Resty:I thought the reply was self explanatory to the quote.

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?

Welllll......technically Jesus could go and visit them, but would he want to? They might use sarcasm and that would just be totally disgusting!

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!
