I have a question. a mormon said they don't swim on sunday because the devil controls the waters, if that is true how come their communion consists of torn bread and WATER, instead of wafers and wine?take this all of you and drink from it, this is a cup of my blood which will be shed for you and for all. I believe jesus was drinking wine when he said this.

@acecab123 Common mormon myth stemming from a rule that missionaries aren't allowed to swim... the reason is only that we don't allow missionaries to engage in "high risk" activities, swimming being one of them. Some missions prohibit playing basketball too, no devil in the hoops either, though BYU would say differently after their Florida loss this year. :)

If you dont understand the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints then stop. Your comments are not entitled opinions its a mockery to those who believe and have faith in their own religion. I suggest to all those closed minded ppl to go to a you tube clip that you might actually like. No one wants you here. Also, man chose to live a selfish life (polygamy) not the religion. The way mormons live their lives are just the same as you do yours. Religion is not to blame, disgusting people are.

@beautifulaitutaki I created this video for the temple open house, and created a copy at the same time the HBO special ran (the week before) to combat that and offer a very true view of the temple and why we have temples. The video, I think, does a good job to explain the holiness of the building and doesn't, I hope, take away anything from the spirit of temples.

@beautifulaitutaki Perhaps some wonder why I don't moderate the comments. The reason is that no matter what someone feels or says in the comments section, I hope the spirit of the temple, the hope of the temple, and the importance of Jesus Christ and the atonement as explained int he Temple touches their life in some small way. Of course they can say horrible things, but truth, explained with love and meekness, pierces hearts easier than bolstering antagonism.

so wait.. mormons believe they will become gods?

[goodgirlkay]

I think lds are mistaken if they believe that they alone believe that they will see and be with their loved ones after death. As a Christian it just seems like natural justice, that God who created families would unite them in heaven. I don't think I need to do masonic rituals in order for this to happen...Secondly, These temples are basically nice hotel lounges with nice upholstered chairs and a movie theatre...They have noting to do with the ancient temple...I have nothing against lds...

@acecab123 I am mormon and I am pretty sure I don't think the devil controls the waters LOL whoever said that is full of it..

[ihearanewworld]

@beautifulaitutaki I understand the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have been through the temple and felt some approximation of "the spirit" while there. That said, everyone is entitled to their opinions - grow a thicker skin. If something is a mockery, its temple ceremony.

@leydemurphy Why? I don't get that

[leydemurphy]

@DiscipleInstinct that's right...

[amyleoness]

Using the Bible to prove that the Book of Mormon is true, is like using "Pinnochio" to prove that "Cinderella" is true. Both Fantasy. Both Stories. Both Fiction.

@kdeerslayer - It is marriage that is designed to last beyond the typical "until death to us part" that you hear in other religious and non-religious marriage ceremonies. In Matthew 16, the Savior gave Peter power to "bind" both on earth and in heaven. That authority is the basis for the LDS belief of being "sealed" not just on earth, or for time, but in heaven, or for eternity. The LDS doctrine is that the same authority given to Peter has been restored and is put into effect in the temple.
