Only as far as it is correctly translated.

Yes, I believe I will not have to “endure” the Glory of God but will Praise it.
Let’s get this straight because I chose to let you stu in your own juice does not mean I agree with you or the snarky way you package your questions!
So who are you guys this morning?
The only snarky person here to day is you and remember I am supposed to be the only snarky person here. ,-)
What was snarky about that? It was a straight forward statement. You seem to be attributing motives to me that are not there or do not come across that way.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong about the different kinds of salvation. I am being serious.
words mean what I say they mean.

LDS theology in a nutshell with the addition of “and what you(non mormons) say words mean never meant what you say they mean in the first place”.
Matt 24
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Mark 13:
13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Hebrew 12
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
The Spirit of God - The Mormon Tabernacle Choir
1. The Spirit of God like a fire is burning!
The latter-day glory begins to come forth;
The visions and blessings of old are returning,
And angels are coming to visit the earth.
[Chorus]
Well sing and well shout with the armies of heaven,
Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb!
Let glory to them in the highest be given,
Henceforth and forever, Amen and amen!
2. The Lord is extending the Saints understanding,
Restoring their judges and all as at first.
The knowledge and power of God are expanding;
The veil oer the earth is beginning to burst.
[Chorus]
4. How blessed the day when the lamb and the lion
Shall lie down together without any ire,
And Ephraim be crowned with his blessing in Zion,
As Jesus descends with his chariot of fire!
[Chorus]
Hence forth and forever, Amen and Amen. Amen

We do not survive through hardship the Glory of God. If lds believe and you seem to pushing this point that the Glory of God is something to survive, to endure - I pity you.
Moderators have extremely thick skin. It’s a necessary qualification to do the job.
if you want to play this silly word game I do have a choice and not continue!
I am showing you the definition of a word, so we both know where each other is coming from. It has become apparent that you do believe that the Glory of God is something to endure (survive through hardship)
Enduring till the end is NOT enduring the Glory of God. I am going to make it easy for you: endure: to survive: continue to live through hardship or adversity
We do not survive through hardship the Glory of God. If lds believe and you seem to pushing this point that the Glory of God is something to survive, to endure - I pity you.
No doubt.
Must be a very fascinating skin test over the wires! LOL.
Asbestos underware probably helps as well . . . . .
I never said it that way and will not play strawman statements!
It depends how clean one vessel is how much glory/light the spirit will beable withstand.
I gave Moses as an examples the Lord was able to transfigure him but others children there were not even clean enough to withstand the purity of God!
Philip. 2:
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Restraining my fingers.
At least mostly restraining my fingers.
Going to go back to bed to make it easier.
Resty, you did say that the Glory of God is something to be endured.
It is not a straw man, you said it.
My response is that the Glory of God is not something that I will have to endure but something that I will Praise.
If you mistyped, I get that sometimes that happens.
Do you agree with me then that the Glory of God is something to be Praised not endured?
endure as in withstand the bright light.
If ones vessel is not clean enough it will shrivl and meltaway!
Like buring of the tares!
So how close one can get to Heavenly Father will depend how clean their vessel is!
That is why there are 3 degress of glory!
This has nothing to do with Salvation it is which mansion or reward each will receive!
John 14
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And IF I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am,
there ye may be also.
see the opertive word “IF” I go than the Lord will receive you!
Why am I not surprised to see salvation=bank account in mormon thinking?
I know you are but what am I?
