Nibley: Mormons Like Temple Secrecy

 Hugh Nibley: A Consecrated Life, 361 “What the Mormons like best about their temples is the obligation of secrecy that exonerates them from ever having to speak, and hence to think, about what they have learned by the ordinances and teachings. So strict are they in observing the confidential nature of those teachings that they, for the most part, scrupulously avoid dropping so much as a hint to outsiders by putting any of them into practice.” — Hugh Nibley

Mark 4:22 “For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.”

Ironically, one of the problems Israelites had with Jesus was their inability to understand what He was saying. He preached openly in the temple Jn 18:20, and said nothing secretly.

Why is it Mormons can’t take a page from Jesus’ example? Even their own historian chastised them for secret temple oaths.

Pray for those who are diligently spending time and money on these necromantic routines!

With Love in Christ;
