If you’ve ever wondered why Mormons believe in three kingdoms in heaven, it comes from 1 Corinthians 15:40. In the KJV, it mentions bodies terrestrial (earthly bodies) and celestial (heavenly resurrected bodies), but the JST changes everything. It adds a new word called “telestial”, which adds a new doctrine to the mix. Where instead of terrestrial and celestial being bodies, they are now kingdoms in heaven. See below for this addition of “telestial” in the JST. This is another reason why Joseph Smith is a false prophet.
“There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.” (1 Corinthians 15:40 – KJV)
“Also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial and bodies telestial; but the glory of the celestial one, and the terrestrial another, and the telestial another.” (1 Corinthians 15:40 – JST)
Amen@ To change the word of God is so bad. Joseph Smith made up a word and changed the entire text from resurrected bodies to different heavens. So evil!
Amen. We should never change the Word of God!
Well, he just invented a new religion, constructed heaven as he wanted it to be and put himself in charge (Genesis-JST). Wow! Just Wow!
Amen. It is hard to believe people tink he was a prophet of God having changed the Word of God like it was nothing.
