Rom 4 - "Not by works"

There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead.

1 Corinthians 15:40-42
:)celestial bodies referring to our heavenly or resurrected body which is immortal

The terrestrial body refers to our Mortal earthy body and has nothing to do in context with the heavens or kingdoms :)
 
Romans 5
20 The Ten Commandments were given so that all could see the extent of their failure to obey God's laws. But the more we see our sinfulness, the more we see God's abounding grace forgiving us. 21 Before, sin ruled over all men and brought them to death, but now God's kindness rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. " Living Bible

Mormonism is foreign to the Bible
Mormonism is even foreign to THE BOOK OF MORMON!
 
There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead.

1 Corinthians 15:40-42
There is zero here about 3 separate kingdoms of God. Paul is simply using celestial bodies as a comparison--the ones he mentions have a different "glory" from each other, i.e., a different brightness.

But why did you truncate the chapter? Why not quote MORE of it?

42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.

Our created bodies have one kind of earthly glory; God made our bodies most wonderfully, as David wrote when he wrote "I am fearfully and wonderfully made..."

But our heavenly bodies will be dominated by the Spirit and will be glorified and imperishable, as Jesus' body is after His glorious Resurrection. Our earthly bodies cannot begin to compare to the glory of our heavenly, imperishable bodies, fit for eternity in heaven with God our Father and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

there is ONLY one Kingdom of God, Richard--not three:

Matt. 25: 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

Jesus only has one people on His right, His sheep. He comes to take His sheep to His Father's Kingdom--ONE KINGDOM. NOT three.

ONE, for ALL believers. And they don't have to be married and have their marriages sealed in your church's phony temples, either.
