Divine Inequality

Divine Inequality:
The younger generation has spent very little time thinking about Communism or studying Communism. What is Communism? Communism is enforced equality. Communism is militant atheism or enforced atheism.
They will kill you if you refuse to see things the way that they see them. They will kill you if you refuse to do things the way they do them. They will kill you if you have more than they do, or appear to have more than they do.
They literally killed all of the Doctors and Scientists in Cambodia because the Doctors and Scientists had more than the rest of the people had. That's the fruits of enforced equality. Enforced equality is a Satanic principle. Study Pol Pot and the Killing Fields to see the fruits of Enforced Equality.
A lot of time, effort, inspiration, potential, and life can be wasted by trying to enforce equality. Who is the one who wants us wasting time, effort, potential, and life? It’s Satan. The drive to enforce equality does NOT come from God. It comes from Satan.
And, just because we live in America, we are not automatically immune to the lures of enforced equality.
Every generation we always have some kind of equal rights amendment or some kind of program to make the sexes equal.
In contrast, God deliberately created us different and unequal, male and female, for a wise and glorious purpose. This was God’s Plan, to have us unequal and different. There are many many things that a woman can do that a man simply cannot do. There are also a couple of things that a man can do that a woman cannot do. A woman makes for a rather poor father to emulate, especially for a young man. A woman doesn’t have the mechanism needed to become a father, either.
Again, study the Parable of the Talents or the Parable of the Elections. Notice that some were given 10 Elections. Some were given a couple of Elections or a few Elections. And, some were only given one Election or one Talent. Notice that they were created unequal by God right from the very beginning. God did it this way so that we would actually have a need for each other. Together, we are greater than the sum of our unequal parts. Together, we can approach perfection, fullness, wholeness, unity, or completion. Standing alone, we will fall.

Parable of the Ten Virgins:
The beauty of a parable is that it can have dozens of different interpretations, each of which is valid and useful. That's why some claim that it's useful to have the gift of the Holy Ghost while studying the parables, because the Holy Ghost will help you to see other possible and useful interpretations for the very same parable.

I latched onto the Joseph Smith Translation of the parable of the Ten Virgins, where Joseph equates the Ten Virgins to the Latter-day Saints. I personally took that to mean ALL baptized Latter-day Saints, from 1830 to the Second Coming. What is this Wedding Feast that the Ten Virgins are headed towards? It's the Celestial Kingdom. ALL baptized Latter-day Saints are ELECTED or qualified to go to the Celestial Kingdom (as are children under the age of eight).

Thus, I personally tend to interpret the Parable of the Ten Virgins to mean that, of all the people who are baptized Latter-day Saints (past, present, and future), half of them are going to apostatize, or turn apathetic, or stop keeping the commandments, or not have the Holy Ghost in them when Christ comes. There will be no oil in their lamps when the Bridegroom comes and they will be off doing something else. It's also possible that half of the baptized Latter-day Saints in the spirit world might actually remain in spirit prison, when Christ comes and when the oil-filled Latter-day Saints in Paradise are resurrected from the dead on the Morning of the First Resurrection.

Everyone tends to focus on the half of the Latter-day Saints who aren't going to make it. But, this parable tells us that half of the baptized Latter-day Saints (past, present, and future) will actually make it to the Wedding Feast or the Celestial Kingdom.

Although it can be fun to run the numbers and to speculate, you don't want to make a religion out of it or bet the farm on it. God changes His mind all the time depending upon whether we choose to repent or not, or depending upon whether we choose to be baptized into the LDS Church or not, or depending upon whether we choose to sustain the Brethren or not.
If all ten virgins repent and keep oil in their lamps, then they will all be going to the Wedding Feast or the Celestial Kingdom, and the parable be damned.
God was going to destroy Ninevah, and God sent Jonah to Ninevah to warn them. But guess what? They repented, and the city was spared, much to Jonah's disappointment. Jonah didn't like them and wanted them to be destroyed, but they repented and God changed His mind.

Deliberate rebellion against God the Father, His Plan of Salvation, His Church or Kingdom, His Ordinances, and His Priesthood is a SIN no matter when we commit that sin during our existence. One third of the hosts of Heaven were deliberately guilty of that sin or committed that sin in the pre-mortal world, and it put an end to their progress. Rebellion against God and His Kingdom or Church can have serious consequences.
In the pre-mortal world, the Brethren were God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. In the pre-mortal world apathy or a refusal to sustain the Brethren was also a reason why some of them were exiled from Heaven. A refusal to sustain the Brethren or God's Chosen Prophets can have eternal consequences as well, no matter when we chose to go that route during our eternal progression.

Any time we deliberately or knowingly rebel against God, His Kingdom or Church, and His Chosen One, it is a SIN; and, it will put an end to our progress unless we repent.

Some of the more valiant spirits or the great ones were Fore-Ordained to various Gifts or Elections while there in the pre-mortal world. We can rest assured that Mary was fore-ordained to be the mother of the Savior. I feel confident that Elijah in the Bible and Nephi in Helaman 7 were fore-ordained to receive the Sealing Power. Certainly others were fore-ordained to specific Callings, like Moses, Noah, Adam, Abraham, Enoch, Israel, Jesus Christ, and Joseph Smith. Some of them were fore-ordained, Elected, Gifted, or given a prior Election to be Seers in this life. This kind of tells me that they either sinned less or progressed further than I did in the pre-mortal realms.

Equality is an illusion. It's a man-made concept. Some people have suggested to me that it is Satan who introduces to us the concept that we each should be equal carbon-copies of each other, in order to stir up jealousies within us when we can clearly see that we are not equal.

We each came to this earth with different Callings and different Elections or Gifts or Fore-Ordinations. Not all of us are going to receive the Sealing Power while we are here in mortality, because we were simply not fore-ordained unto to that particular Election or Gift from God. Not all of us are going to be Dispensation Heads, because only a few of us received that particular Election while in the pre-mortal world.

The idea that we were able to sin and rebel in Heaven, explains lots of things that we see going on around us here in mortality. Some of us progressed further in the pre-mortal life than others did. Some of us will deliberately choose to end our progress or progression while we are here in this mortal life; thus, it's not going to turn out equal in the next life for any of us. Even in the Celestial Kingdom there will be an unequal pecking order, and all of us who go to the Celestial Kingdom will be learning from those who are further along than we are.
