  1. Biggest differences in the degrees of glory revealed to us, that I read, is in the Celestial Kingdom we will all be part of eternal families, in likeness of families formed here in this mortal life. A father, mother and children. In the other two glories there are no eternal families like this. In my opinion, the lower degrees of glory will have congregations of people that have recreation and work together to accomplish goals. I think individual friendships will also exist in the lower glories, but there will be no marriages.
  2. Every parable or symbol has limitations or boundaries. Try not to look beyond the mark with a symbol or parable. For example: Jesus Christ is the good shepherd. We are His sheep. Is Jesus planning on shearing off our wool and killing us someday for food?
  3. Very little is revealed on the 2nd Heaven (Terrestrial Kingdom). We know there are different degrees in the Telestial and Celestial Kingdoms, but nothing is revealed on the Terrestrial. There are likely hundreds of degrees in Telestial Kingdom, but only three in the Celestial. The Telestial Kingdom will also have the most inhabitants according to my understand of Doctrine & Covenants 76 verse 109: "But behold, and lo, we saw the glory and the inhabitants of the telestial world, that they were as innumerable as the stars in the firmament of heaven, or as the sand upon the seashore;" I am grateful for all the light and knowledge revealed in Doctrine & Covenants Section 76.
  4. Silver markets are being manipulated presently. Silver should be up to at least $34 per ounce, in my opinion. But, as of today, silver is close to $25.39 per ounce. All these fraud traders are selling their fake, paper silver certificates that are backed by nothing but lies of what silver they have in their vaults or safes. In 2021 J.P. Morgan paid $920,000,000 to settle an investigation into their manipulating the silver markets. They also paid an additional $15,700,000 lawsuit brought by other investors who said the manipulation had caused them significant financial losses. They are very likely still doing it today to the silver markets along with others.
  5. I wonder if, or when, SpaceX will break the speed record for humans? The fastest astronauts have ever traveled is 24,816.1 miles per hour with the Apollo 10 space craft according to what I read. It was May 29th 1969 when that speed record was set. Going fast costs a lot of money.
  6. In my estimate, I have paid around $51,000 into Social Security over my life of working and I will probably never collect it. Give the Federal Government control of part of your retirement funds. What could possibly go wrong? Social Security is the biggest Ponzi scheme ever created in my opinion.
  7. There is plenty to complain about in life, but it does not bring joy. Gratitude for blessings in all that the LORD has given us brings joy. I need to work on this, a lot. "Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time when their corn and wine increased. I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep; for Thou Lord only, makest me dwell in safety." -- Psalms 4:7-8
  8. People have short memories when they talk about January 6th 2021. In 2005, thirty-two Democrats in Congress including Barbara Boxer attempted overturn the results of the presidential election by objecting to Ohio's electoral votes in an attempt to elect John Kerry. In 2016, celebrities saturated the media asking in December that the State electors swing vote for Hillary Clinton in the presidential election instead of Donald Trump. Elections have been contested throughout history in America. They will continue to do so in the future as well as long as America exists.
  9. I do not trust most of our elections now with the ballot harvesting, ballot curing and no identification in the current voting process. See the thread where I spoke against it here: https://thirdhour.org/forums/topic/75323-divided-country/page/3/#comment-1091247 We need to put a lot of restrictions on vote by mail and require previously registered voters to show up at the polls with identification to vote again.
  10. I am getting old too. A few more years and I get to retire. I wish. Likely nineteen more years of full time work ahead for me at least.
  11. The Berenstain Bears lived in a tree. Papa Bear was an idiot and Mama bear was the sensible one. King of the Hill was one of the few television shows where the Dad was not idiot.
  12. No bipartisan bill for American border security is needed. Biden could shut down the invasion very soon at the border if he wanted to. He reversed the border security and threw the door open for anyone to enter very soon after he was put into office. He has the authority to do it.
  13. There is no way to tell. We do not research any of these invaders coming in. At best they are here for a better life. At worst they are here to loot the citizen's treasury, traffic in illegal drugs, slave trade and/or bring horrid change to America. If you cease to have borders, you will cease to be a nation in the future as you will lose control of your country.
  14. Nikki Haley has a lot of Democrat money in her coffers. I highly doubt I would vote for her. She would probably side with the global, elite tyrants and keep pushing their control agenda. Meanwhile we have a lot of Chinese pouring over our open border into this country. Train and arm them and you have a small, hostile army inside America ready for action. It won't be small either if the border continues to stay open for whoever to invade.
  15. One small part of my faith is the law of Entropy. The law of Entropy is the natural tendency of things to lose order. Left to its own devices, life will always become less structured. Sand castles get washed away. Weeds overtake gardens. Ancient ruins crumble. Cars begin to rust. People gradually age. With enough time, even mountains erode and their precise edges become rounded. The inevitable trend is that things become less organized. The Universe has so much order in it as do many things on this Earth. How did this get organized amid the chaos? My answer is the God of the Universe. The main reason I believe is the continual witness of the Holy Ghost in my life and my work with the LORD God. He is always there for me to help and lift me up. Daily prayer and scripture study keep me in touch with Him.
  16. From my understanding in the pre-existence there were three divisions or parts of the many spirit sons and daughters of God there. These three parts were the following: 1 - The valiant spirits 2 - The less valiant spirits 3 - The rebellious spirits The rebellious were cast out with Lucifer and the heavens wept over them. The valiant and less valiant spirits will enter this life, receive mortal bodies and be tested to see if they will keep their second estate by following Christ.
  17. 21 And verily I say unto you, that ye are they of whom I said: Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 22 And they understood me not, for they supposed it had been the Gentiles; for they understood not that the Gentiles should be converted through their preaching. 23 And they understood me not that I said they shall hear my voice; and they understood me not that the Gentiles should not at any time hear my voice—that I should not manifest myself unto them save it were by the Holy Ghost. III Nephi Chapter 15
  18. I hope I am wrong, but I think we are in the last years before a financial reset in the United States. (It may be seven years or less.) Looking back at my past thinking and previous posts, I thought we were in bad shape financially with the national debt in the past. Now it is so much worse than it was before and we can witness this with the inflation that has been about an annual fifteen percent on many items. Some people have said their power bills have gone up 50 to 100% in two years and they are using the same amount of power. In regards to the Second Coming of Christ, I think the world will go through many years of trials before this happens. And when the LORD comes to Jerusalem to end the battle at Armageddon and save the Jews, this is not even His Second Coming. Christ leaves and there more time before He comes again with numerous angels to burn all things telestial and to reign as King of kings on the Earth.
  19. Do not know why Darin Scott decided to post those comments about the Church right before the release of The Oath movie. But I agree that if he does not turn from his fear and humble himself it may lead him out of the Gospel of Christ. I would pray for him.
  20. This was the end goal of hate speech and hate crimes. What is hate speech or hate crimes? Whatever the tyrants enforcing these laws believe is such. All hate speech and hate crimes laws should be abolished. A crime is a crime. We do not need to enhance a sentence for a crime because it was done in hate.
  21. I believe things will start getting better in America when many people begin turning back to the LORD. Someone invited over half a million people to make a covenant with God recently and ask that the LORD heal our land. If Latter-Day Saints are following their covenants they have made they can also begin to pray that the LORD will heal our land.
  22. I am for positive media and messages. Two more days and The Oath movie is released in about 650 theatres across America. It is a movie about Moroni directed by Darin Scott. The website is here. The movie trailer for this film is here:
  23. It is a moral decision when you take money or goods from one person and give it to another. And if you pay people with able bodies and minds to not work then many will not. Making people uncomfortable in their poverty may motivate more of them to put efforts in to get out of poverty.
  24. This is what Christmas is about, not a new Lexus in the driveway with a big red bow on it. I get so tired of the advertisements telling everyone to go out and buy gifts and more stuff. Christmas is about Christ; the King of kings and LORD of lords.
  25. I only have to know two passwords to access about all of my user names and passwords. There are encrypted volumes I create on my own hard drive to access all my user names and passwords. And I have multiple copies on multiple hard drives and flash drives. I also refuse to have copies of most of my stuff backed up on the Internet. If it is not on your hard drives, you do not own it.
