Let
me say in connection with this, (several questions have to come up regarding
that) there is nowhere in our scripture said that the other two-thirds were
evenly divided. There was not one-third neutral, so far as we know, because
there is no definite information regarding it, but the only evidence we have is
that one-third rebelled against God and were thrust down, and were not given
the opportunity to take bodies nor receive the priesthood. (John M. Whitaker,
