Those are cameras we have one two cameras. All right, they're doing a check. I can talk. Yeah, so about those alien abductions that keep happening, you know. Those things are both. Yeah, those are rough because they've happened to you a lot.
Yeah, you can tell the mental issues I Still have the probes in there at least mine are working. Yeah, you shorted out. Days walk. Walk out of a dark field one day and he comes out he goes. Hey, you know, he's really talking about all of a sudden.
He's back to normal. So I don't know something shorted. Yeah, I got it going on. Oh. This is kind of juvenile. The cameras working. Yes. Okay, we're on. Yeah, this is a this is how we get warmed up. All right so we're gonna do now if we're gonna talk about Mormonism and I'm gonna focus on the Temple of Jerusalem.
But I have to let you know that I haven't had a whole bunch of time to put this together as a matter of fact it was basically today and. The reason is because I got 800 things to do. I've got to write three lessons to speak on Saturday and Sunday morning and then I can write a sermon for Sunday and today's Wednesday and we've had a bunch of people over at the house and.
Because the temple opening and some other stuff car meeting and incidentally carms 22 years old. Today 20 years old. I started it 22 years ago today and. Hey. All right. So what what's going on here? We're in Boise right now and so as far as Boise goes, here's Boise meridians right here and there's a temple opening and.
Well, you couldn't heard that because couldn't see that because I was on the side. Anyway, I was right. Okay. But they're here how about over here. Okay. Which edge there's two edges. It's right the edge.
Yeah, so moving along. So they just have it there's a temple opening yeah the Mormon temples and so you haven't been in yet. I went in last night. Oh, you've been in but in you don't have you been in?
Okay, you guys been in? You're gonna go. It's kind of boring. You just walk around and and then you know, they're nice. In fact, I was standing out on the street with some of the guys holding protest signs up.
So I sit out there over there for 15 minutes and I went into the temple. I was going to the tour about halfway well at the beginning of the tour two guys with suits and a little squiggly little things going back into their shirts are like.
So two guys are watching me as I go to different places. I went like that and and Smile, they're nice and then halfway through the tour when they realize I'm not gonna be an obstreperous wacko. You know, then they just go to something else, but I didn't make the guide the tour guide.
With us made him laugh because coincidentally the way I was in the group. We got split off and then I was in the lead I didn't want to be in the lead people behind me and by myself this guy goes I just say with me.
He's a leader, you know the Mormon dude leader things. Okay, so we're going through we just having conversation the whole time and You know, I'm making him laugh a couple times. And so we came up these these stairs and we came up in this one room Instruction room and we're in there and this one couple hadn't kind of showed up and so he kind of looked at me and go because I was over by that area and he put the door he goes like that and I went.
And he starts cracking up, you know. And so then they came walking in so, you know just it was good and then I get to witness to him afterwards alright, and they were nice enough, you know, the Mormons are nice, but their theology is from the pit of hell and Mormonism teaches this this is no joke.
It teaches that God is an exalted man from another planet and he has a goddess wife. So Basically, what do you call a life-form from another planet? You call him an alien. So what Mormons are doing is worshiping a man from another planet who followed the laws and ordinances of that God on that planet and became a god and Exalted one of his wives called forth one of his wives.
Maybe only had one who knows and she became a goddess and they came to this world basically and They produce this world and they he has a body of flesh and bones. He supposed to be six feet tall. I'm six feet tall.
So that's how God how tall God is and He and his goddess wife they have bodies of flesh and bones and they go and have it and make spirit babies and so. The the spirit babies this the offspring the spirit children in the pre-existence the first one born was Jesus and then we were all born brothers and sisters in the pre-existence and Satan had a plan for salvation of mankind and Jesus had a plan for salvation, but he wanted to go with what the father's.
There's variations of what Mormons say about this, but nevertheless. So the spirits who sided with the plan where Jesus, you know God the father we get the glory and Jesus would be the Savior and stuff like that.
The spirits who went with in the pre-existence who went with the plan of Christ they are born in human bodies in white skinned bodies and then. The the spirits who didn't decide. No, the spirits who went with Satan's plan.
They're the ones who can never be born in human bodies their demonic Horde and in the third, it didn't go either way didn't decide which plan to go with kind of ambivalent the official not the official I can't say that but a lot of what the Mormon prophets taught early on was those people are born in black skinned bodies and.
So they couldn't hold the priesthood and some other stuff, but now they've changed that 1978 they changed that nevertheless so after you become a good Mormon, you pay a full 10 tithe of your income to the church and By following the laws and the ordinances hopefully of the God of this world.
But they call the goddess world that this realm. Then you have the potential of becoming a god of your own planet starting the whole thing over again. That's what Mormonism teaches and It's ridiculous.
It's not biblical. It does this is not true now. The temples why the temples the temples are for the purpose of getting closer to God and as you saw that film. The one lady and I swear I when I was watching the film the intro film this lady's coming up and she's talking.
Now this is completely subjective, but I had no reason to think it or anything. I remember looking at her going she's possessed I just there's something wrong in the way. She was delivering stuff. I don't know.
Did you get that impression you did too? And you did too. It was just weird. It was like something speaking through her and. But that was just me I didn't say that I don't have I've ever mentioned it is basically right now and.
But it's just the impression I got but I got the willies from her. Something's not right. So you say that you say that you see that? Okay, and so at any rate it's on this film and It was just so bad anyway, so we had this film in the temple or not in the temple but in the ward the church and These two girls night, they're nice everybody's nice.
Said how do you feel about what was said? It's always about feelings. It's not about truth. It's about what you feel and as soon as truth is under the heel of Feelings truth is whatever you want it to be wherever you feel it to be.
That's a problem so from there we went over to the temple and I was very respectful and not gonna cause any problems at all and so Went in and then when we got out, you know I the guys asked me questions the guy was with actually and Another guy came up and I witnessed to him for about five minutes and it was cordial and I said, okay Thanks and took off and I quoted him where Joseph Smith did more than even Jesus to keep a church together.
He said no, that's not what the quote says. He says everybody save Jesus. I said, that's nope. He's from the church volume 4 page 461. That's what it says. I quoted about a thousand times and I quoted it to him and I said this is.
So anyway, we can get into Mormon doctrine secret handshakes in the temples and things like that so I Thought what I'd do is read up a little bit about About the Mormon temple talk about it a little bit read some of the stuff from the Mormons and then I'm gonna go through what the Bible says about it compare it a little bit.
I got some pictures and again because I'm so rushed I had to throw this together today. So I just hope you'll bear with me. So check this out. So this is from the first presidency. All right, and it's right there.
George D Buchanan December 3rd, 1871 journal discourses volume 14 page 320. No, I have the journal discourses at home, but you can get them online. But anyway, why is it that we are so anxious to build temples?
It is that we may attend to ordinances necessary for the salvation of the living and the dead that we may be baptized for our ancestors who died without having the privilege of hearing and obeying the gospel and.
Also Apostle Mark E. Peterson said in biblical times sacred ordinances were administered in holy edifices. For the spiritual salvation of ancient Israel the buildings thus used were not synagogues nor any other ordinary places of worship.
There were specifically constructed for this particular purpose following the pattern of biblical days. The Lord again in our day has provided these ordinances for all who will believe and Directs that temples be built in which to perform these those sacred rites.
Now notice what he says here. Following the pattern of biblical days. So what he's saying is this is what happened in the original temples and it's not the case. They're making this up. They don't know they're talking about but we'll get into some more stuff here.
Um, this is Bruce R. McConkie Mormon doctrine now some Mormons don't really like McConkie very much. But I'm just including him in he was an apostle. All of these ordinances of exaltation are performed in the temples for both the living and the dead.
Their essential portions have been the same in all Dispensations when the fullness of the sealing power has been exercised by the Lord's prophets for DNC 124 28 to 41. They were given in modern time to the Prophet Joseph Smith.
By revelation many things connected with them being translated by the Prophet from the papyrus in which the book of Abraham was recorded. Now that right there I Can go on for an hour. First of all, if you're interested in the book of Abraham papyri get the book by their own hand upon papyrus by his own hand upon papyrus and What it does is it absolutely proves that Joseph Smith lied About the book of Abraham and the book of Mormon.
How do I know that because what happened was he had the book of Mormon? He had what he called a cedar stone supposedly from the breastplate. But there's different opinions on that within Mormonism and he put this stone into a hat.
But the hat over his face all of her counter. He would be on the outside. Oh, you know behind the curtain sometimes on the table over there and Then Joseph Smith would give one letter at a time and this is how they translated the book of Mormon supposedly and so This procedure was supposedly used with the book of Abraham because a salesman a salesman but a Traveling.
I don't know. I forgot his name but he's a guy who had museum artifacts and he would travel around the West and the East of the United States and Charge people in nickel or whatever it was to come in and see the artifacts.
They made his living that way. That's fair enough. Well Joseph Smith went in and saw the book of Abraham papyri, but they weren't book of Abraham papyri. They're Cyrus book of the dead and he said they're written in hieroglyphics.
Well, no one knew how to break or interpret or read hieroglyphics at the time. But nevertheless, he said this is the book of Abraham. So the Mormon Church bought these papyri I think for around two grand now.
He then translated the book of Abraham the same way. He did the book of Mormon the same way with the same power the same ability. Well the papyri got lost. And they were they were rediscovered in the 1960s in a library basement and in 1880 ish in the 80s the Rosetta Stone was discovered and it had Hieroglyphics, I think Greek is something else and they were able to break.
Hieroglyphics are able to figure out what hieroglyphics really really was saying at that point. And so when the Papyri were rediscovered the exact same papyri. And there's the book explains it's the same and the Mormon Church admits.
It's the same even has Joseph Smith's handwriting on the back of it it's the same one and when the Egyptologists who understand hieroglyphics read the document it had Absolutely nothing to do with what Joseph Smith said it had to do in the book of Abraham.
Nothing he I think one reviewer said he didn't even come close by guessing usually in guessing. You can kind of come close to some stuff. He wasn't even that lucky. That's how bad he was. So what's the Mormon Church's response?
Well, it's reformed hieroglyphics. You know, that's like, you know see this right here. This is the ordinances and covenants become our credentials for admission. What if we take those exact words put them on a piece of paper?
We bury them a thousand years later someone reads it and he knows ancient English and he says oh he translates it into their language ordinances and covenants become our credentials for admission and.
Something else says no, that's not English. That's reformed English. And what it really means is and get something else that's what they're doing with the book of Abraham trying to defend the horrible facts that contradict Joseph Smith's translation profitability.
This proves Joseph Smith lied. It proves Mormonism is false, but do Mormons care? No, because it's about their feelings. Nevertheless, let's go on ordinances and covenants become our credentials for admission into his presence to worthily receive them is the quest of a lifetime to keep them to thereafter is a challenge of mortality and.
And 70s is a quote out one of the guys from their temple ordinances instituted in the heavens and this can be in the heavens before the foundation of the world are for the salvation and exaltation of God's children.
It is important that the saving ordinances not be altered or changed and yet they were. Because all of those who will be exalted from the first man Adam to the last must be saved on the same principles.
Now a lot of people don't know but the Mormon Temple ceremony was changed and death Oaths were taken out of the Mormon Temple and other stuff. I'll leave it to you to do your research on that now. So, you know, I should have got a picture.
I had a picture of I took a picture should Imported one here so you could just see what the Mormon Temple looks like. But nevertheless this is what I'm gonna do now is go through a lot of the verses out of 2nd Chronicles verses chapter 3 and 4 and We'll go through some of the stuff what it says about the temple.
Now, these are the foundations which Solomon laid for building the house of God. The length in cubits According to the old standard was 60 cubits and then with 20 cubits now what Mormons say is that The temple that they have today is supposed to be an accurate representation of what goes on in the temple of Solomon.
They're supposed to represent that temple properly now. There are writings within Mormonism that say that the temples are exact representation. Obviously, they're not since the temples themselves are in many different forms.
What they try and say is that what goes on inside of them is really what's important and I can tell you What went on inside the temple? But nevertheless, we'll get to that later. So a Cubit is roughly 18 inches.
Just so you know, so the porch was 120 cubits high. See that's what it says right there in 2nd Chronicles 3 4 and In verse 5 he overlaid the main room with cypress wood and overlaid it with fine gold and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.
Now I went to the temple. I didn't see any gold. I saw gold color. I don't really gold. I didn't see any palm trees. I didn't see any chains. Further he adorned the house with precious stones. I didn't see any precious stones and the gold was a gold from parvain.
He also overlaid the house with gold the beams the thresholds as walls doors now. Maybe there are some gold elements within some of this stuff. I don't know but there's so much that they say the temples are actually represented by the more.
That's me. The Mormon temples are represented properly. Representing a Solomon's temple, but it's not obviously Cherubim in the Holy of Holies in 2nd Chronicles 3 10. Then he made two sculptured cherubim in the room of the Holy of Holies and overlaid them with gold.
In a little bit here. We're gonna get to a graphic. I'm gonna start explaining what the real temple was like and What's going on in there and you'll see that it does not happen at all in the the temples today in Mormonism Verse 11 the wingspan of the cherubim was 20 cubits.
20 cubits, that's roughly 30 feet. The wing of one of five cubits touched the wall of the house and its other wing of five cubits touched the wing of the Other cherub the wing of the other cherub five cubits touch.
So these these cherubs other words touch the outer wall and each other so they were huge angels wings, okay. All right. The veil was purple with cherubim engraved on it or woven into the fabric. He made a veil of violet purple crimson and fine linen and he worked cherubim on it.
Did you go to the temple? Was it violet the veil? No, it was white. And it's little slits in it. Yeah, and it was very thin. And the temple veil is supposed to be like four inches thick of purple. But this is supposed to be the same the same temple representation as Solomon's temple.
He also made two pillars at the front of the house 20 or 35 cubits high and the capital on top of each was five cubits. So you have a temple pillar and then that little ornamental kind of a thing on top that's called the capital and then he put something on top of that.
He made chains in the inner sanctuary and placed them on the tops of the pillars. I didn't see any chains any place and he made 100 pomegranates. I didn't see the pomegranates placed on them in the chains.
He erected the pillars in front of the temple one on the right hand the other on the left and named the one of the right Joshua and the other left Boaz. Now in Matthew 27 51 when Jesus was crucified that temple veil was torn.
Now this is just a graphic that I found and Not a big deal. It's not like a super accurate representation. But the thing is that the temple was destroyed. Why? Well, when you get to that I'm explain it a little bit now during the temple tour you go in and you see.
The baptismal font inside the temple with 12 oxen around it. All right. Molten seal the metal see 10 cubits across 5 cubits high 12 oxen. Then he made a bronze altar 20 cubits in length and 20 cubits in width and 10 cubits in height.
Also, he made the cast metal C 10 cubits from brim to brim circular in form and its height was 5 cubits and its circumference was 30 cubits. Now figures like oxen were under it and all around at 10 cubits entirely encircling the sea.
The oxen were in two rows cast in one piece. It stood on 12 oxen three facing the north three facing west three facing south three facing east and the sea was set on top of them and all the hindquarters were turned inwards.
All right now. Yeah, let's see, okay. So this is one of the pictures of the baptismal font. Inside of a Mormon temple. I've been in I think three three or four now I can't remember and as what you can see is what they're doing here is baptizing people for the dead.
And that's at a first Corinthians 15 29. See how they who baptize for the dead. If there is no resurrection, it's not we baptize. Paul is talking about the universal aspect of the resurrection believed even by unbelievers.
That's why they baptize for the dead. We don't do that. That's not so the Mormons take that verse out of context but in Mormonism, there are three heavens in the afterlife the lowest is Celestial the middle is terrestrial and the higher is celestial and the celestial heaven has three levels as well.
The bottom two are not known what they're called but the highest one is called the Church of the Firstborn and. So as people die without being baptized in Mormonism in this world. They can receive the baptism by proxy by people who go into the temple faithful Mormons.
They don their garments they go in and then they receive the name of someone Genealogically researched and found and then they get baptized for that person. So one person could be baptized many many times for different people.
And then because the person's died gone into the next world the next level then the baptism has happened for that person that he could receive that baptism and benefit in in the thereafter, so I Remember saying that look the baptismal font last night going do I wish that was in my house?
Do they had a nice little rail walking down in it and really tired look comfortable. I I Would want the oxen. Forget the oxen, you know. It needs bubbles. Yeah, I'm warm is listening. Oh, you're irreverent.
This is irreverent. So what is Solomon's temple really look like? Here we go. I Checked drawing after drawing after drawing after drawing. Notice where the oxen are see here see the oxen on the outside of the temple.
They were never in the inside of the temple, why does a Mormon Church have them on the inside and Why does a Mormon temple or the Mormons put the veil that God destroyed why they put it back in the temple if God destroyed it.
We'll get into some stuff about that probably a little bit later. So you can see the molten sea with a 12 oxen. That's what the baptism thing is, but they have it inside the temple when it was never inside the temple.
It's just part of the issues. All right. Now come on. So here's a another drawing of it and you can see the bottom the bottom right issue says molten sea that is the. That's the thing that it's called a molten sea and has a 12 oxen around it and you can see the the structure there that is The temple this is how it was built on the left side.
You're gonna see the square and If you look in the middle of the square you can see a vertical line. That is the veil. See it's kind of squiggly. That's the veil. Now notice the far right is a over here.
This face is the East the rising Sun. So you supposed to walk straight through all the way notice. It's a straight line. To go all the way to the Holy of Holies. Now what I need to do sometime is do some research on the significance of all these items and just do a study and Present it because it's really interesting but you go through a straight line notice the altar the sacrifice first thing is blood and You go through porch you have to go through the show bread which represents things the incense which represents things the candles which represents things and You go through into the Holy Place, that's the first little area right there right here.
So the Holy Place. The priest could go in people could kind of go in you had to be specially qualified. Only the high priest could go around that veil and go to the Holy of Holies and in the Holy of Holies on the far Was the Ark of the Covenant and on the Ark of the Covenant was a mercy seat.
Mercy seat had two cherubim touching their wings there and that's called the mercy seat and inside of the Ark of the Covenant was Aaron's rod Ten Commandments and Jar of manna so the high priest would go in there once a year and On Yom Kippur and sprinkled blood on the top of the of the Ark of this mercy seat.
Which is where the angels were the lid so he sprinkled blood on there. And then he he'd leave that was just the propitiatory sacrifice if there's story offering the blood sacrifice and he would leave.
Okay. So when the sacrifice of Christ was was fit done that veil was destroyed now. This is in the very presence of God. So God is the one who did this. God is one who destroyed this veil because that symbol of Separation was gone.
We don't need the veil anymore it had to do with the blood sacrifice. What the Mormons have done with it is now they literally have undergarments and There have different symbols on their undergarments and those symbols are also on their thin veil in a celestial room.
And you shake hands with somebody who plays God on the other side. You shake hands with a pattern and This is to help you hopefully get exalted to godhood if you've kept celestial law and. So really what's happening here is as the high priest would go into the altar and pass through the blood.
Symbolically and go through in the Ark of the Covenant the place of God. Once Jesus was sacrificed. This is no longer necessary. The dwelling place of God is not in temples made with hands, but now in the hearts of his people.
So what are the Mormons saying when they say that you have to go to the house of the Lord for the presence of God? They're saying they're done and dwelt by them. They're saying they're not sanctified.
They're saying they're not cleansed by the blood of Christ. That's what you're saying. They don't realize it, but they're actually speaking damnation to themselves because they are not admitting that Jesus is literally in dwelling them because they shed blood cleanses them.
What they teach is you're saved by grace through faith after all you can do 2nd Nephi 25 23 and that you have to have your own blood shed to forgive us of certain sins murder and adultery. That's what Brigham Young taught, but how they officially hold that to now is another topic.
There's so many tangents I could take on and so. Just like those who say they're under the law. Romans 7 4 says he who has died is freed from the law. So I'm not under the obligation to keep the law in order to please God in order to go to heaven.
Jesus kept that law. Jesus did everything and because I've died. Romans 6 1 2 2 Romans 6 6. Romans 6 8. Colossians 3 1 through 5 talks about the true believer has died with Christ. Well what they're saying those who say we have to keep the law to be saved.
They're saying we're not we're we've not died with Christ and died to the law. Likewise those who's in the Mormon system here those who have. The more the temples are saying they're still under the old covenant system.
And the blood of Christ is not sufficient to cleanse them because they still need the old temple way. God got rid of the temple first. He had the temple veil destroyed. Then he had the temple proper destroyed in 70 AD the.
Then yeah, we get some other stuff. I've heard. Yeah, we'll get into that, okay. Temple of Jerusalem. 2nd Chronicles 4 7. Then he made the ten golden lampstands in the way prescribed for them. And he set them in the temple five on the right side five on the left.
I didn't see golden lampstands in there. You see any. I didn't see any okay. What's the lampstand it's just a like a Lamp that holds either candle or oil or something. There's supposed to be ten. And He also made ten tables and placed them in the temple five on the right side five on the left and.
Though there are tables in the temple of Mormon temples. They're not tables like this table that holds a thing of flowers as you're walking through a hallway. It's decorative. What? Fake flowers. Well, yeah, that makes sense.
They were fake flowers. I mean I saw one bouquet. Huh for god's temple though fake flowers. That makes sense. God's temple you think it'd be a real tip, but I saw one. Uh, I thought man. That's a nice looking fake thing of flowers.
It's really good. Wow, I thought it was cool. One of the quiet rooms. I wasn't saying anything in there. I didn't say anything. I wasn't being. And then the 12 golden, uh. The sea 12 oxen were outside the temple.
2nd chronicles 9 10. Then he made the court of the priest and the court and the great court and the doors of the court. That's automatically the court is outside the temple. And overlay their doors with bronze.
He set the sea on the right side of the house towards the southeast. That's outside the temple. So the 12 oxen are outside the temple done. That's where it's commanded to be. That's how it's that's set.
But they have the 12 oxen that thing on the inside, but remember it's the same thing that solomon did wrong. And here's something else I noticed wasn't there 400 pomegranates. Huh. Have you seen them?
You want some? Pomegranate juice is pretty good. Now in the 400 pomegranates for the two Networks two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls. I gotta sell you all this stuff, but.
Why pomegranates does anybody know why? I do the number of Things in there things number of things number of seeds. How many are there? 633 no close something like that. 613 there's 613 seeds in every pomegranate.
What's that coincidental with what was that coincidental with. The six how many laws are there in the old testament? 613. So the pomegranates have 613 seeds. And so there were pomegranates that were engraved now when I was in jericho.
About three four years ago on a bible tour with the jericho. We and we could see uh, you know the uh. The walls of jericho fell down. Well, it's a tourist area too. There's a lot a lot of Judaism through there in the history.
And I can still remember we walked along this one area and there were these pomegranates. Engraved in really old you could tell and it was really old stuff. And so the tour guide said well, by the way, notice the pomegranates i'm like pomegranates.
So what he said you ever notice why they're you know mentioned in the bible and I said I have no idea. And so he said well because there's 613 so he took Two pomegranates and counted the seeds and there are 613 in them.
So, I don't know if everyone's like that, you know get a mutant thing. So we have. We're almost done here we have the symbols of the pomegranates. Supposed to have candlesticks. Supposed to have various things inside the temple.
And so this the pomegranate symbolizes the law of god. Now what kind of symbols? Do you think? Are associated with mormon temples. Mormon buildings and things like that. Maybe you may have said hey, what kind of symbols are though?
That's a good question. Well, just so happens. I happen to have found some. Check this out. Yeah, so these are actual symbols and stuff on official mormon buildings. Okay. The bottom left looks like an old friend of mine from high school.
But uh, I don't think it's after him. He was he's kind of weird. So notice the pentagram. How do you get the pentagram the the point is pointing down? Now they'll say it's not a pentagram well. That's what a pentagram is.
That with a circle around it and it's been known for years Centuries as a symbol in the occult and witchcraft. And notice the all-seeing eye bottom right. And uh, I don't that thing is the bottom left it just does not look like it's like the moon on it.
That needs a diet or something.
Isn't it interesting? Did you see any pentagrams? It's a sun stone from the nahu temple made up three of them.
Yeah, I guess i'm stuff in the nahu temple here, too. And you can see these when you go to the temple square. You can go to the history building and you can see on the outside. We've got some stuff there from there, too.
I've taken many pictures. I didn't see any of the local temple. Oh this. I didn't look for them. I didn't see any. I didn't see any either. But they're pretty good about not putting them on the new temples.
Yeah the new stuff because People like us go. Hey, what's that occult satan symbol on your thing? The middle bottom that's a moon. I think it's a moon. It's supposed to be a half moon a half moon. Yeah.
Yeah, it's the moon and this right here that's where lunar 13 landed.
The sun stone on the bottom left is the celestial kingdom the moon is the terrestrial and the star the pentagrams.
Oh, I didn't know that. Thank you very much. So the bottom left the moon the sun thing is a celestial kingdom.
Pentagrams though, so they say it's okay. Yeah. Right. No, that's exactly how the pentagram is supposed to be. Yeah, the horns the ears.
It is what it is. It is what it is. It's a pentagram. In fact when I was with a friend of mine, we went to the temple square. We went across the street to the museum history, whatever it was. And I went up the stairs and there was a children's room.
Children's area about as big as this room here and had a lot of children's this and children's that little games they could play. And to my utter shock They had a pentagram. Multicolored pentagram there for the kids to reassemble the triangles in.
And I was like It was a pentagram. Just the indoctrination of the children, all right, here's some more symbols, okay. What top left? Yeah. Handshake. Handshake well in the mormon temple you have to learn four special Handshakes now joseph smith took these handshakes from the masons.
So that's what that is there. Maybe they can make that bigger. Let's probably could open the file up and then enlarge it and stuff like that. But it's handshakes. Can you see the handshakes? Okay? Yeah, okay and then the The sun thing there and then the sun thing on the bottom right and this is a church of history bottom left church of history Museum across from temple square salt lake city.
Wow. Okay, that's the bottom left is got a cross got a bird and all-seeing eye. Now i'm going to just take a shot at joyce meyer remember last week what did she say the all-seeing eye. Now I am of the opinion that demonic forces work behind the scenes and speak Similarly to different people in various forms of apostasy of false teachings.
What if it works. It's not broken don't fix it. That's right. Demonic realm knows what it's doing.
Here's look at this naboo temple. This is a occult stuff. Now let's say it's just a coincidence. It doesn't mean it's all calm. It's just like the swastika has been used in india before the germans were ever there.
Yeah doesn't mean it's evil automatically and that's true but This is definitely used in occult practices and satanism. And well before mormonism was on the scene. And then finally This. Yeah is the this is where mormonisms are going to go it's going to end.
And it's they're in bad shape. So, uh. Like I said, I had to throw this together today researching and doing stuff. Then I had to have lunch with somebody then I had to come to the radio show then so I wanted to do this because it was really interesting because Actually nathan kind of got me started on this because he said hey, you know these verses that are.
It was first king seven and second chronicles four. About the issue of the oxen on the outside of the temple. Hey, I never thought about that. Let's I wouldn't check. So I was just researching today and went.
Hey, wait a minute. This is getting interesting and they had my text and a whole bunch of stuff. And uh threw this together for that. So that's what's what's going on inside of mormonism. Mormonism is a non-christian religion.
It's a non-christian cult. And the reason is is because it has a different god different christ a different gospel. And what the geniuses of mormonism is the subjectivity of feelings. It puts feelings Above the word of god.
Now what i'm going to do. Whoops. I'm going to do is um. Get my bible program going which I should have done earlier and i'm going to uh. There we go. What's that? What? Well, I want to go there. I need a vacation, but I can't afford it.
It's so sad all right, so, uh. What i'm gonna do is go to genesis three. I want to read to you. Um a dialogue between satan and eve because this is important i've done this before. And it's something that we need to go over again and again and again so I don't think yeah, this won't show.
I don't know. Why is not showing up there. I don't know why it's not. Let me see if I can get that to work. Uh I wonder if you do it this way. You're so small. Oh, man messed up messed up. Okay. Let me okay.
Hold on. I'm gonna do this. I noticed that there's a windows extended over there. I don't know why I do that. I'll work on that later. Here we go. Oh, he's lying back. I talk to my computers when they don't do what I want.
It's never operator error. It's always the computer's fault and uh. Okay, so what i'm gonna do now is drag this over here so you guys can see this. Except it's awfully big. It's okay. But that's good enough and i'll figure something out.
Oh that works. Okay. So here we go. It says now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the lord god had made and he said to the woman. Indeed has god said you shall not eat from any tree of the garden.
What's the first thing satan does? Cast doubt on god's word now after we went to the temple. We went out to dinner with some people we went to a restaurant two ladies overheard us talking about the lord.
One came over and started talking to us. And the other one was a mormon and I started talking to the lady the mormon for about 10 minutes. And I said look, you know the bible says and she said the bible's been mistranslated.
The bible can't trust the bible. You know, she was just attacking the word of god. I said yeah. The eighth article of the mormon church says that the bible's correct insofar as it is correctly translated.
I said you know what it means to translate? It means to take from one written language to another written language. That's what it means. Does it mean your opinion about what it means? To translate means to to take from like spanish to english.
Translated from one written language to another language. That's what it means. She didn't know that so the first thing. Has God indeed has god said so satan actually quoted god and cast doubt on god's word.
Did he really say that? The woman said to the serpent From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat but from the fruit of the tree, which is in the middle of The garden god has said you shall not eat from it or touch it or you will die now.
When god gave the command to add them and adam gave it to her is what we think. Or touch it is not in the original. So what we have here is a step-by-step process to apostasy. Doubt the word of god.
Alter the word of god. Alter it. Joseph smith actually went in and did what's called the joseph smith translation. They called the jst of the king james and altered it. And of course another way of doing that is say well, it's not interpreted properly.
We will tell you what the bible really means. They add words to take away words. So for example, i'll go to isaiah 43 10 44 6 44 8 45 5 where it talks about god. Not even knowing you have any other god and they will say Of this world they'll add words to the text to make it Agree with what they want.
They're subjecting the word of god to their feelings to their desires. Judgment is upon them for doing this. They're going to be given over to the depravity of their hearts and their minds. For altering the very word of god because what they're doing is calling god a liar.
This is important. They're calling god a liar. They're saying your words aren't sufficient. I need to improve on them. I need to To verify them i'm the one who's going to judge your words as true. Those are the words of god, but i'm going to tell you what it really means.
That's what the cults do. That's what mormonism does. A judgment is coming upon them because god's word is the one that became flesh. And god said his word let there be light and god covenants old covenant new covenant old testament new testament.
He covenants by the power of his word for certain things to occur. And so when you alter the word of god, you don't believe the word of god you're calling him a liar. That's a great sin. He will let you have what it is you desire.
Or touch it. Adding the word of god modifying first doubt then modify then. What's the next thing the servant said to the woman you surely will not die. So what's happening now is we have the Doubting of god's word the altering of god's word the contradiction of god's word.
You shall not die. He didn't say that right away. He had to see where she's at so to speak. Did god really say that. Let's talk about god's word. Let's see what it really means. Oh, blah blah alteration when satan said.
Oh, she's altering the word of god. She's judging the word of god. Now he can do the same thing. You will not die. And notice his wisdom here. For god knows that now he's speaking for god. We call them false prophets.
For god knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened and you'll be like god. One good and evil. Now you've been to the temple ceremony. This is similar satan. Huh? I didn't go through you the temple summer didn't go through.
Okay so In the temple ceremony, which is a whole nother topic. Uh, there's the apron that is worn. It's the same apron that the people have that satan has except though. It's a different color. It's a symbol of his priesthood and his authority power and priesthood and um uh satan does a great deal of teaching and He's the one in the temple ceremony who instructs adam and eve the most.
He actually teaches them and at one point in the temple ceremony adam cries out to god the father and satan answers. It's so blatantly bizarre.
But what. It's the oldest trick. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you're gonna be like god that's right. Hey, you're gonna be like god and have your own planet and it's exactly right. You'll be like god. I call it the identic lie. You will be like him. That's exactly what mormonism says see genesis 3 1 through 6 exposes mormonism.
It really does. Uh, it says knowing good and evil now in mormonism. You actually they actually fell upward because they had to know evil in order to have children and some other stuff. The now check this out when the woman saw that the tree was good for food.
By her own estimation. What she sees and that it was a delight to the eyes. So now what's happening is she he uh, she says she likes it. This is experience. This is feelings. And the tree was desirable to make one wise.
So now what she's doing is judging the truth based on her desires. She took from its fruit and ate. And gave also her husband and with her and she ate. Maybe that's why women are supposed to make meals for guys or something.
I made something in the curse. I don't know pretty bad stretch so Genesis 3 1 through 6 is really important and mormonism Obviously is false for a lot of reasons. I will do this very quickly focus on the temple a little bit and hopefully a decent enough job to explain that.
The mormon temple is not the same thing as a temple of the old testament. Not the same thing as the temple of solomon not the same thing as the tabernacle. Where there was one temple in the bible they have many now where the veil was destroyed by god they put them back.
Symbolizing they're still um on this side of the veil the wrong side of the veil. To begin with and they're lost. Mormons have a false god a false christ and a false gospel. Unfortunately, that is the truth.
We need to pray for them. And um ask that god would be merciful to them so that they might leave the cult of mormonism and become saved right jake. Amen amen, which that's happened with him. He left mormonism and Praise god for that.
All right. I think we're done and what we do is take a what? I'm gonna pray out. Yeah. Thank you. I'll pray we'll close this out and take a break. We'll come back any questions you got. Lord jesus, thank you for the time and we ask lord that you would just bless this brief quick teaching about this topic.
And I hope I hope lord that by your grace you would bring people to see it. Mormons to see it and leave mormonism. People who are inquiring about mormonism to see it and and just abandon mormonism and come to the truth of who you are.
God in flesh died on the cross and that we need to only trust in you not our works not our feelings. But in what you have done Lord, jesus, we give you the praise. We give you the glory. We give you the honor.
We're so thankful for what it is. You have given us In your death and your burial and your resurrection. That everything needed for the deliverance. From the judgment to come. Is by your work completely and totally and not by ours.
We ask this and we give you the praise jesus your name we ask. Amen. Amen. All right.
