6 Nevertheless, it is anot written that there shall be no end to this torment, but it is written bendless ctorment. 7 Again, it is written aeternal damnation; wherefore it is more express than other scriptures, that it might work upon the hearts of the children of men, altogether for my name’s glory.

8 Wherefore, I will explain unto you this amystery, for it is meet unto you to know even as mine apostles.

9 I speak unto you that are chosen in this thing, even as one, that you may enter into my arest.

10 For, behold, the amystery of godliness, how great is it! For, behold, I am bendless, and the punishment which is given from my hand is endless cpunishment, for dEndless is my name. Wherefore—

11 aEternal punishment is God’s punishment.

12 Endless punishment is God’s punishment.

Tex, why don't you throw out your guess on the %?

The more interesting question is, how do you and Cali marry your 0% view with the foregoing scriptures?

As for me, how in the world could I possible gauge such an unknowable thing? You might as well ask me to "throw out my guess" on BYU's football record in 2071. Of one thing I can be reasonably certain: my reading of the scriptures is that it will be greater than 0.

For those who know more about the Free Mason - Mormon temple ceremony connection than I, did the Free Masons teach/believe the 3 degrees of heaven thing?

At the resurrection there will probably be only .5% that qualify for the Celestial. The vast majority will be Terrestrial--maybe 85%. The last 14.5% will be Telestial.

But that is just another beginning. . .

So what does DC19 mean?

I always get the terrestrial and telestial mixed up.

I don't know about the percentages, but wherever SU ends up, I'm sure he'll be quite convinced that he's in the best place. I say we continue to humor him.

I'd rather do it by numbers than %.

Where x = the number of spirit children God has created:

Celestial) 17

Terrestial) x - 6

Telestial) x - 11

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
