August 24 – Temple Oaths are Secret NOT Sacred. Luke 11:33; “No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.”

Once again, the LDS teachings are at direct opposite of what Jesus declares. When is enough, enough?

“And just as fast as you prove to Him that you will preserve everything secret that ought to be—that you will deal out to your neighbours all which you ought, and no more, and learn how to dispense your knowledge to your families, friends, neighbours, and brethren, the Lord will bestow upon you, and give to you, and bestow upon you, until finally he will say to you, “You shall never fall; your salvation is sealed unto you; you are sealed up unto eternal life and salvation, through your integrity.”— Brigham Young, 28 June 1857, Journal of Discourses, 4:371-372.
Thank goodness those ´secrets´ change with the times. No more pantomiming slashing my neck or disemboweling myself. No more protestant minister paid by Satan. *Let´s not talk about all that the GAs get. Somehow all their expenses are covered and miraculously, that money is pure and delightsome. Hmmm. No more temple garments for witnesses at a sealing ceremony. And thank goodness the endowment ceremony is not as long (tedious) as it used to be. People wanted a shorter service and lo and behold, it was shorter. So much for sacred and so much for an unchanging God.
