Yes, but we're talking ultimate destination here. Try to stay focused.

Boring. If you want to take a stand on the issue, go ahead. All you've got so far is "you're wrong because of these few vague scriptures which don't even address the ratios we've been discussing."

As we've discussed before, Paul considered the glories of stars, moon, and sun to all be "heavenly" or "Celestial." The KJ word choice of "Celestial" in the one instance but not elsewhere in the passage obscures Paul's meaning.


Yes, I couldn't resist.

Does everyone get to keep their second estate?

How can two persons argue about a ratio which isn't discussed? Jay doesn't appear upset but Tex does.

This discussion reminds me of the philosophical debates about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

Isn't the only real question, "what am I doing, and what will be my circumstances in the hereafter?" Not saying you two aren't aware of that, but if I'm not in good circumstances, if everybody else is, does it really matter?

I have. I believe the number of people in the terrestrial and telestial glories will be greater than zero. And I've posted the scriptures to back it up.

Be kind, and do the same.

Ultimately we ought to be only concerned with our own and our family's salvation, yes. I had thought this was a thread for hypothetically discussing where everyone else is on that continuum. Cali and santos seem to think they know, and I beg to differ.

I admit to being clueless on this issue and am a bit worried about my future circumstances. Of course, the company where I'm at might be good.

I already did but you laughed it off

Cel = innumerable * 1000
ter = innumerable
tel = innumerable

round it to

Cel = 100%
ter = 0%
tel = 0%

Do you really consider this a serious response, or should I be looking for the Candid Camera people?
