Doctrine and Covenants
Section 131
Instructions by Joseph Smith the Prophet, given at Ramus, Illinois, 16 and 17 May 1843 (see History of the Church, 5:392–93).

1–4, Celestial marriage is essential to exaltation in the highest heaven; 5–6, How men are sealed up unto eternal life is explained; 7–8, All spirit is matter.

 1 In the acelestial glory there are three bheavens or degrees;

 2 And in order to obtain the ahighest, a man must enter into this border of the cpriesthood [meaning the new and deverlasting covenant of emarriage];

 3 And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.

 4 He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an aincrease.

 5 (May 17th, 1843.) The more sure word of aprophecy means a man’s knowing that he is bsealed up unto ceternal life, by revelation and the spirit of prophecy, through the power of the Holy Priesthood.

 6 It is impossible for a man to be asaved in bignorance.

 7 There is no such thing as immaterial matter. All aspirit is matter, but it is more fine or pure, and can only be discerned by bpurer eyes;

 8 We cannot asee it; but when our bodies are purified we shall see that it is all bmatter.

I believe the scriptures tell us that in the kingdom there is no marriage, that we will be as the angels.

We do not know anything about it, we just have ideas and some people claim to have revelations from God and teach them as fact.

The only thing we have is faith.
