Temple Marriages Now have No Wait Time

‘Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers…’ 2 Corinthians 6:14

TEMPLE MARRIAGES NOW HAVE NO WAIT TIME

TEMPLE MARRIAGES NOW HAVE NO WAIT TIME

Earlier this week the Church announced a major change to temple marriage policies. On May 6, 2019 their newsroom declared the elimination of a one year waiting period to be sealed eternally in a temple ceremony. See Couples Married Civilly Now Authorized for Immediate Temple Marriage for more info.

Today we’re looking at what they said, and comparing it with the Bible.

In part, the announcement started off by stating —

‘The new policy sets a single global standard for Latter-day Saints around the world. The Church has observed this practice for many years in more than half of the countries where the worldwide faith resides. In those countries, couples are required by law to marry civilly first.’

No Temple Means No Salvation

Joshua 24:15 “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve…”

Journal of Discourses 12:162; “We cannot now administer the further ordinances of God in the fullest sense of the word legally unto the people, neither shall we be able to do so until we have a temple built for that purpose. … We must be situated in local circumstances wherein we can efficiently administer in those ordinances of the house of God that cannot be administered to a people while they are scattered abroad among the nations of the wicked.” – Brigham Young, Salt Lake City, February 16, 1868

Man’s Glorification in LDS Marriage Covenant

Posted in Mormon Temples, tagged , , , on 06/24/2017| 2 Comments »

Colossians 3:23; “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men”.

 Doctrine and Covenants 132:4-6; “For behold, I reveal unto you a new and an everlasting covenant; and if ye abide not that covenant, then are ye damned; for no one can reject this covenant and be permitted to enter into my glory. 5 For all who will have a blessing at my hands shall abide the law which was appointed for that blessing, and the conditions thereof, as were instituted from before the foundation of the world. 6 And as pertaining to the new and everlasting covenant, it was instituted for the fulness of my glory; and he that receiveth a fulness thereof must and shall abide the law, or he shall be damned, saith the Lord God.”

Mormon Kids Worshipped and Danced for a Fertility God

Leviticus 22:32-33; “…I am the Lord which hallow you, 33 That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord.”

Osiris – ‘a principle god of ancient Egypt, god of vegetation and water, king of the dead’.

may-pole-dancing-at-payson-temple-celebration Thousands of Youth Sing, Dance at Payson Temple Cultural Celebration

Throwing caution to the wind in June 2015, the Mormon Church celebrated the grand opening of another temple in Utah; Payson, Utah to be exact.

It reminded us of the ceremonies they held for the Philadelphia Temple opening. Oh, be still my heart…

As part of this over-the-top, all out party for their god, the Church used their kids to put on one of the grandest road shows we’ve seen in quite some time. It’s highly doubtful the majority realized what they were doing, but make no mistake beloved, it was a blatant display of paganism at its finest.

Mormons Defy God’s Temple Mandates

Posted in Mormon Temples, tagged , , , on 02/07/2017| 2 Comments »

templeAs of late, the LDS Church is building temples at a record pace. According to their site they now have 155 operating temples, and 25 others in various stages of construction. Another page gives the reason why they build so many temples. Here in part, is what they said –

‘From the days of the Old Testament, the Lord has commanded His people to build temples-sacred structures where He could teach, guide, and bless them.’ See ‘Why We Build Temples’.

Lies of Wilford Woodruff in the St. George Temple

Posted in Mormon Temples, tagged , , , on 09/08/2015| Leave a Comment »

saint-george-mormon-templeNothing in Mormonism is simple. Every subject matter is invariably linked to something else of major import, and thus it is with my discovery today.

While retrieving info for a future article on Wilford Woodruff, Wilford Woodruff 2Mormonism’s 4th president/prophet, I came across the quote I was looking for in a speech Mr. Woodruff made on posthumous baptisms for deceased US Presidents. I found his teachings so blasphemous I couldn’t let them slide on by as I’ve had to do in the past with many of the other things Mormon leaders have said.

San Diego LDS Temple Symbols

Posted in Mormon Temples, tagged , , , on 09/02/2014| 2 Comments »

San Diego TempleOn Sunday morning (8/31/2014) Melissa sent me an e-mail with some pictures she found online of the San Diego Temple. Initially I was going to use the photos as a quick FYI type of post…

While the photos made us wonder why anyone would believe this was of God, aSan Diego Temple 2 bigger picture began to emerge when I read the history of this place. There was no set plan, no modeling the temple upon any of the things you’d find in temples from the OT times.  It’s just filled with random stuff.

Astrology

Astrology

While doing some research for an article we’re working on I came across an interesting piece of information in Mormon Doctrine written by Bruce McConkie who was a Mormon apostle. Now while many Mormons discount his encyclopedic work, the Church continues to sell his book and actually quote from it in articles and speeches.

The entry in Mormon Doctrine that caught my attention was on the subject of astrology. Interestingly enough the Church denounces the practice of astrology yet has many carvings on the outside of the Nauvoo and Salt Lake Temple of that very thing.

Video of the “Handshakes” Mormons learn in the temple

Secret HandshakesVideo of Secret Handshakes in the Mormon Temples

In this next video we see the handshakes or “tokens” Mormons learn in the temple during the endowment ceremony. Mormons believe God requires them to know these things before He can permit them to come into His presence. I’ve watched these videos probably a half dozen times, and can’t believe I used to participate in these pagan rituals. It reminds me of how far God has brought me and  I’m so thankful I was pulled out of this religion by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Mormon Temple Veil Instructions

Video of Mormon Temple Veil Ceremony

Below is a video taken in the Mormon Temple of closing instructions given at the end of the Endowment ceremony. You’ll notice the veil has many “panels”, this is so more than one person can come up to the veil at at the same time.

At the veil the man standing behind it (who represents God) puts his arms and hands through the holes so the person performing the endowment for themselves or the dead can show him they know the signs and tokens (or handshakes and phrases attached to them).

LDS Temples

The number of LDS temples is extensive and should be taken seriously when we’re praying for those who are lost in the web of Mormonism.  The talk of temples was part of the focus at the last General Conference in October 2011 so we thought it’d be a good idea to list those here and share with you what a couple of the Mormon leaders had to say about their temples.

Temple Ceremonies and the Clothing

By Melissa Grimes

My journey out of Mormonism began with the Mormon Temple. One night my husband was watching a documentary on Freemasonry and noticed how similar their temple rites were to those we participated in at the Mormon Temple.  At this point of my Mormon experience I had doubts off and on about the validity of Joseph Smith’s claims yet never delved into any serious research. I was simply content in my ignorance, as I trusted in the words of the church leaders to quiet my concerns.

A Cross on a Mormon Temple

By Melissa Grimes

While visiting my usual sites and message boards last night I came upon the link below, it leads you to a Mormon web site with a video presentation about their new temple in Rome Italy. When you get to around 1:58 you’ll see something astonishing, at least it’s astonishing to me as a former member of the Mormon Church.

I have to say it’s always an interesting day when the LDS Church builds a new temple.  The link below will take you to a quick little video of how the new temple will look.  One of our volunteers alerted me to look closely at the graphic when the video gets to 1:58.  Take a close look at the front door my friends!  Is that a cross???
