Thank You for visiting LDS NEXT the Mormon Community Portal. We plan to expand in 2010 and are looking for featured guest bloggers, articles, and contributors. If you would like to oversee a section of this site please let us know.
Thank you. Feel free to download and upload it to your account.
I made this to be kind of a “pass along” video to help all people understand a bit more about what the Temple is, and hopefully to get them to come to the open house if at all possible.
Thanks for the video. How do I go about downloading the video so I can post it to my own account?
My wife’s parents got tickets for us to go to the dedication of this temple. It’s going to be way awesome!
Depends on if you’re working on a mac or pc. You can google search how to, or look up a vid on youtube how to.
I’ve seen a lot of “Inside the temple” videos, and I think this is the best one.
It’s simple, shorter than most, you used clips that explain the main topics of family and a personal connection to God, and then concluded with a testimony of an Apostle.
What could be better? Thank you for this. Good job.
And here I thought the Bible says that God does not dwell in temples made with human hands. These Mormons are a sappy bunch.
Sappy? Probably but that doesn’t concern doctrine. First, the LDS temple is based on the ancient Jewish temple. Early texts like “The Pearl” or the “Odes of Thomas” or even the Egyptian Book of Breathings are surprising Mormon and surprisingly applicable to the LDS teachings about the Plan of Salvation.
The temple doesn’t teach Mormons anything new per se. The Book of Mormon contains the entire plan of salvation. That being said, the temple is like the Lab portion of a math class.
We must do all the book work before hand, and then in the lab is where give context and practical application of what we have learned.
As far God dwelling in temples or not, do you not believe in the Old Testament? Did God appear to Moses on Sinai? Did he write the original set of commandments on the stone tablets? If so, why can’t he appear to his people in a place that they sacrificed for and dedicated with His authority? He DOES appear in His Temples because He IS the LORD and Redeemer
apologiamixer’s quote: “And here I thought the Bible says that God does not dwell in temples made with human hands. These Mormons are a sappy bunch.”
um..so can you explain why Jesus got so upset that people were defiling his fathers house…that he even took a whip ..no where else do we see Jesus get upset like he does about his Father’s house in the scriptures…I guess temples don’t matter then right?..oh for your information…that scripture is refering to PAGAN temples not God’s temples.
MORMON SCRIPTURES in 2009 say when people are BAD Mormon God CURSES them BLACK
“…they WERE WHITE…and DELIGHTSOME…Lord God did cause a SKIN OF BLACKNESS to come upon them(Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 5:21)”
when people become GOOD the MORMON GOD TURNS there SKIN WHITE
“12…the Lamanites who had become converted unto the Lord did unite with their brethren,the Nephites…
15 And their curse was taken from them, and their SKIN became WHITE like unto the Nephites(Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 2:12-15)”
Why do mormons use water instead of wine or grape juice in the communion?
“Why do mormons use water instead of wine or grape juice in the communion?” They water down the truth, replace the cross of Christ with a statue of Moroni masquerading as an angel of light, & bastardized the Bible with their all their admix & twistology. It might shock people to know how many cents on the dollar of tithe money are spent on temples compared with actual cents on the dollar given to help the poor & needy. See this on YouTube: “Mormon Temples Compared with the Biblical Temple.”
Wow! Mandatory tithing (paying) to be able to wave a temple recommend in the face of Father, supposing to have won His favor. Soak in Luke 18 & get the Holy Spirit sense of what Jesus is saying about such presumption & pride. Attempt thinking in your heart & believing with your mind as a disciple of Christ who has not been preconditioned by a man-made religious system, a religion that mixes enough truth with error to present its system as palatable & plausible to the spiritually undiscerning.
Jesus declares that only wine is symbolic of His shed blood. No wonder the Mormon church is so poor in God’s economy! They belittle the blood & the cross of Christ. They replace water for the blood & a trumpet for the cross.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God (1Cor. 1:18). But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world (Gal. 6:14).
We have replaced the wine with water because of the Word of Wisdom. We do not consume Alcholic Beverages. D&C 89:57.
We don’t focus much on the death of Christ, but rather his life. The Miracles performed, the people helped, and the burdens lifted. We do believe that he died on the Cross on Calvary Hill for the sake of man and for the atonment. We believe all men are saved through the atonment, but his life was a miraculous one. We do not ‘belittle’ the blood of Christ, nor the Cross on which
he was crucified by the PEOPLE. I love my Savior. I know that he lived. You saying that I belittle how he died to save everyone is hurtful. I hope that one day you become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and are able to walk into this beautiful place we call God’s House. It is the most spirtiual thing I have ever done. I hope that this maybe helps you understand more of what we do and why we do it.
What about the Word of Wisdom Who Is God? See John 1 which says that the Word is God. See 1 Cor.1 that says that God has made Christ as our Wisdom. Why bow to the word of mere man, rather than your Maker? Jesus in NT used & instructs wine in remembrance of His shed blood covenant for the remission of sins. This is an example of what I mean by LDS mormonizing & bastardizing the Bible. Please take extreme care.
I ask, though, why does the Mormon church have Moroni blowing a trumpet occupying the place of the cross of Christ? Should not Christ have the actual preeminence? Is Moroni equal to Christ? Is not the cross of Christ truly the centrality of the gospel? Without the cross there would be no resurrection. With the preaching of the cross is the power of God unto salvation.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God (1Cor. 1:18). But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world (Gal. 6:14).

Mormon Temples Compared with the Biblical Temple
Let me ask you something, do you believe that if you do not proclaim Christ as your redeemer and savior here on earth, than you go to hell?
Shulamitefire:
What does the Cross symbolize? I believe it symbolizes our Savior’s atoning sacrifice, his death. Without His Atonement, all mankind would be forever lost. No one can be saved save they turn to Christ their Redeemer, repent, and partake of His Atonement. This is supported in all of our scripture, both old and new.
