Mormons, Are there really 3 degrees of heaven?
Mormons believe there are 3 levels of Heaven, but the Bible only mentions Heaven and Hell?
The Bible doesn't say anything about the Celestial Kingdom, Terrestrial Kingdom, and Telestial Kingdom. It just says Heaven & Hell.
Are there 3 degrees of heaven?

This is an interesting question, but the answers you receive will be based on others views and perspectives.
I personally believe in one heaven and I do not believe in hell. However, I do not believe in the bible.
There is no way anyone on this earth can tell us a guaranteed answer to what is beyond human living. A possibility of a 3 heavens is based on whether you choose to believe it or not.
The bible in my opinion was written by people wirh perspectives and beliefs.
In my aspect - God is not a person, God is not a thing, God is everywhere.
It's what you want to believe

I'm not sure there is a Mormon here to answer your question, so I'm going to jump in.
When you ask people about a matter of faith, you are going to get an answer based on their faith.
As others have mentioned, Mormons have an additional testament not included in the standard Christian Bible called the Book of Mormon, so they are not necessarily referring to the exact same sacred books as you may be.
However, most sources I've found don't refer to the Book of Mormon as the source of the '3 Heavens' concept. Similar to the Catholic concept of purgatory, it's an idea based on very selective reading of a few passages, and what I'd call a very rational human response to the concept of heaven and hell being just too binary to be fair and just...

It is hard to say whether something is true for real or not. Each religion has their own beliefs that seem kind of out of this world while other things seem plausible. The Mormons also believe that no one truly stays in hell forever, that they redeem themselves and move up. If heaven is a place where all is forgiven and everyone has a chance then I suspect what they are saying to be true. I was a Mormon for awhile. When it comes to religion, all you can really go on is your gut. Do you feel it is something worth believing or do you feel it is something to question. I believe that there is no true church on earth, but all religions are bits and pieces of what the true church once was.

Mormons have an additional testament, the Book of Mormon, presumably it mentions the extra kingdoms. The New Testament mentions a lot of things Jews don't believe in because they only follow the Old Testament, and the Book of Mormon has stuff Christians and Jews don't believe in.
