS in the book (Rev. 21:24-27) it appears those saved ones will have access to the very throne of God. MY QUESTION IS: What other options can there be besides name in book....and name not in book? It looks like heaven/hell choices to me. ? ? ? Pilgrim 2

Want to sharpen skills in witnessing for future use with family or whoever....and am open to hearing if LDS have answers to questions that I have. And you?? Pilgrim2

Christian.... but very interested in LDS doctrine because of family... and you?

John 14: 2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. I think if there was only 1 place in heaven, with 1 reward of glory, then this scripture would be worded very different. - - - - - - Hello... I'm new... but just would comment that I have always figured that the Father's HOUSE must be where the Father lives... so did not think it should include other "glories". The other thing that I have not been able to get past in this discussion of how many destinations there are is this: Rev. 20:15 says if your name is NOT in the book of life, your destiny will be the lake of fire.... but Rev. 21:24-27 says that if your name IS in the book of life, your destiny will be in a place spoken of as the new heaven and earth, with open gates between the two, and it would appear...access to the very THRONE of God. I checked this in the Joseph Smith translation... and it read the same. I just don't see any other options besides the name in book, and name not in book. Do you ?? Pilgrim2
