Mormon Rituals and Ancient Temples - 1 of 5

[omiolo]

What a sweet spiritual experience for all that, despite their limited command of English, they were able to sing as a heavenly choir. Many hearts were touched and bonded during that sacrament meeting.

[omiolo]

On the day of the presentation, the 14 new converts stood before the branch and, although they started tentatively, soon sounded like angels joyously singing praises to the Lord. The swelling of sweet music was unified, with no individual voice singing louder than others. When the singing stopped, tears were streaming down the faces of many members in the congregation.

[LadyK8E]

I love how they have Rabbi's on here talking about temples - they're talking about the architecture and history of temples. However, Jews are forbidden to build any temple, anywhere in the world, other than on the temple mount in Jerusalem. So it's a little deceptive taking their opinions on architecture and making it sound like they're a-ok with Mormons & Mormon temple building. They're not.

[omiolo]

"Jews are forbidden to build any temple, anywhere in the world, other than on the temple mount in Jerusalem"

NO

[LadyK8E]

YES

They can build synagogues, but not temples. Look it up..

[omiolo]

@LadyK8E

so the Rabbi's are talking about temple building because they are NOT OK with it?

/great logic!

[46don13]

The doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true, from God, adjusted for what man is prepared to receive, designed to progress man to higher states of being.

Temples are an important part of this progression.

[patfealy]

The Mormons washing of the hands gave doctors the idea for washing their hands before an operation.

[planetar4564]

@patfealy: You realize that's not true, right?

[godluvsmormons]

LDS temple rituals as seen through the eyes of historians in the LDS church are about as valid as the burning bosom one gets when one asks the LDS deity if its scriptures are true.. "Dear false god, are your scriptures true?" Yeah, you guys misinterpret and misunderstand a great many things, sadly. I weep for you.

[imtherealthing]

@godluvsmormons

Oh really?... you should "weep" for your lack of knowledge of the TRUE GODHEAD.

Your god is a 3-headed blob who has to be explained by analogies of an egg, or triangle or water in its three phases<-- now that is something to WEEP over.

Tell me..where are the words "essence" or "substance" in the "bible" to demonstrate that your god is indeed "biblical"?..show me where in ANY of the original languages of the bible these words can be found to show thier relationship?

[godluvsmormons]

I may not be able to show exactly which words back the trinity, but since I am not a triunitarian, I guess i don't have to. I am a believer in a single solitary God, who has never begun & has no equals or compatriots in the universe. This God is omnipotent, omnipresent & vast. He is Jesus, as well as the Holy Spirit and the father, yet he could just as well be a million more things or beings, if He chose to be. This view I can definitely back up with scripture, so by all means, let's rock

[godluvsmormons]

imtherealthing is the real thing alright, a real hypocrite. He uses a quote from C.S Lewis on his page denouncing those who dwell chiefly or frequently on the faults of other religions, yet that is what he does all the time, and what the LDS "missionaries" do when they come to the doors of those whose faith is in Christ and preach the lie. If you took away all of the peculiar and overtly false doctrines of Joseph Smith and the LDS apostleship, all you would have left is Jesus and the Bible.....

[cayetanohawaii]

Our God is a 3 headed blob.

Wow, thanks for demonstrating how Mormons devalue God.

You have no appreciation for the fact that God is God, the spirit and that in Jesus, He is ONE, as the Bible clearly states... And you call yourselves Christians!

Mormonism= Twistianity.

[solarflare311]

@cayetanohawaii your comment was anything but christian,but keep poking your head into the sand,dont speak of what you dont know,it is obvious that you havnt even a clue what we believe you knucklehead!

[Dalessiokiller]

@godluvsmormons

The clothing, aprons, and things done in the temple have been verified by early christian documents to be right on. These were not early catholics who wrote the letters. Early Christians performed baptisms for the dead. The had ceremonies that were not openly shared with the public. None of this info was available in J Smiths time. you seem like a smart guy - if the BOM is fake then explain Haplogroup X away. I'll let you look that up on your own. God Bless.

[solarflare311]

[TheCrwilliams]

Will, I seems like you worship the temple. But why not give that kind of money to built the temple to give to the other countrys to built churches or for services. The biggest temple of all was Jesus. And that is the temple we need not the building.

[lds9999]

We don't worship the temple. We worship in the temple. Big difference.

Additionally, the LDS church is building churches all over the world--one new chapel is constructed every working day on average!

[TheCrwilliams]

Well, Ive been hearing lots of stuff about the temple. I have Mormon friends telling me a little but there are rumors about whats going on in the temple. I herd about when geting married in the temple your married in heaven.

[lds9999]

That's right. We believe that in the temple, you can be married for eternity, not just 'till death do you part.

What a wonderful concept to be married to our spouse for all time and eternity!

[TheCrwilliams]

But it looks like he said that there are no marriage. And he said that we will be like the angels. And I thought that angels aren't married. Also were does it that you could be married in heaven through the priesthood for eternity.

[lds9999]

In the Doctrine and Covenants. :) One important thing to realize is that we believe in continuing revelation and a prophet who lives on the earth today.

Therefore, while we consider the Bible to be scripture, we do not consider it to be the only book of scripture. We believe that God continues to speak through His prophets today.

[TheCrwilliams]

What prophet is that?

[lds9999]

Joseph Smith received that revelation. The prophet today is President Thomas S. Monson.

[TheCrwilliams]

How do you that  they are a prophet?

[lds9999]

Through prayer.

[TheCrwilliams]

Through prayer? So what did God say?

[lds9999]

I prayed to know whether they were prophets of God. He confirmed the truth through the Holy Spirit, which He promised would teach us all things (John 14:26).

[the6man7]

why do revelations only happen to people when they are alone, and then why do their lies misconstrue other into buying into revealed religions. And then to top it off mix these false religions into politics, and there you have it, wars that will never end due to religious beliefs and acts. If people left religion alone, or kept it to their secret lives millions of other lives in the past would of been saved from the horrors of war.

[Dalessiokiller]

@the6man7

Same said for Moses...was he a liar?

[SonOfAdam777]

The only glimmers of celestial marriage in the NT are Peter's reference in 1 Peter 3:7 of being heirs of eternal life together, and also in Matthew 16 where the Saviour gives Peter the keys of sealing that whatsoever he binds on earth shall be bound in heaven.

[Feliscar]

Doctrine and Covenants 131 and 132 talks about eternal marriage.

In the spirit world, the stage between mortal life and the resurrection (reuniting of the body and spirit), is a time for "tying up loose ends," or taking care of necessary works before the Resurrection of the dead. This is where people who did not have a chance to receive the saving ordinances, such as baptism or marriage, have a chance to do it.

But after the resurrection, no more marriage.

[TheCrwilliams]

I still don't understand how the temple can make you be married in heaven when Jesus said in Matthew 22:30 about that there are no marriage in heaven or we will not be geting married. It says it in the Bible.

[lds9999]

That scripture reads, "For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven."

So you're right in understanding that we won't be GETTING married in heaven, but Jesus never says that there is no marriage heaven. Those who have been married for eternity through the priesthood on this earth will have that marriage last for eternity.

[TheyCallMeTheWind]

The people who built the temple in the bible were the Jews and there was only one. The Jews are forbidden to build a temple anywhere but on Mt. Mariah. So the tradition of building temples that the LDS church believes are based on falsehoods that a lost tribe of Israel built them in the new world. If they truly followed the laws of Moses as they claim (The Nephites) they would have never built a temple, let alone appoint non Levites to serve as priest within it.

[BigTallOx]

Weird that they need a huge/expensive building to isolate them from everything non-mormon, to be able to be near (their) god. Yes, as the video states, there were temples in the old testament. Jesus entered one of those temples and basically condemned it. Once you ask Jesus to enter your heart and be reborn there is no longer a need for temples or the masonic rituals performed inside.

[lds9999]

The temple allows peace and quiet away from the world where we can pray and meditate. This can bring us closer to our Father in Heaven.

[kayaksta]

I've always admired you Momon's temples such beautiful peaces of art. I've walked through the temple in New York when it was open to the public. For all non mormons, you should know it had a very peaceful, beautiful spirit about it. I trust my intuition when i say no evil is found there.

[lds9999]

Thanks for your comment. I wish everyone would have the opportunity to walk through a temple and feel those same things.

[Shulamitefire]

I still do want omiolo to know that God truly does love him, even with this comment not being approved. Because we disagree does not mean we should mince words and be short on love.

[lds9999]

"even with this comment not being approved."

I have always approved all of your comments. Please do not imply otherwise.

[omiolo]

In this video, Between Heaven and Earth, religious scholars of various faiths discuss the importance of temple worship from the time of Adam and Eve to modern man and provide a broad insight in the concept and need for temples. This first clip compares the modern Mormon temple to ancient temples as recorded in the Bible.

[omiolo]

"My observation is that a proper interview should take place at about six to eight week intervals," President Monson said. "If you have them more frequently than that, you will find they become too commonplace. If you wait a more lengthy period, you will probably miss some of the things that otherwise could be learned in an interview."

[omiolo]

In searching for the words and trying to find her voice for this duty, Megan reveals glimpses of her immediate families expectations, historical legacy, and rebellious and zany outtakes in this delicious collision of life smashing with conservative family values.

[Shulamitefire]

Face it folks, Mormons must pay with money by their mandatory tithing to even set foot inside the Mormon temple made with hands! This is Not God's idea. Ponder the parable of Luke 18 & get the salient sense of what Jesus is saying. And waving a temple recommend in the face of Father supposing to have won his favor is insult to His merciful heart, His glorious grace in Christ, & His power of Holy Spirit. Temple precept & practice is man-made religion & masonic meandering.

[lds9999]

Having a testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ and His gospel is a prerequisite to attending the temple. In addition, a few questions are asked to the person whether they follow the commandments as outlined by our Heavenly Father. This includes tithing (as discussed in Malachi). Should we not be willing to give back to our Father since He has blessed us wit h all that we have?

[Shulamitefire]

The Pharisee, like the temple recommend holder of today, had a testimony of God. He fasted & tithed, too. He was a very strict religionist & law keeper. He felt he had a recommend in the temple before God. Who does Jesus say returned home justified?

[lds9999]

Of course we are only justified through the grace of Christ. Keeping the commandments is worthless if we don't have faith that the grace of Christ, and not our own actions, will save us.

[Shulamitefire]

If you are only justified through the grace of Christ, then who are you trying to impress? To what purpose is a temple recommend if not for pretense & pride? The publican sinner in the Luke 18 parable did not have one & yet Jesus is telling us that he went home justified. In what did he make his boast? Compare this with the purpose of temples as decribed in Holy Scripture.

[lds9999]

I'm not trying to impress anybody. I realize you've never been a member of the LDS Church and therefore have a somewhat limited understanding of a temple recommend. Once I receive the recommend in a private interview with my bishop, it goes into the back of my wallet where I don't bring it back out again or even mention it until I go to the temple. When I go to Church on Sunday, nobody knows if I have a temple recommend and I don't know if they do, it has nothing to do with pride or pretense.

[lds9999]

I go to the temple to worship and feel closer to God, and to make covenants with Him. I know I will absolutely fall short in those covenants and therefore rely on the Savior to be my advocate with the Father.

[lds9999]

I find this discussion very ironic considering that you use your Youtube channel to promote a website called powertoprosperonline*com, which appears to be a "Christian" MLM system.

So what is the true purpose of your channel--to help others come unto Christ or to drum up business and referrals?

[Shulamitefire]

Like LDS, Inc. - both.

[dano13000]

I'm not so sure The Lord would approve of your sweeping judgment of the heart of every single LDS temple recommend holder being as those of the Pharisees. Remember that there is one Eternal Judge, Jesus Christ, not you sir.

[djwright44]

This is not a justifiable comparison. A more probably comparison of Pharisees is the modern day anti-Mormon who supposes he/she speaks for God: Christ brought new and difficult to accept doctrine and the Pharisees rejected him. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints also brings an open canon of scripture and a proclamation that God lives and his Son Jesus Christ continues to reveal great things: a beautiful concept outrightly rejected by fundamentalist Evangelicals.

[Shulamitefire]

Truth-esteeming anti-Mormonistics' pushed the LDS church to come clean on its horrendous history & its false foundational claims, and stop marketing its evasive, white-washed, cover-up propaganda.

[solarflare311]

@Shulamitefire what false foundation claims and cover up propaganda,your the one thats hurling hate propaganda toward a certain religous group,you kind of remind of hitler,your pretty doing the same thing that he did!

[Shulamitefire]

To discontinue the loss of God's favor the church is going to have to do exactly that, even if it means a mass exodus of members. Will the leadership have the spiritual guts? Very probably, most cultural/social members would remain a remnant, being lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, desiring the reverence & honor of men rather than the fear & praise of God.

[lds9999]

I trust a prophet of God far more than I trust your opinion. :)

[omiolo]

shulamitefire,

you are VERY judgmental. so quick to make every one who is trying to do good appear less than you.

I think you should STOP.

[Shulamitefire]

omiolo: I still want you to know that God loves you.

[lds9999]

My guess would be that omiolo knows, as do all members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, that he is a son of a Heavenly Father who loves him.

It is a beautiful message that we want to make sure all of our brothers and sisters in the world know and understand.

[Shulamitefire]

omiolo: I pray you be drawn ever further into the living flames of blazing love intimacy with the uncreator Creator. Oh, the splendor of surrender to the superscendent Son. Great HE IS and greatly to be praised!

[solarflare311]

@Shulamitefire wow what a "loving" christian you are for wanting someone to burn in hell

[omiolo]

In 1906, President Joseph F. Smith toured the jail on his way home from his European tour and "wept uncontrollably at the site of the dark stain of his father's blood."

[omiolo]

More and more Mormons started visiting the jail even though the church still kept it as a private residence. In 1904, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir went through and in 1905 a mission president organized a conference in Nauvoo and Carthage with a visit to the jail included

[omiolo]

In 1903, the current owner of Carthage Jail decided to sell it to the LDS Church for $4,000. "Their decision guaranteed that the jail would be preserved," explained Cannon, "and Latter-day Saints would control any on-site interpretation of the martyrdom."

[et00et]

Yes, the apostles were martyred but b4 they died, they had chosen leaders to continue their works. BATON-TOUCH...And u need to remember that if God really exist, He is not crazy enough letting His enemy destroy His group, the CHURCH. Lucifer cannot and will not defeat Jesus Christ! Only a fool will claim about it..that is why Joseph the foolish Smith is fool! How dare Smith insult Jesus Christ of being the unresponsible Leader of His Church/Group!

[lds9999]

Youv'e now copied and pasted this comment on multiple of my videos with multiple of your accounts. That qualifies as spam.

Please see my response to your comment on my other video.

[et00et]

Yes, because you had deleted it. Are you afraid about the truth??

[lds9999]

You posted the same comment exactly twice, so I did delete one. Not sure what's wrong with that.

Afraid of the truth? No. I just don't like copying and pasting my answers to your exact same questions. It's on the other video you asked it.

[et00et]

God doesnt want His chosen group the Church to be detroyed by Lucifer. Eventhough Adam and Eve committed the 1st sin, God did not forsake them. So it would be illogical, absurd and fool to say that God had started His group the Church and then vanished??? You people must be crazy! Dont delet it again.

[lds9999]

But he allowed Adam and Eve to suffer the consequences.

The same is true with the apostasy. He let His children suffer the consequences for persecuting and murdering the apostles, etc.

He restored the Church through the prophet Joseph Smith.

[groundhog0339]

"His children" suffered for persecuting and murdering the apostles? Excuse me. And this suffering was "apostasy" for nearly 2000 years.

Are you kidding? We know what the apostles said and what they meant. Unless, the disciples of the Apostles were big fat liars.

If you subscribe to that view, Dan Brown would like to buy the rights to the book.

[omiolo]

"Yes, the apostles were martyred"

How was John the Beloved martyred?

[et00et]

Yes, the apostles were martyred but it doesnt mean that they were ALL martyred.

[TrueSaintsLDS]

The Christians that held the authority from God were killed off and the foundation that the Apostles represented to the church according to Ephesians 2:20-21 so the church fell into apostacy and into dark days void of revelation fulfilling Amos 8:11-12

but June 1843 the restoration of the Holy Priesthood to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery by the resurrected ancient apostles Peter, James and John.

The book of Mormon is the Word of God.

[bbahira]

Oh my goodness! You are accusing God Himself to be fool and irreponsible as the Leader of His group, the real Church! If this God will let His group, the Church, to be defeated by His enemy, Lucifer, then, you need to worship Lucifer and obey Lucifer than God. Since Lucifer is more responsible, more powerful and more logical than God! BUT THAT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE!!! So, I cant believe in your reasoning!!! You are all insane!!!

[lds9999]

God is not a fool. However, he respects the agency of His children here on earth. Therefore, we can make decisions that are not what God wants but He allows it to happen. The same has happened since the very beginning--look at Adam and Eve.

[groundhog0339]

Wait!

Even if the Apostles weren't killed off, they would have surely died of old age (as the Apostle John did).

However, it was the Holy Spirit's job to guide Christ's church not any man. That is why we reject the pope.

There is a complete and valid line of Christian thought from the first century until today. Their doctrines are essentially the same (a few apostates aside).

They NEVER endorsed the uniquely Mormon doctrine or theology ... and thus they were apostate, right?

[lds9999]

That's absolutely right that the original Apostles would have died eventually. However, they would have been able to convene, know the will of the Lord, and call another apostle to the Twelve.

Because they were spread throughout the Old World and killed in doing so, this was not an option. Therefore, the priesthood was eventually lost from the earth.

[groundhog0339]

All believers are part of the priesthood with Jesus as the high priest. The apostles were given the charge to spread the gospel (which they did).

That said, Jesus did not establish a lasting hierarchy or priesthood here on earth. The Holy Spirit is supposed to aid and comfort the believers.

Now, the apostles did give us the New Testament canon. However, so did Jesus' brothers (James and Jude), the writer of Hebrews (Apollos?), as well as Mark (Peter's scribe) and Luke (a doctor and historian).

[omiolo]

In this video, Between Heaven and Earth, religious scholars of various faiths discuss the importance of temple worship from the time of Adam and Eve to modern man and provide a broad insight in the concept and need for temples.

[ViolaJaneShain1929]

The Roman Catholic church was established 235 years after the remaining apostles were martyred. It claims authority through Peter who had been dead for many years. Martin Luther established the Lutheran church, which was the first protestant church. Protestant meaning those who protest against the heresy in the Catholic church. All other protestant churches spun off later. You can decide for your self where their authority came from. The Jews had it, but lost it and they know it.

[bbahira]

Remember that there were many groups who did not follow the call of CATHOLIC to unite all local churches under Rome as one CATOLIC CHURCH. The Baptists were the one who did not follow the Catholic. The baptists were persecuted by Catolics since they were rebaptizing those erroneous Catholics after the latter heard the real doctrine of Christ.

[bbahira]

alexgomez2, you dont read histoy, do you??? FIRST: it is an insult to Jesus Christ to say that His built church was defeated by Lucifer and restored by Joseph Smith. SECOND, the Baptists are the only group of Christian that can traced their root to Christ. Read Trail of Blood and Christian, John T "A History of the Baptist"

[lds9999]

Can never heard that claim from a Baptist. Would you mind sharing the short version?

[bbahira]

It is very simple. The Church that Jesus Christ had built must logically be existing since Jesus Himself had built it! And the members are Baptists.

[omiolo]

"it is an insult to Jesus Christ to say that .."

I do NOT think you are the correct person to decide that about Jesus the Christ. Leave that to the Saints of God.

[bbahira]

You dont understand. Any religions can claim of revelations just like Joseph Smith had made. Logically speaking, if Jesus Christ built His Church, it will never be defeated by Lucifer. So all Mormons are in error.

[StorminMormin91]

And yet, the Apostles were martyred, and Christ ascended. Also, he as well as the apostles prophesied of the apostasy.

[solarflare311]

@bbahira and so how arent you in error? lol

[swesleyc7]

Deu 18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.

I mean this sincerely. I am saddened by mormanism.

[lds9999]

Thanks for that scripture. However, I'm not sure why you're saddened by Mormonism. It is amazing that God continues to speak through prophets today.

[swesleyc7]

Riddle me this... why is there a (golden) statue of their leader/creator on top of their temple and not a cross? Think on it.

[lds9999]

Because you cannot even properly identify who the statue is of, I question how much you really know about our faith.

Jesus Christ is the center of our faith and our worship. He is the Son of God, and Savior of the world.

[isomfamily]

Your answer can be found at Revelation 14:7 in the New Testament. Regarding the cross, it only became a symbol of Christ centuries after his death and resurrection (and the martrydom of the early church leaders/apostles).

[rbvmtr]

this statue is not a leader or creator but is the resurrected angel Moroni the last prophet who kepted the records (the book of mormon) He stands blowing a horn usering in the restoration of the gosple. We do not use crosses be cause they represent death but we use a spire to represent His (Jesus) ressurection and acention to heaven

[hillplus]

Kremlin59,

you really should ask someone who has lived both lives. They would tell you something different. I know a person who was a very orthodox Jew and converted to the LDS faith. His statement was that Jews are old Mormons and Mormons are new Jews.

[Kremlin59]

Please dont ever compare mormonism to the ancient religion of Judaism. They are as opposite as two religions can be. It is profoundly offensive to an orthodox Jewish person. Mormonism has no Jewish roots like Christianity does. The God of Judaism and Christianity and even Islam is very different from the anthropomorphic god of mormonism.

[lds9999]

Are you an orthodox Jew?

[alexgomez2]

The God is NOT that "very different". The only difference between the current concept of both Judaism & Christianity is the fact that Mormons believe God is a real person, with parts and passions. In terms of the very godly nature of God; his grace, love and mercy as well as power and glory, Mormons believe in a supernal God that seems in many respects appear greater and more merciful and loving than that of the aforementioned religions. The comments in this video are made by non-Mormons.

[LDSTrueChurch]

Only todays views of Judaism changed from what Moses taught and what the rest of the Prophets spoke of.  The Tribe of judah missed the mark. The first shall be the last and the last shall be the first.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints leads its people by revelation thru prophecy and it is the church foreseen by all the Old testament Prophets since the dawn of mankind.

This contains thoughtful comments by a variety of well-educated people for serious-minded individuals interested in learning more about the beliefs of others.

[1997icecream]

Excellent video. Amazing how many out there choose to look for the negative instead of the positive and continue to criticize the LDS people. So much easier to point out what you consider flaws instead of looking for the good in every one.

[softlysouthern]

Beautil!!. No matter what Religion you are. Good people, a little too devoted for me, but wonderful Familes and good friends.

[asudiver1]

The first one I went into was the Frankfurt Germany Temple. I was in the military. I've since traveled and visited Temples in California, Texas, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, New York, Utah, and Tennessee. They are a place of tranquility, a place to ponder. I respect other's beliefs and don't down them for having them. So please give me the same respect.

[saggley]

[lds9999]

That is an incredibly well-thought out comment.

[chowmannyfood]

you are all wasting your time watching this video, and those of you who are leaving very specific places to look for answers, are wasting even more of your time.

[lds9999]

I don't think watching this video is a waste of time.

[fidancool04]

Can anyone tell me that what is the difference b/w christians and mormons?

[sleepr22000]

Sure...I'm a Mormon and Mormons believe Jesus Christ is the son of God and atoned for our sins and that only through him can we be saved. He is my Redeemer. The reason people differentiate between The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (mormons) and protestant Christians is because Mormons believe that priesthood authority was lost when the original apostles were killed and that there was a great apostacy during which the full gospel was no longer on the earth (dark ages).

[et00et]

The difference is very big:

Real Christians are those believers who are CONNECTED to the original group (Church) that Jesus Christ had made on 33 AD. Mormons are group of deceived people who followed a moronic angel and moronic prophet who accdg to the Mormon was the source of remaking a NEW group (Church) and has no connecton to the original group that Jesus Christ was formed 2000 years ago. In short, a counterfeit to the original group "Church" of Jesus Christ.

[musher828]

If the adage be true that by their fruits ye shall know them, then I wish to have nothing to do with you nor the vitriol with which you have demonized the mormon church. You don't seem like a kindly, tolerant individual.

[KJoperadiva]

Yup, it's either the Mormons or the Catholics who have a leg to stand on as far as being "connected" to New Testament Christianity. Either the Catholics have had it all along or there was a falling away and the restoration lies within the Mormon church. Protestants broke away from the connected traditions . . .

[sw6349]

You obviously have strong feelings about Mormons, if not really any comment specifically about this video, that you want to express. You might want to find someone with English spelling, grammar and composition skills, not to mention some social graces, to help you become a more effective advocate for your position.

[alexgomez2]

It's curious that the "Real Christian" claim to be lead by "ordained" ministers. I wonder what is it that being ordained mean to them. As far as I know among those who profess to carry the authority of Jesus Priesthood are the Catholics and the Mormons. The former who believe the uninterrupted line of succession from Peter and the latter who believe that a restauration was necessary. I wonder where do the protestant "ordained" ministers obtain their authority. Please explain!

[SMB4123]

Sure, there isn't any. A Christian is someone who believes in the teachings of Jesus Christ and has decided to pattern their life after those teaching and Him. An LDS person is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We believe in Christ and we teach of Christ and we testify of Christ..

Other churches that also claim Christian belief do likewise. They are Christian and so are the LDS (Mormons0 End of Story

End of Story

[Shulamitefire]

A similar thought is found on page 48 in the full-color LDS Church publication entitled Temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It says that "no unclean person has the right to enter God's house." Compare this with Luke 18:11-14, Jesus' parable of the Pharisee and the publican in the temple.

[Shulamitefire]

Tenth LDS President Joseph Fielding Smith stated: Of course there are people who are not worthy to go to the temple, and therefore should not go to the temple. No one should go to the temple except those who are worthy.... (Doctrines of Salvation 2:61)

[Tones91]

And your point is?

[stevergrantspass]

This is a well produced series of Videos.

Actually from my point of view the Hebrew Temple was fulfilled in meaning when Jesus died on the cross and God's Spirit came to indwell the believer. The house of the Holy Ghost became the believers instead of an ediface.-- How about a video Response on this? Thanks stevergrantspass (Evangelical Christian)

Thank you for posting this. I was just called to teach a Temple Preparation class and these videos have helped to deepen my understanding of the temple.

don't focus on the physical. Heaven and Earth shall pass away,

I noticed all your references came from the old testament-any from the New testament?

That is why we have temples, so we can focus on the eternities. I love to visit the temple because it allows me to forget the stresses of my life and focus on those things that matter most.

Wonderful.. Beautiful.. Praise the Lord! This is a wonderful film that explains not only about LDS Temples.. but Temples in general. The people speaking are both LDS and Non LDS Leaders.
