“A Righteous Person”

Maybe it would be better to ask what is
Celestial person or persons? We know it will take righteous people to save the
Constitution which is the same type of person to inherit the Celestial Kingdom.
Let’s clarify – to inherit the highest degree of glory in the Celestial Kingdom
it will take a Celestial Marriage or Sealing and/or Temple Worthy. We also know
all children who die under the age of 8 years old return to the Celestial
Kingdom. Those who are born birth defects unable to comprehend or to commit sin
of any kind will also. This because we know that Heavenly Father is fair to one
and all. Remember here we’re only speaking of the Celestial Kingdom – of which
all of the requirements are clearly laid out in the Old and New Testament and
the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants.
Let’s make a short list:
- Keep
all of the Commandments
- (actually
the list could end here but to make a couple of additions)
- Have
charity towards all
- Keep
James 1:27
- Be of
no contention – anger – disputations
- Avoid
Babylon (the worldly things)
- Be not
slothful
- Have
Temple Worthiness in all things
Comprehending no one is perfect however there
are some things which we can strive to be perfect in – and this list is a very good
start. So really it’s pretty simple to be a righteous person – however it does
require selflessness and self-discipline. One who’s accountable in all things
and responsible in all things within their power to be so.
Now let’s look at the other Kingdoms - Telestial Glory; The lowest of
the three degrees of glory in which people will dwell after the Final Judgment. Terrestrial
Glory The second of the three degrees of glory in which people will
dwell after the Final Judgment.
The Telestial is like the stars and the Terrestrial is like the light of
the moon. As in the Celestial it is expected that these are divided into
various levels while it is not clarified in the Scriptures. Remembering that those
in these spheres will be there based on their choices in mortality – either right
or wrong and their associated actions. We will not judge them or even speculate
where someone might be going for we are not to judge another – outside of
intermediate judgment as it concerns us or our family.
Outer darkness is reserved for those who’ve
either committed murder (or shed innocent blood) – or denied the Holy Ghost! One
has have received the Holy Ghost to deny it – but one can also deny the
promptings of the spirit (which is not the same if not having received it) – i.e.
one would have to be an apostate of the Lord’s Church having received the Holy
Ghost via proper authority to be able to deny it. Knowing this we can then
imagine those who’ll be in the Telestial Glory – as those who’ve committed
knowingly sexual sin – adultery-sexual activity outside of marriage – other deviations
of a sexual type. This because sexual immorality is second only to murder in
the Lord’s view.
Now back to the righteous person – I would
consider most of my friends and acquaintances to be righteous – when not
considering the requirements of the Celestial Kingdom. This differentiation is
important – hopefully I would be considered righteous by my friends and associates.
Whether worthy of the Celestial Kingdom that’s between the Lord and I and separate
from all else. Righteous would mean living life as a good person – caring for
others – sharing with those in needs – and avoiding contention with one
another. (Note: I’ve several extremely righteous persons I’ve known who’ve no
religious belief for their own very good reasons – so let’s not say one has to
be religious to be righteous.)
Thus many can work to preserve the Constitution
– this Nation and our freedoms. The world has gotten things so messed even the
very elect will or can be fooled. Sadly the adversary never stops working on deceiving
as many as possible and from recent elections and the choices made the slander
and slanted news recurring moment to moment many righteous persons are deceived
daily.
One can hope and strive to be a righteous
person – one can also strive to be a Celestial Person – it’s all there and for
all to understand to accept or reject. c/ork
