I sincerely enjoy and appreciate "mormons" making an appeal so symbolism and the scriptures and spirituality above literalism. I h"ad a dream last night what some call a "lucid" dream and one of the lessons I learned was the power of symbolism. Indeed my dream environment responded heavily to my thoughts being focused on righteous symbolism. The environment responded readily and easily to thoughts of "white" "garb" or "spiritual appearing dress" and coupled with uplifting feelings. It also responded well to temple symbolism and action. Coupling symbolism with thoughts and feelings of righteousness appears to be a powerful influence over our dream minds and perhaps our spirit. Now, I do not know or judge the type of symbolism utilized as indeed some symbols of one group may offend those of another group or being mutually supportive, however to that group and to that mind and to that heart , the designated symbol responds accordingly, is what Im thinking. Good video.
Your prospectives are interesting and maybe something to ponder…but my question is “Why isn’t wearing our garments enough”? If you/I have made additional covenants with Father, then showing the world that we’re Christian’s is in our actions of compassion🤷🏾♀️…not necessarily showing outer pieces. I believe that’s what makes us a little different than other Christians. I see the brothers and sisters of other church communities, wearing their outer garments and/or tassels and I appreciate them showing whom they represent. Thank you for sharing🙏🏽
I’m going to answer your question based on my own opinions, I am not speaking on behalf of the Fellowship of Christ. There is nothing in the scriptures asking us to wear Latter-day Saint temple garments or to make any covenant to wear them. This idea is unique to their branch of our shared faith. There is an ask from the Lord in the scriptures for us to wear the tzitzits. The question we should be asking based on this would be, why are the tzitzits not enough? But rather than ask this, I will ask, why not both? I have not made a covenant to wear underwear with markings on them day and night, I have made a covenant to wear garments with markings on them throughout my life. My temple garments are a sleeveless robe, not underwear. I do not wear them 24/7 but rather I wear them when acting as a representative of Jesus Christ, as this is my understanding of the temple covenant. I wear the tzitzits because I have covenanted to do anything the Lord has asked me to do, and He has asked me to do this. That said, I fully agree that what the world should see to know that we belong to Jesus is our hearts, our actions. We can wear underwear with symbols, robes with symbols, tzitzits, the cross, WWJD bracelets, etc. but if we do not wear our faith in our hearts it is all moot. Let our action speak for us and our commitment to our God.

@ Thank you for responding…even though we have different views and/or understanding of the scriptures, we are still brother and sister in Christ👍🏽.
