Although I understand why you feel that way, I respectfully disagree. She has not discussed anything that violates covenants or prophetic direction, and everything she has discussed is scriptural. Let's not confuse "sacred" and "secret". She's shared the thoughts, meanings, and parallels she's found, because it brings her closer to Christ, and wants to share that fruit. Precisely *because* it is sacred to her, taking great care to sight scriptures, refrain from sharing any specifics she ought not to, and even calling this out as a matter of her respect for the sacred nature of it. Personally, I think many people are antsy about anything temple-related when it's not something super obvious, out of fear, and I find *that* bothersome to good image of the temple & the church. I would suggest that if the temple is registering in your psyche as a fear tactic, you might address whatever unhealthy dynamic has caused that. I highly doubt the God of love wants you to operate and react out of fear, nor impose that on others. I say, props to her for sharing her testimony and insights, within clearly outlined respectful boundaries, about something so important to her, hoping to increase appreciation and meaning for God's sacred house for others. Even moreso because it would have been easier to just not, amidst the cultural milieu that we see here.

Even amongst faithful saints, like yourself…respectfully! Ceci
@ceci robe Your initial comment was respectfully stated, and positively directed, and the feelings valid. But, I do know that a nontrivial level of internalized fear and discomfort are alarmingly common (and somewhat taboo to admit or discuss). So I personally go out of my way to de-stigmatize and encourage people to be open and unafraid, so long as it's kosher (for lack of a better word). I personally feel that's how Jesus would want it, and has lived it. ... Though, I do admit that likely colors my interpretation and response at times (*sheepish grin*) But, that's why healthy communication is valuable, which you've exemplified in how respectful and bidirectionally accommodating you've been. This has been a refreshingly delightful exchange, and I'm waking away with context that I didn't have before. Thanks for taking the time!
I'm confused by you saying that he wasn't known or called himself the son of God until he died. Did he not proclaim to everybody that he was the son of God so those that would believe would believe? I'm so confused
@@jmalko9152 It's an organizational issue. The member believes he or she is getting an individual make by God. But in reality it's a rote process of handling the participants, and the people organizing the ceremony only need to remember one name (one male, one female) on a given shift.
@@charlesmendeley9823 Ah... that makes sense. The temple staffers only have to remember one name for the day. But a result of that, though, is that it's not really a secret name 🙂
I was deeply troubled when I found out that the new name given to me the day I went through for my own endowment was the same for every single male that went through that day. I thought that somehow it was unique to me. I'm still so confused by this.
Everything in the temple is symbolic, not literal. When you were baptized you were symbolically washed to be clean, not literally or they would have used soap. ☺️
@@gordianknot9595 Even John says we will be given a new name “and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” Ultimately there is only one name and that is given at the veil. I think you would have a hard time convincing anyone that the washings described in Exodus and used in the temple anciently are the same as full immersion baptism that represents death, burial and rebirth that John the Baptist performed on the Lord. Do you believe the gospel still needs to be restored through a Prophet other than Joseph Smith before Christ can return? “The keys of the kingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall the gospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth.” D&C 65:2
@@gordianknot9595 First off the Bible doesn’t specify how the washing is to be accomplished; there are specifics for oil and blood but not the washings. 4 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water. 5 And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod: 6 And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre. 7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him. 20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about. Because baptism is representative of being buried and then reborn there can be no question as to how it is accomplished. Regarding the office of high priest you need to read the Old and New Testament. Aaron was ordained a high priest as was Eleazar following the death of Aaron. Israel continued the practice even though they became corrupt. But the priesthood was still legitimate as evidenced by John the Baptists father who was a high priest officiating in the temple. That Zechariah was a High Priest is testified to not only by the early Protoevangelium of James, but also by many Church Fathers and writers, such as Origen, Chrysostom, Augustine, and Ambrose. “For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:” Hebrews 5:1 My guess is you belong to a church with a paid ministry which is anti-Christ as that was the type of “religion” that caused the Savior to be crucified. “When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:” Matt 27:1 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” Matt 10:8 A paid ministry will do anything to keep its congregation coming so as to get their money., they will tell you anything to keep your money coming.

It just seems you have a desire to complain. I answered your question and you chewed me out. How about you take your question and keep it in your mind. I don't try to be hostile. You don't have to worry about us being in the same place
6:46 this has always confused me. We are told to use the full name of the Church because “When we discard the Savior’s name, we are subtly disregarding all that Jesus Christ did for us-even His Atonement.” And “When we omit His name from His Church, we are inadvertently removing Him as the central focus of our lives.” And that if we allow people to use the nickname “Mormon” people “may think that we worship Mormon.” But then we name the two different priesthoods after men. Does that mean we worship Melchizedek and Aaron? People are more likely to think this because they know who Melchizedek and Aaron are and have no inclination on who Mormon is because they’ve never read the book. The constant use of the full name of the Church feels a lot more like vein repetition. And I get it, in scripture it tells us to give The Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God a nickname after a man and tells us to not use the name of a man but The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
For the first 8 years of the Mormon church's history, and while Joseph Smith was alive and obviously leading the church, it had two different names, neither had the name of Jesus Christ in it. Interesting.
@@geoffnoyes520 Check your history again. "The Church adopted a resolution in 1834 to change the name to the Church of the Latter Day Saints to distinguish it from other Christian denominations of the time. Then in 1838, the Lord Jesus Christ revealed to Joseph Smith that the name of the Church is to be the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints."
@@geoffnoyes520 We don't want details that shatter our belief! We want to feel good and believe we are the center of the universe and that Gods purpose is to serve US on our journey to exaltation! LOL... What's in a name anyway... Jesus was never called Jesus and Christ is a Greek word so... it's actually a title and not a name anyway.... But it makes us feel so special and blessed. And if we want to adorn our religion with long titles and insist that by so doing we deny victories to Satan... then what's wrong with that? I can go online and virtue signal to the whole world title after title as they change though time and get even more blessings.... I will be blessed... I will show all my worthiness... I can stand up among my Mormon peers and be showered with recognition and adoration!! It's all about ME!!!!!!! For any Mormons that read this... I know you see what I say as an attack.... and thats the point. You can't see or understand reality.
Jesus demonstrated that He was doing away with man made temples and places of worship that are supposed to house God's presence. He abolished such by His death as the curtain separating the holiest place where God's presence abides in the Temple at Jerusalem was rent in half from top to bottom. This signifies that God was finished with Temple worship and moving His Holy Spirit to be poured out on all flesh, especially those who believe in Christ's work of salvation. In another place in scripture, Jesus talking to the Samaritan woman, He tells her a time is coming and already is here that those who worship God will neither worship in temples or mountains, meaning, there will no longer be a need for a designated structure or place where His presence abides, but it will be inside the bodies of believers that God will live and move. The body is now the true Temple of God. God does not reside in LDS temples anymore than on any specific mountains. Those temples have no purpose, and the Christian church never built temples until around the later part of the 3rd century. The purpose for those structures was to have a meeting place for the church to gather, not a structure to house His presence. Jesus said, "Where two or three gather in my name, there I am" The temples of God are the believers themselves. The church is not a structure. The church is a living organism made up of all the believers, each uniquely indwelt by the Spirit of God, and corporately, in the presence of God wherever they meet.
I'm a Bible believing christian, have been for 50+years. It just grieves me to see such a lovely sincere and intelligent young lady spouting all this complete nonsense about the Mormon temples. This has nothing to do with biblical Christianity, it's got absolutely nothing to do with the teachings of Christ and his Apostles. There is so much obvious and also hidden paganism and masonic influences in what she is saying and showing, and she is not even remotely aware of it. This dear soul for whom Christ died is a perfect example of the Mormon church's 'finished product'. One day Joseph Smith and the Mormon church leaders will have to give an account to the Lord personally for what they did to people like this speaker. All the time she is being led further away from the teachings of Christ and his Apostles, further away from the Truth, and the true gospel, and ever deeper into the trap of having faith in Joseph Smith and unknowingly letting him and his church, not Christ, have final authority over her life.
Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Well part of the problem I have with you is that you're bible-based only so unless you understand the book of Mormon that doctor and covenants and pearl of great price I suggest we not talk about her being further away from Chist. I would recommend that you slew the scriptures to see why she says what she says and you don't have to read it to believe it just read it so that you're actually informed
I was a Mormon for 45 years and jumped through all the hoops the Church requires.... then I got a library card... did a lot of research and resigned from the Church. The Mormons like to say they are Christians... they give many reasons why they are Christians and in fact believe THEY are the only Christians. The remarkable thing is they haven't a clue what Christianity even is. Good luck getting through to a fully indoctrinated Mormon. These people are good people... but their belief is completely immersed in narcissism. This woman comes across as a kind, caring, and informed person but the truth is, she is under a spell. Mormons have no direct connection to deity... The first law of the Mormon gospel is obedience to church leaders. So, the blind look and the happy face should tell you all you need to know. Mormons are the least knowledgeable of their own religion on the earth.
This sounds very cultish. How confident are you that the things you are teaching is from God or Satan? Are you making signs, tokens and covenants to a different God. None of this is Christian and considered blasphemy. Sorry. Please find the true God and Jesus Christ as contained in His word, the bible.
First comment BOM says wine not water. Wine represents blood NOT water. Jesus drank wine at the last supper NOT water. Son of God does not mean he was created by God having sex with Mary. The veil being rent in twain symbolizes no need for the veil or the high priest. We now have direct access to God through our only High priest Jesus. The reason Jesus did not want the word spread that He was the Son of God too soon was because it was not His time to die. He needed to finish His short mission before He got the Pharisees so upset that they put Him on the cross. Joseph Smith made up the translation of the papyrus when he wrote the book of Abraham. It was not at all about Abraham but the church will still make up stuff to try to prove different even though the papyrus was found and proven Joseph's translation was wrong. The church today doesn't even follow or really believe in the Book of Mormon or they would not teach God is an exalted human because that is NOT taught in the BOM. Also Joseph Smith didn't even believe in the BOM that he wrote or he would not have started polygamy. Just read Jacob 2. He just followed his human desires.
I don't believe that you have actually looked into Joseph Smith. Prophets wrote the bible, men messed up parts of the bible. So until the bible has been completely perfected and all the books are back, I suggest we don't talk about Joseph Smith making any thing up
Somebody forgot about the sacredness of the temple... Hopefully you'll have the courage to take this video down and have greater respect and reverence for what goes on in the temple.
You are blatantly incorrect. Study what the Brethren and scriptures have said my friend. Hopefully you’ll have the courage to take your comments down when you realize you’re incorrect.
@@deanabraden9871 You do realize the scriptures talk about a new name, correct? Isaiah 62:2, Revelation 2:17, Revelation 3:12, D&C 130:11. It’s unfortunate that some people in these comments treat lightly those things they’ve received and break their covenants, but their choice to do so is not the responsibility of the author of this video. If they’re going to break their covenants, then they will do so at any opportunity that arises.
I've actually gone ahead and reported your channel to my bishop. Seems you've got a lot of.. Fairly inappropriate videos out there. He was just as surprised as I was that someone was posting this stuff despite Latter-Day Saints being explicitly told not to in the temple...
Everything in her videos is already posted online by the church for the general public with words from general authorities explaining how much we are able to discuss outside the temple. Not only that but most of the language of the temple ordinances are found in scripture as well. No offense but you seem to be operating under the assumption that you can't talk about anything related to the temple ordinances-which is demonstrably false. The only things we can't talk about are those things that we've specifically covenanted not to disclose.
😂 There is nothing inappropriate in her videos. You and your bishop were surprised because you are obviously both unfamiliar with what can be appropriately discussed outside of temple. Because you’ve both not done the necessary research to discover for yourselves what can be discussed outside the temple, your amazement is your responsibility, not the author of this video. Newsflash: Bishops don’t know everything about the temple and many of them need to study the ordinances and covenants more deeply, and what can and can’t be said.
The new name I received the day I went through for my own endowment was Benjamin. Along with every other male in the world that day who went through for their own endowment. They were all Benjamin on that day worldwide.

@@dan9948 thank you Dan… I agree. She has not and I stated that very clearly in my comment…. She has done a very great job addressing such sacred part of our doctrine. I respect your feelings and opinions on this matter, as I hope you respect mine… there is no fear or psych issues as far as I am concerned as you suggested and also assumed… just a personal feeling on this matter, that is all… You know, it is a lesson learned for me, one that follows scripture central, and enjoy very much Taylor and Tyler Podcast, it is really not safe to share on such platforms for this very reason… and I should have known better not to! Even amongst faithful saints, like yourself…respectfully! Ceci
@ceci robe Your initial comment was respectfully stated, and positively directed, and the feelings valid.
But, I do know that a nontrivial level of internalized fear and discomfort are alarmingly common (and somewhat taboo to admit or discuss).
So I personally go out of my way to de-stigmatize and encourage people to be open and unafraid, so long as it's kosher (for lack of a better word). I personally feel that's how Jesus would want it, and has lived it. ... Though, I do admit that likely colors my interpretation and response at times (*sheepish grin*)
But, that's why healthy communication is valuable, which you've exemplified in how respectful and bidirectionally accommodating you've been. This has been a refreshingly delightful exchange, and I'm waking away with context that I didn't have before.
Thanks for taking the time!
I'm confused by you saying that he wasn't known or called himself the son of God until he died. Did he not proclaim to everybody that he was the son of God so those that would believe would believe? I'm so confused
💡
Fun fact: everyone gets the same name on a given date, and you can look up your secret name on the internet, given you remember your endowment date.
That's the internet for you 😄 knowledge is power.
I wonder what the thinking is behind giving the same names on the same day?
@@jmalko9152 It's an organizational issue. The member believes he or she is getting an individual make by God. But in reality it's a rote process of handling the participants, and the people organizing the ceremony only need to remember one name (one male, one female) on a given shift.
@@charlesmendeley9823 Ah... that makes sense. The temple staffers only have to remember one name for the day. But a result of that, though, is that it's not really a secret name 🙂
I was deeply troubled when I found out that the new name given to me the day I went through for my own endowment was the same for every single male that went through that day. I thought that somehow it was unique to me. I'm still so confused by this.
lol I had the same experience it made me leave the church
Everything in the temple is symbolic, not literal. When you were baptized you were symbolically washed to be clean, not literally or they would have used soap. ☺️
@@gordianknot9595 Even John says we will be given a new name “and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” Ultimately there is only one name and that is given at the veil.
I think you would have a hard time convincing anyone that the washings described in Exodus and used in the temple anciently are the same as full immersion baptism that represents death, burial and rebirth that John the Baptist performed on the Lord. Do you believe the gospel still needs to be restored through a Prophet other than Joseph Smith before Christ can return? “The keys of the kingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall the gospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth.” D&C 65:2
@@gordianknot9595 First off the Bible doesn’t specify how the washing is to be accomplished; there are specifics for oil and blood but not the washings.
4 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water.
5 And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod:
6 And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.
7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.
20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
Because baptism is representative of being buried and then reborn there can be no question as to how it is accomplished.
Regarding the office of high priest you need to read the Old and New Testament. Aaron was ordained a high priest as was Eleazar following the death of Aaron. Israel continued the practice even though they became corrupt. But the priesthood was still legitimate as evidenced by John the Baptists father who was a high priest officiating in the temple. That Zechariah was a High Priest is testified to not only by the early Protoevangelium of James, but also by many Church Fathers and writers, such as Origen, Chrysostom, Augustine, and Ambrose.
“For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:” Hebrews 5:1
My guess is you belong to a church with a paid ministry which is anti-Christ as that was the type of “religion” that caused the Savior to be crucified. “When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:” Matt 27:1
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” Matt 10:8
A paid ministry will do anything to keep its congregation coming so as to get their money., they will tell you anything to keep your money coming.
Thank you . That is so true .
The bible quotes are the NRSV,not KJV.Just an observation
👌👌🤓🤓
keywords are found in the Israelite temple. One of them is the secret name of God.
If we need signs,etc to get into heaven Do LDS believe in the judgement at the end of time? Non LDS believe this is what allows,if you will, people to enter heaven or hell
Luckily, you will be with people like you. We don't believe that a person who lies is going to be with a person who has done their best to be truthful.
There is a reason there are 3 degrees of glory.
Does this help!
@@trishachristensen7667 Wow,are you always such an ass!? It was just a question Life with you in it,now or later,would be unbearable I hope to end up in outer darkness to avoid people like you
I actually thought you were being sincere. You don't need to be vulgar either. I don't know what your problem is, but I don't think you really wanted an answer. It just seems you have a desire to complain. I answered your question and you chewed me out. How about you take your question and keep it in your mind. I don't try to be hostile. You don't have to worry about us being in the same place
6:46 this has always confused me. We are told to use the full name of the Church because “When we discard the Savior’s name, we are subtly disregarding all that Jesus Christ did for us-even His Atonement.” And “When we omit His name from His Church, we are inadvertently removing Him as the central focus of our lives.” And that if we allow people to use the nickname “Mormon” people “may think that we worship Mormon.” But then we name the two different priesthoods after men. Does that mean we worship Melchizedek and Aaron? People are more likely to think this because they know who Melchizedek and Aaron are and have no inclination on who Mormon is because they’ve never read the book. The constant use of the full name of the Church feels a lot more like vein repetition.
And I get it, in scripture it tells us to give The Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God a nickname after a man and tells us to not use the name of a man but The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
For the first 8 years of the Mormon church's history, and while Joseph Smith was alive and obviously leading the church, it had two different names, neither had the name of Jesus Christ in it.
Interesting.
@@geoffnoyes520 Check your history again. "The Church adopted a resolution in 1834 to change the name to the Church of the Latter Day Saints to distinguish it from other Christian denominations of the time. Then in 1838, the Lord Jesus Christ revealed to Joseph Smith that the name of the Church is to be the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints."
@@geoffnoyes520 We don't want details that shatter our belief! We want to feel good and believe we are the center of the universe and that Gods purpose is to serve US on our journey to exaltation! LOL... What's in a name anyway... Jesus was never called Jesus and Christ is a Greek word so... it's actually a title and not a name anyway.... But it makes us feel so special and blessed. And if we want to adorn our religion with long titles and insist that by so doing we deny victories to Satan... then what's wrong with that? I can go online and virtue signal to the whole world title after title as they change though time and get even more blessings.... I will be blessed... I will show all my worthiness... I can stand up among my Mormon peers and be showered with recognition and adoration!! It's all about ME!!!!!!! For any Mormons that read this... I know you see what I say as an attack.... and thats the point. You can't see or understand reality.
Jesus demonstrated that He was doing away with man made temples and places of worship that are supposed to house God's presence. He abolished such by His death as the curtain separating the holiest place where God's presence abides in the Temple at Jerusalem was rent in half from top to bottom. This signifies that God was finished with Temple worship and moving His Holy Spirit to be poured out on all flesh, especially those who believe in Christ's work of salvation. In another place in scripture, Jesus talking to the Samaritan woman, He tells her a time is coming and already is here that those who worship God will neither worship in temples or mountains, meaning, there will no longer be a need for a designated structure or place where His presence abides, but it will be inside the bodies of believers that God will live and move. The body is now the true Temple of God. God does not reside in LDS temples anymore than on any specific mountains. Those temples have no purpose, and the Christian church never built temples until around the later part of the 3rd century. The purpose for those structures was to have a meeting place for the church to gather, not a structure to house His presence. Jesus said, "Where two or three gather in my name, there I am" The temples of God are the believers themselves. The church is not a structure. The church is a living organism made up of all the believers, each uniquely indwelt by the Spirit of God, and corporately, in the presence of God wherever they meet.
Only the levi preist entered the veil of temple had he sacrificed the animal, no secret handshakes, mormons have the wrong Jesus
I'm a Bible believing christian, have been for 50+years.
It just grieves me to see such a lovely sincere and intelligent young lady spouting all this complete nonsense about the Mormon temples.
This has nothing to do with biblical Christianity, it's got absolutely nothing to do with the teachings of Christ and his Apostles.
There is so much obvious and also hidden paganism and masonic influences in what she is saying and showing, and she is not even remotely aware of it.
This dear soul for whom Christ died is a perfect example of the Mormon church's 'finished product'.
One day Joseph Smith and the Mormon church leaders will have to give an account to the Lord personally for what they did to people like this speaker.
All the time she is being led further away from the teachings of Christ and his Apostles, further away from the Truth, and the true gospel, and ever deeper into the trap of having faith in Joseph Smith and unknowingly letting him and his church, not Christ, have final authority over her life.
You seem so sure....but you dont understand that's why
Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Well part of the problem I have with you is that you're bible-based only so unless you understand the book of Mormon that doctor and covenants and pearl of great price I suggest we not talk about her being further away from Chist.
I would recommend that you slew the scriptures to see why she says what she says and you don't have to read it to believe it just read it so that you're actually informed
This entire video was referencing the Bible... and how to come closer to God.
I was a Mormon for 45 years and jumped through all the hoops the Church requires.... then I got a library card... did a lot of research and resigned from the Church. The Mormons like to say they are Christians... they give many reasons why they are Christians and in fact believe THEY are the only Christians. The remarkable thing is they haven't a clue what Christianity even is. Good luck getting through to a fully indoctrinated Mormon. These people are good people... but their belief is completely immersed in narcissism. This woman comes across as a kind, caring, and informed person but the truth is, she is under a spell. Mormons have no direct connection to deity... The first law of the Mormon gospel is obedience to church leaders. So, the blind look and the happy face should tell you all you need to know. Mormons are the least knowledgeable of their own religion on the earth.
This poor girl
My temple name is Japheth.
People do yourselves a favor and go watch mormon stories and you will see that this is all a waste of your time to listen to her
This sounds very cultish. How confident are you that the things you are teaching is from God or Satan? Are you making signs, tokens and covenants to a different God. None of this is Christian and considered blasphemy. Sorry. Please find the true God and Jesus Christ as contained in His word, the bible.
First comment BOM says wine not water. Wine represents blood NOT water. Jesus drank wine at the last supper NOT water.
Son of God does not mean he was created by God having sex with Mary. The veil being rent in twain symbolizes no need for the veil or the high priest. We now have direct access to God through our only High priest Jesus. The reason Jesus did not want the word spread that He was the Son of God too soon was because it was not His time to die. He needed to finish His short mission before He got the Pharisees so upset that they put Him on the cross. Joseph Smith made up the translation of the papyrus when he wrote the book of Abraham. It was not at all about Abraham but the church will still make up stuff to try to prove different even though the papyrus was found and proven Joseph's translation was wrong. The church today doesn't even follow or really believe in the Book of Mormon or they would not teach God is an exalted human because that is NOT taught in the BOM. Also Joseph Smith didn't even believe in the BOM that he wrote or he would not have started polygamy. Just read Jacob 2. He just followed his human desires.
I don't believe that you have actually looked into Joseph Smith.
Prophets wrote the bible, men messed up parts of the bible.
So until the bible has been completely perfected and all the books are back, I suggest we don't talk about Joseph Smith making any thing up
Somebody forgot about the sacredness of the temple... Hopefully you'll have the courage to take this video down and have greater respect and reverence for what goes on in the temple.
You are blatantly incorrect. Study what the Brethren and scriptures have said my friend. Hopefully you’ll have the courage to take your comments down when you realize you’re incorrect.
Who cares the church isnt true man its 2023 wake up
We can talk about general things in the Temple, but the new name? Crossed the line. Plus, look at these comments. Please consider taking this down.
@@deanabraden9871 You do realize the scriptures talk about a new name, correct? Isaiah 62:2, Revelation 2:17, Revelation 3:12, D&C 130:11.
It’s unfortunate that some people in these comments treat lightly those things they’ve received and break their covenants, but their choice to do so is not the responsibility of the author of this video. If they’re going to break their covenants, then they will do so at any opportunity that arises.
I've actually gone ahead and reported your channel to my bishop. Seems you've got a lot of.. Fairly inappropriate videos out there. He was just as surprised as I was that someone was posting this stuff despite Latter-Day Saints being explicitly told not to in the temple...
Everything in her videos is already posted online by the church for the general public with words from general authorities explaining how much we are able to discuss outside the temple. Not only that but most of the language of the temple ordinances are found in scripture as well. No offense but you seem to be operating under the assumption that you can't talk about anything related to the temple ordinances-which is demonstrably false. The only things we can't talk about are those things that we've specifically covenanted not to disclose.
@@jacobryder6060 true, even in the handbook there are so many many things pertaining to the temple,
Well let’s see what your report brings . She doesn’t say anything she should not .
😂 There is nothing inappropriate in her videos. You and your bishop were surprised because you are obviously both unfamiliar with what can be appropriately discussed outside of temple. Because you’ve both not done the necessary research to discover for yourselves what can be discussed outside the temple, your amazement is your responsibility, not the author of this video. Newsflash: Bishops don’t know everything about the temple and many of them need to study the ordinances and covenants more deeply, and what can and can’t be said.
The new name I received the day I went through for my own endowment was Benjamin. Along with every other male in the world that day who went through for their own endowment. They were all Benjamin on that day worldwide.
