Right /sarc
*********************
Jeepers. Thanks!
You know, my feelings are getting hurt. You won’t talk to me (pouts)
Resty, I would LOVE to know what leap of logic had you pair up the use of sarcasm with God’s promise to prepare places in heaven for his children. Do you think He was being sarcastic?

I thought the reply was self explanatory to the quote.
“Seems there’s a few of us that can appreciate sarcasm.”
So if there are only a few there would need to be a place for those who think that way!
You know the Father house is very spacious and therefore it covers all degrees of glory!
Um.....no, sorry
Resty: “Seems there’s a few of us that can appreciate sarcasm.”
I think it's more a matter of being able to dish it out vs taking it.
Resty: "So if there are only a few there would need to be a place for those who think that way!"
are you trying to say that God is promising to make a special mansion in heaven for those who appreciate sarcasm? That doesn't sound right to me.
Resty:You know the Father house is very spacious and therefore it covers all degrees of glory!
Well, Christians don't believe in "degrees of glory". However, I know that LDS do. Whay is confusing to me is the next verse in the chapter you quoted (remember - context, context, context)
When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. John 14:3
Is that right? The LDS can't believe this is true. Jesus will only visit the two highr degrees of glory, the Celestial and the Terrestial kingdoms. Those in the lower Telestial kingdom never get to see Jesus again, nor "Heavenly Father"
So is Jesus being sarcastic?
Oh noes - another of those 'Bigots'
Welllll......technically Jesus could go and visit them, but would he want to? They might use sarcasm and that would just be totally disgusting!
Well, who said the sarcastic mansions are in the lowest level of glory?
Only as far as it is correctly translated. <rolleyes>
Did I say that outloud?
oh snap
Satire, in a way, is telling the truth; in making it obvious why the object of the satire is ridiculous, error is rebuked.
Actually, not true according to their Doctrines and Covenant:
Joseph Smith taught that individuals in the telestial kingdom will be servants of God, but "where God and Christ dwell they cannot come, worlds without end";[25] however, they will receive the ministration of the Holy Ghost and beings from the terrestrial kingdom
How bizarre to think of a heaven where you will never be in the presence of God. I’m glad you’re going to be in the Christian heaven with me and all other believers CC :-) And we will glory in the presence of God forever.

It seems to me it is you who assumes Jesus will bring everyone.
Why should the slacker be rewards as well as those who strive to do the things asked them to do?
Each reward is according how much oil they have in their lamps!
REsty, you yourself just said a few posts back that all degrees of glory are included.
You: "You know the Father house is very spacious and therefore it covers all degrees of glory!"
So, it's true - you believe in earning your way to heaven rather than grace.
Gotta go for a few hours
Don’t confused Salvation is by grace.
Where you end up is by how much light you have in your lamp!
You may dismiss the degree of glory but one can only go so far as they can receive light!
1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2 After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the market place; 4 and to them he said, `You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went. 5 Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing; and he said to them, `Why do you stand here idle all day?' 7 They said to him, `Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, `You go into the vineyard too.' 8 And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, `Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.' 9 And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. 10 Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius. 11 And on receiving it they grumbled at the householder, 12 saying, `These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.' 13 But he replied to one of them, `Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what belongs to you, and go; I choose to give to this last as I give to you. 15 Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?' 16 So the last will be first, and the first last."
