• Thank you for your answer.
  
  >Outer Darkness is a Kingdom without Glory<
  
  Meaning, of course, that they don't have a Major League Baseball team. They're stuck with the Salt Lake Stingers.

• >And that means they must be without sin of any kind...<
  
  >...if we have repented of all our sins and have not denied the Holy Ghost, we will be saved in the very highest degree of the Celestial Kingdom<
  
  BTW, you DO realize that these two assertions are contradictory - right?
  
  A = they must be without sin of any kind
  B = and must have had all the Temple endowments
  C = and covenants
  D = and have been sealed as man and wife
  E = and have been sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise.(Holy Ghost)
  THEN
  F = we will be saved in the very highest degree of the Celestial Kingdom
  
  In other words, A+B+C+D+E=F
  
  However you're ALSO saying.
  
  G = if we have repented of all our sins (meaning that you HAVE sinned)
  H = and have not denied the Holy Ghost
  THEN
  F = we will be saved in the very highest degree of the Celestial Kingdom
  
  A+B+C+D+E+G+H = F
  
  However, since A conflict G then, logically,
  
  A+B+C+D+E+G+H DOES NOT = F
  
  So it appears that in Mormon Soteriology the ONLY way to get into the Celestial Kingdom is to be 100% flawless and perfect. This was, of course, validated by the book, "The Miracle of Forgiveness" by Stephen Kimball http://www.mormonwiki.org/Miracle_of_Forgiveness
  
  And this contradictory, convoluted soterilogy is why the Mormon Gospel has been correctly labeled "The Impossible Gospel" (see http://www.mormonwiki.org/Impossible_gospel )
  
  And, by the way, single people in case you didn't notice unless you get eternally sealed (aka "married for eternity") in an LdS Temple during your mortal life you can NOT reach the Celestial Kingdom. Sorry!
  (If you've suspected that you're a second class citizen in the Mormon Kingdom of God it appears that you were eternally correct according to their soteriology! Someone had to say it so there it is.)

• Please what's "loaded" about this question. To the best of my knowledge this is nothing more than standard LdS Theology nothing more.
