I pointed out that Mormons believe in three heavens... Yes.

There is nothing in the 1611 King James Authorized Version of the Bible regarding this. Where from scripture, do you get this notion? I can tell you where Joseph Smith got it, with a high degree of evidential certainty. But it wasn't from the Bible.

Then why should we trust your take on this? Mitt was pulled off the "run" because it would hold the LDS church to a critical analysis that could not survive. And this is exactly what I speak of. You all just make stuff up as cannon.

So you quote: Moses 1:39 to me? Please, lets stick to the Bible. I refuse to take Joseph Smith on his word, when there is no proof, other than his word, that the things he wrote are true. And when you cite "quotations" don’t try and trick people to believe that your quote is from the Bible. Jesus said no such thing.
This concept is nothing more than a kinder, gentler purgatory.
