I caught a Mormon film at the New York World's Fair. It showed heaven
with the families happily united, mom and dad, gramps and granny, and so
forth. I sort of wondered how that worked and how they determined who
would be what age for the family picnic.

There were white families, Asian families, Indian families, might even
have been a few Eskimos. Only one type of family was missing. Kimball
went home and had a revelation; those sons of Ham (or actually Canaan)
could go to the picnic too.

I'm a little skeptical about continuous revelation when the revelations
seem so handy.


As far as I can tell, a Mormon's position in heaven is determined
by how well one succeeded with his family on earth. And
when Mormons get married, they really mean for eternity.
But for the specifics, we will need a Mormon is chime in.

This teaching is not Christian by the way. In Jesus words:

For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are
given in marriage, but are as the angels of God
in heaven.
--Matthew 22:30 KJV

Then again, the Christian Jesus is not the Mormon Jesus.
The Christian Jesus is the creator of the universe and
the single and only god. Mother Mary is said to have
given birth to her creator. The Mormon Jesus is
the offspring of one of the many other gods. The
Mormons reuse our names. I suppose I should see it
as flattering.

"continuous revelation" is not even a good excuse for
a gods that make mistakes. A revelation should not
contrition other revelations. A god that makes
mistakes is not a god.
