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.

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?
