“The Jerusalem Temple was a place where you went to carry out Holy Acts”
Yes, we have restored that meaning to the Temple!
Precious lesson about the meaning of God’s Temples. Most of the world lack this fundamental knowledge of the difference between chapel and Temple, and the specific purpose of each one in helping us to grow spiritually and reach our divine potential as children of Heavenly Parents. Thanks!!!
Five new Temples were announced yesterday.
The Italian Saints seem the MOST joyful. But Saints all around the world rejoice in the building up of Zion here on this earth!
Sweet! Pretty amazing considering that country hosts the seat of the Roman Catholic faith, Vatican City.
Don’t you wonder why the cross is nowhere to be found on Mormon temples and LDS Church buildings? The cross is where our victory over death took place, and yet the LDS Church won’t have anything to do with it. The apostle Paul tells us that, “the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God” (1 Cor. 1:18) Satan opposes the cross.
They build temples to hide their perverted illegal actions. they have much to hide.
i dont need a temple..my body is a living temple for the lord
Johnyjamie It is not a matter of the opposing the cross, we Latter Day Saints full acknowledge the victory over the bands of death, look at it this way. If Christ was put to death by stoning (which was the jewish form of execution) would you put a big rock on the top of your Church building or on a necklace? or If our Lord was Executed with a knife would you glorify the knife? No I dont believe you would…I hope I have helped your understanding as was my goal.
My understanding is, like all Mormons, you are lost and in need of the truth of the Bible (not to twist, omit, add to, or contradict God’s word)!
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Gal 1:6-8
Cool. Can you get married to your wife for time and all eturnity inside your temple. I can in mine.LOL
For time and eternity, huh? Hey, is Marie Osmond still married for time and eternity?
such as…., come on and tell me, come on
I used to live in South America, in Chile, and the only church that used the Cross was the Catholic Church. The Christian evangelical churches down there were opposed to using it to adorn their buildings as well.
Whether the Christian building have crosses on them or not, they understand what the cross was all about. This is something LDS don’t get. If they did, they wouldn’t be working for their place in heaven. Jesus did all the finished work on the cross. Now those who accept his free gift will have eternal life with him. The temple veil was torn from top to bottom when Jesus died giving free access to the thrown of grace. Joseph Smith sewed the veil back up!
Check out the new Temple recently
dedicated to our Lord.
All are the House of the Lord, holy of holiness of places.
the theology of the cross goes back the the new testament and the early church. you can read in the Gospels that you must take up your cross and follow Jesus. from the beginning christians have used as their symbol and sign the cross of Christ. St. Peter refused to be crucified in the same way as Christ, asking to be hung upside-down. this is just one example of the total reverence the cross has had in Christian history.
