Well it's come right out of the mouths of some mormons that their undergarments are more than something holy. They claim they're some kind of protection that defies physical reality. That they protect them from harm, fire, injury, and who knows what else. If they give their undergarments magical powers then people are going to say you claim they're magical. Seems pretty simple. If they're not magical, then you need to talk to your fellow mormons and tell them to stop claiming they are.

You know, people can credit whatever they like. For me, if I had an experience that had protected me from fire or the like, I would give credit to God. Some people have shared experiences where a bullet was stopped by a Bible or Book of Mormon in their pocket. It does not mean that the scriptures are magical in this sense. They are only paper. It would most likely be a faith promoting experience but I would give credit to God and my faith in Him.

I am grateful, however, that nobody as sunk to the level of forcing us to remove them, that would be tragic, wouldn't it? I mean, whats it hurting you if a group of 'crazy' people want to wear special clothes to try and better worship God?

@monty287 That would explain why, in the book of Luke, after Christ's ascension, the apostles went straight to worship in the temple at Jerusalem. It only seems logical that after being taught by Him for 40 days that their most immediate actions would be a reaction to His teachings.

@manderbos There has recently been found the writings of Peter. While the first half mirrors almost exactly the Book of Mark in the Bible, the last half goes into great detail of what the Savior Jesus Christ taught during the 40 days after His resurrection. It goes into the greater need for the temple ordinances (baptism for the dead, eternal marriage, etc.) and tells how to perform them in minute detail.

crazy people are funny.

Excellent video. The fact that Anti-mormons feel the need to contend with the truth shows how right you are Bro. Great video.

Watch my vid "From the Tabernacle to the Temple". The New Testament says that Jesus attended the temple daily. You will also find that Christians and the apostles attended the temple on a daily basis even after they received the Holy Spirit.

[janellerules]

Yes, but they must wear the undergarments and never show their upper arms.

[manderbos]

Once the apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit, they went out and preached the gospel of salvation through Jesus, healing the sick as they went. They did not attend temple ceremonies any longer, for they would not be anymore welcomed in the temple, than Jesus was. Chrisians met in homes at first and it grew from there and has continued to this day.

"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands.

Acts 17:23-25

Thanks for the comment. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost. This was also true of early Christians, including the apostles who regularly attended the Temple in Jerusalem. True that we no longer need animal sacrifce but temples have a new significance. The temples today are Melchezidek Priesthood Temples and not the old Aaronic Priesthood Temples. As far as wearing garments, that is something I believe in but thanks for respectfully disagreeing.
