What A Beautiful Temple!!

[neilnora]

Most beautiful!

[fredphellipssdriver]

I have not been in this temple, but they do have an armed security guard. Does he use a Glock like the Vatican's Swiss Guard? And, my understaning is that the Vatican Pope is over both the living Mormon presidency and Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith himself must give an account to the Pope. So, Catholics should never convert to Mormonism.

[soultaker76]

uhhhhh...............that doesn't even make sense. The Pope has nothing to do with Mormonism  Your understanding is wrong. The President of the LDS church is Thomas S Monson. He is in the First Presidency and is called the "prophet/seer/revelator" of the church. He does not report to the Pope nor does the Pope report to Monson.

Were are the rides round that thingy? Stick it up some body parts of you...It is boring and upsetting...

[soultaker76]

?????

[JustPhil22]

I just don't like religion in any form... I just canceled my LDS membership. I am a better person now. Raising temples, non-regarding how beautiful they might be, is just ridiculous considering what they stand for.

WHICH CHURCH IS THE CORRECT ONE?

``Where the Bishop is, there let the multitude of believers be; even as where Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church'' Ignatius of Antioch, 1st c. A.D

[soultaker76]

There's plenty of other threads you can go debate on. Please, this video is just footage of a temple building in Las Vegas. I don't want it to become a shootout.

I personally don't believe the LDS claims, nor do I believe the Catholics are a "one true church". That being said there's plenty of other videos to make arguments in besides this one which argues no point, just shows footage of a building.

[JustPhil22]

I personally don't believe religion is anything except stupid and dangerous.

Anyway, Mormons believe that LDS is the rebuilt form of the native Church that once has been made up by Jesus Christ himself. They believe that Joseph Smith has re-established this true native church on the american continent in the 19th century, after God and Jesus told him so when they appeared him in a vision. He stated they told him to find and translate that book of mormon they use in addition to the bible.

Jesus promised, "I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18).

Meaning his church (Catholic) will never be destroyed by bad members & anti-Catholics until his return.

Why Protestant Bible Scholars Converting to The Roman Catholic Church?

We began to see that as non-Catholics, in good faith we had submitted our lives to Jesus Christ on our terms, not his.

We had no other terms. Our Christian lives had been based on our interpretation of Scriptures or that of other persons whom we had chosen to follow.

CATHOLICS HAS 4 QUALITIES: 1) FAITH Yep we have that! + Good works 2) REASONS of what & why WE BELIEVE Protestants just believed in the bible alone Burger King Christianity "Have it your way" is NOT biblical 3) SCRIPTURES The bible is a Catholic book; the Vulgate (385 AD) is the first bible. 4) APOSTLES SACRED Traditions It can trace back it's Traditions all the way to the apostles Acts 2:42, 2 Timothy 2:2, etc. ==== THE BIBLE + CHURCH HISTORY = 100% TRUTH ====

[JustPhil22]

Not true, those who wrote the bible were not christians. Christian cults started AFTER Jesus is said to have come on earth. But he existed from the beginning of the new testimony. A lot of ppl in this book are jewish, muslime, egyptian etc etc. The bible is not a christian book, it just builds the fundament of their teachings and doctrines.

[junmeskie]

Thomas Smith was raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and can trace his lineage back seven generations.

In this talk, he shares his beliefs and incredible experiences as a Mormon missionary in Alabama and how this led him to convert and become a Protestant minister and later enter the Catholic Church.

Mr. Smith is a popular speaker and the author of Inside Mormonism

YAHOO thomas smith mormon convert

[pinadulce69]

Thanks for the video.

I remember going through the open house with our youth group from California.

Beautifully stunning architecture and peaceful grounds that makes me want to go back and visit!

[soultaker76]

I gave a thumbs down to you. Sorry, I didn't realize you were a prophet or God himself. Thought you were just some guy coming to my video to stir up crap on a video that shows footage of a building for no reason.

Look, I'm a Christian, I'm an exmormon, I'm a critic of the church. That being said, this is not a debate, it's a video of a building. If you want to debate, get off your butt and make a video of your own. Then you can cut down people all you want.

[soultaker76]

It's a video of a building. Why are you leaving those kinds of posts? Go debate on a video that actually has a debate going on.

[soultaker76]

So the Catholic church is rich, what does that prove. No, freedom of religion goes both ways. You can't drive out Mormons just like you can't drive out Catholics.

I'm a Baptist and don't want to be driven out either.

[0813984]

Well said. Thank you.

[0813984]

Please drop the mockery and sarcasm. It's really not necessary. As soultaker76 said, please show some respect.

[tonyjay]

You show some respect you idiot. What a shameful waste of money these so called temples are. The Mormon Church is a living symbol of racism, homophobia, intolerance and hatred. Hey Mormons: ROT IN HELL!!!!!

[soultaker76]

"You show some respect you idiot. What a shameful waste of money these so called temples are. The Mormon Church is a living symbol of racism, homophobia, intolerance and hatred. Hey Mormons: ROT IN HELL!!!!!"

Wow, no hatred there. Take your gay agenda somewhere else. This is a video of a building.

[JustPhil22]

How you are stating this, is indeed inadequate. But nonetheless true in many points. Mormonism promotes racism, intolerance, homophobia etc etc and blows a lot of money into their propaganda to make the org appear nice, while members of them in all parts of the world are hungry or do not have adequate homes. I don't even start about ppl in hard times which are not members of their church. Search, ponder and pray are pretty insufficient answers considering all of those issues they just lie away.

[palindromemc]

thats where I was married!!

too bad it's a sham!

:(

freemason rituals..

google it!

sad but true!

[0813984]

I am very sorry to know that you feel that way. No. The teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are not a sham. The teachings are true. You new that once, unless, you never gained a personal testimony. In that case, it's not too late; it's never too late. You just need to pray and study with sincerity and full purpose of heart, and you will receive an answer. If you had a testimony, it's too bad it's lost. I sincerely hope you find it again, someday.

-Best wishes

[JustPhil22]

nonsense...

[xiavalos]

thanks for the video, it's a beautiful temple and very special for me

[nakedwaterskier]

Twain laid into Smith's habit of peppering his otherwise fairly contemporary nineteenth-century prose with biblical-sounding words and phrases like 'exceeding sore', 'yea', 'exceedingly glad', 'unto', 'great joy', 'harkening' and 'smiting'. If, said Twain, Smith had left out his favourite phrase, 'And it came to pass', then his 500-page bible 'would only have been a pamphlet'.

[nonew3]

Pretty temple building.

[cosmicharmony]

Silly mislead cult people being pimped by the church!

[0813984]

Please be respectful. I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it if someone misjudged, mislabeled or spoke ill of your religion or personal beliefs. I don't expect you or anyone to agree with everything I say think or feel. I don't always agree with others. It's just that there is such a thing as respectfully disagreeing, and I would appreciate it if you took that to heart. Thank you.

[serged999]

sure, a lot of things are skipped over to avoid making the church look bad. History books does not mean mormon books my friend. But at least a book that is unbiased.

[charmkiller221]

Joseph smith is the so called 'Holy Prophet from god' who practice polygamism,murder people...and so on. So what is that temple for or you would say what is mormonism for.........Fuck....mormon sucks big time

[serged999]

Do your research. Your post is completely incorrect and uneducated. Most information concerning Mormonism is anti-mormon propaganda. To learn about mormonism, read a history book.

[soultaker76]

I don't even know what polygamism is. Sounds like a multi-celled organism.

As far as I know, there is no record of Joseph Smith murdering anybody. According to the LDS, Smith was a polygamist. The Community of Christ (RLDS) denies this. Polygamy ended in the church (at least officially) in 1890.

And please be respectful and drop the bad language.

[soultaker76]

Mormons don't pray to Moroni. But you are right that they have to be paid up to enter the temple. I don't know of any other church that has something like that.

But still, this thread is not a Mormon bashing moment. It's just a chance to look at a pretty building. Holy to some, not to others.

[soultaker76]

ok, you fooled me with the humbly statement, but you're no Mormon. Neither am I, but show some respect please.

[soultaker76]

That was humble? Remember to think about your catch phrases before you say them.

[sjcotts]

God does not erect temples in Sodom. This is a casino where you wager your soul to the devil. The temple of God is not made of stone but truth and spirit and can be found in the heart of every honest man.

[soultaker76]

Although Vegas has casinos and such, it is not Sodom. That is just what you see on TV. There is alot more to the town than that.

That being said, I am not Mormon I am a Fundamentalist Christian. But still I ask all to show repect on this thread for those that are.

[ilgbf]

A rather ugly damn shack. It should be torn down and a new one built. Wait, even the new ones are ugly. Except Cardston Temple though. That one kicks ass.

[8122556]

Okay,,Thanks anyways.

[8122556]

LDs had one of the best choir's, but why there isn't any music? Bad advertising!

[soultaker76]

It's not an ad. Nor am I LDS. It's footage I shot there while doing a wedding video.

It's not a religious statement, just footage.

[hstormchaser]

william ray hayes you have a court order in louisiana

[quikgold91]

Hey I've been there! totally! you could do with some music tho
