Why Mormons Build Temples
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 бер 2009
- Throughout history, the Lord has commanded His people to build temples. Temples are literally houses of the Lord. They are holy places of worship. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints build temples where individuals can go and make sacred promises with God. Only worthy members of the Church can enter the house of the Lord.

I find myself back to this video, year after year. In college, I studied the Latter-day Saints while researching religions of the world. I had the great opportunity to learn from students of Prof. Stendahl and revere his rules for religious understanding, and I'm grateful for the missionaries, members, and now family for the journey that led me to now; five years later, a member of the church with a beautiful wife, who served a mission, and a wonderful daughter born into this faith and culture. I'm glad I can watch this message, reflect on the past few years, and feel the joy of finding faith.
Love.

I am a baptized Catholic, and love and honor my faith. One of my very good and beloved friends is LDS and a temple worker. I do appreciate the Mormon ritual of baptizing the dead, and since my mother had never been baptized in life I asked my friend to have her baptized at the temple. My father was baptized at the same temple after he passed in 1985 by his sister (my aunt) who was a Mormon. Now I am considering having my parents sealed in the temple too.
+Robyn Hansen Dear Robyn, Your family is so blessed to have you serving and caring about them - beautiful!
Thank you so much! I am equally as lucky to have Mormon friends who respect me for my beliefs, but honor my requests for my parents. It truly is a beautiful union of two faiths.
+Robyn Hansen That is so cool, Robyn! What a great comment that shows genuine love and friendship on many levels. A true Christian, I see.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I was Catholic for 17 years of my life, then I met a wonderful family from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and I started going to Church with them. I felt my heart touched deeply a few times, just like sacred moments. Then, after about one year of praying, searching and seriously pondering about it, I decided to be baptized. I had to change a few things, bad habits, in my life in order to be baptized, it wasn't an easy decision when I think of my behavior as a teenager. However, when I think about my faith, I don't feel that I had to change much, as I would continue praying to our Heavenly Father and having faith in our Savior Jesus Christ. After one year I could say that I fell in love with the Church. I loved the opportunity I had to serve and to talk about the gospel in our Sunday classes. I felt so close to God and thankful that I decided to serve a mission. As a result of all that, I served a 2 year mission and then I got married in the Temple. I love going to the Temple, it helps us remember the commitment we have with God, and it makes me feel that we must always look for excellence in everything we do in life. I was the only one baptized in my family, but my Catholic parents respect it so much, and they also have asked me to baptize my grandparents and great grandparents in the Temple. Our faith is a lot more similar than we usually think, we all love our Savior and our Father in heaven. It's great to see people like you, who can naturally see how similarly good we are, instead of the opposite. You have a good heart. Greetings from Brazil.

The Temple lifts me and is a place of tranquility. Grateful for the blessings of the Temple.
Great to hear! I can see how this helped you in your spiritual journey
Eu só comecei a ler ,eu leio mais a Biblía
Os missionários disse que teria que ler a biblía e o Mormón um pouco todos os dias
Being in the temple is the sweetest heavenly experience. It is a place where inspired thoughts flow freely. It is a place where one can put aside the cares of the world and draw close to God, our Heavenly Father. Most of all, it is a place where one sees clearly that the Lord Jesus Christ is the center of everything - our Brother and our Savior. I love to go to the temple!
I absolutely love your channel every time I watch one of your video I remember god is with me and I could do all thing through Jesus Christ my god
I love to see the temple,
I'm going there again someday,
to covenant with my Father,
to promise and obey.
For the temple is a hoise of God a place of love and beauty,
I'll prepare myself while I am young,
This is my sacred duty.
I love being LDS.
And i get alot of joy and happiness from living the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

" I can go to the temple and feel God is all all around."

What a wonderful video!
I usually go to the temple once a week, it's something I hold very close to my heart.
this brings me so much more happiness to watch than videos on criticizing the church. thanks for posting
One day I would love to see the temple.
one day at a time, step by step. www.comeuntochrist.org/requests/missionary-visit
if your a member talk to your bishop/ branch president. make a plan, look at the gospel and take those things out of your life that are not in harmony with Christ's gospel. as you keep trying it will get easier.

Oi
Quem sabe um dia ,amém
Thanks for posting this video! It's reminded me how important the temple is. I hope those who view this video who don't understand why Mormons build temples can at least understand that it is a very special place to us.
I love the Church! Because it brings me happiness, and a big part of that happiness is based on what we do in the temples.
The best short video about Mormon temples I've ever seen. Thanks!
This is what some members of my family have to see. I loved hearing what the professor and the priest had to say about LDS Temples.
I am a Mormon I love to go to church My favorite Song out Children's Songbook
Is I Love to see The Temple!
I Love this Video, Love to go to the Temple every time and also especially when i am in facing problems in my life.
I'm going to the temple on my birthday, next wednesday. Best birthday present ever
What Christianity is about- that was nice. Tranquility, kindness, love light. nice too.
I am glad I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I thank the missionaries who came to our house to teach us about Jesus and the restoration of the gospel.
Excellent video explaining some of the reasons why we build temples. Thank you for sharing this.
Beautiful & inspiring. Thank you for sharing this video.
What a wonderful and uplifting video! I love the temple so much!
The temple is such a beautiful place, so peaceful and pure. It's one of the most amazing places i've ever been in my entire life.
The temple is such a peaceful quiet place. I love the calm feeling that comes into me as I sit and reflect in it's beautiful walls. It really does feel like Heavenly Father's living room.
Outstanding message.
It never ceases to amaze the beauty
of this Houses of the Lord.
I love the temple. My mother always says that in the gospel, all roads lead to the temple, and the temple leads us to Christ. That is true!
Wow this made me feel good. I'm going to share this for the YSA lesson tomorrow.
The Temples are so beautiful, and you can just see that our Heavenly Father abides in them. I cannot wait to get sealed in one of the beautiful Temples.
This video is excellent & so enlightening,what a great posting! Thanks for sharing!
I am a Mormon. I know it. I live it. I love it 3. :-) I love going inside the temple and just being overcome with the spirit
I love the baptism faunt at the DC temple. The 12 oxen carved out of stone (I forget the type of stone) are so beautiful & I love how the tub rests on their backs. It's where I did my 1st baptism for the dead at age 12. I'll never forget what a holy feeling the entire temple exuded. I'm no longer a member but I can still appreciate these beautiful buildings.
Thank you so much for posting this video..I think a lot of people get the wrong impression when they hear of our temples. I loved this video..it gives of such a great feeling of the spirit. I love going to the temple, feeling so at peace and so close to God is such a wonderful and amazing experience!
This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing it.
This is an Amazing video! I love going to the temple it is truly the House of the lord!
I love to see the temple. I love to go there!
Im so bless to be a member of this true church.
I can't think of a better place to receive inspiration about life's problems and questions. My wife and I go to the temple together to seek answers about things ranging from employment and financial issues to more spiritual questions about decisions we're considering. I'm glad to live within 20 minutes of two different temples in Utah.
A beautiful video. I enjoyed it very much. It was spiritually uplifting just to watch it. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Beu'lah Mary
Thanks for posting! I love the Church! I love the Temple, Excellent video....
it is amazing how studying the Holy Scriptures and attending the Holy Temple go hand in hand and compliment each other in our quest to be true Christians.
I love going to the Temple. It is where I escape from the world and reflect upon eternity. It is my "sacred space" of refuge. Everything about the Temple is centered around Jesus Christ.
Very nice little vid on temples. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I can testify that it is the Lord's true church, that all that was once lost has been restored to the earth.
What wonderful timing for such a wonderful message to be available.
It is a beautiful thing, i go to the church of jesus christ of latter day saints and im 11 and i have been inside the temple next to it, it is amazing! you feel so diffrent in a good way, i went in for the open house of the temple and when i was at an activity day at my church, and it is just you can feel more close of more amazing its the best thing you could ever do.
I've been LDS my entire life. I served a mission in Madagascar. IT was the most destitue, poor place I have ever seen. But the people there were happy. They loved their families, they loved their friends, and they tried to lead good lives.
Some of them had the chance to go to the Temple in South Africa after selling everything they had. IT changed their lives and made their families closer. The temple is a good place and the Church does great work helping people see good in the world.
" A place where I can reach for Heaven
and it reaches to me."
Thank you for this. very informative and spiritual
This video helps me to let go of my anger towards those who make a mockery of all things sacred and to feel the spirit. I hope that I and other members will be motivated to go to the temples more often, because of all of this.
Thank you for creating this video to express the real meaning of modern day temples. When I was sealed, to my husband, thirty two years ago in the Washington, DC temple, I felt as if I were in heaven. The temple, in Palmyra, NY is where I had the privilege of attending the wedding of my son.
I thank thee oh God for a prophet to guide us in these latter days and for His son whose name the church bears

I live close to the Cardston Temple which is in the southwest corner of Alberta Canada. This was the first Temple in Canada and some of THE most beautiful wood work is in this Temple, it simply took my breath away. I also go to church in the oldest working LDS church in Canada. It is so humbling to know that those walls were erected by the men who founded our church....we even have a balcony! lol Im so proud and humbled to be LDS, i wish all to seek and find your place in God's kingdom.
I love hearing what those outside of the LDS Church have to say on this video. I love the open-mindedness and intelligent comments from the Harvard professors of other faiths. Truly temples are a restoration of biblical practice to bind people in covenants for all time and eternity. Thank you for the insightful video.
inspiring to hear from our Prophet
The temple lifts us
To where we can see
The path of Jesus
Bright and heavenly
I feel blessed to have a Temple in Stockholm Sweden.
All the LDS Temples are so beuatiful, in the world.
There is no place on earth that you can find a deeper sense of tranquility than on Mormon temple grounds. The mere view of the magnificent structure is indeed purifying to the soul already.
This is a great video, I always love going to the Temple. What a great place that welcomes all, just requires some learning and dedication on the part of the goer. The Temple is heaven on earth, for me.
Thanks for sharing this. Wonderful.
Great video! Thanks for posting it up! I hope this answers any questions anyone might have about our temples. : )
Thanks so much far sharing i have visit the Temple once it was so peaceful and you do fill like your home in heaven I miss it so much I must straighten my life out and get write with God so i can go again!
I really liked what the professor from Harvard said about all of the information that is found in the Bible about the temple. When I go to the temple I like to think about the people in ancient times that participated in this sacred practice. It is amazing that we as children of God have been using temples for hundreds, even thousands of years. It is a testament to me that God is the same today as He was yesterday, and He will be the same forever and ever.
beautiful message :')
Temples are such peaceful, beautiful places. We go there to learn, to serve our families and to feel the spirit. I love to go there, especially with my family. We are so blessed to have temples as the central focus in our church and daily lives. Everything we do should focus on the temple.
I am forever grateful that my parents were married in the temple, and in the temple my family was sealed, so that we can live together for eternity in the next life.
This is a very good and informative video. I think that it explains the Mormon purpose for temples and beliefs in a respectful and honest way. They are not aggressive but humble in sharing their message. Thanks.
thanks for sharing this video about of temples...greetings from Talca, Chile
Good to see the Church, taking the high ground & testifying of truth without controversy or confrontation. Thank you to the folks at Church headquarters overseeing this UA-cam channel effort.
Stendahl, theologian, Lutheran Bishop, Professor, Harvard
Stendahl's 3 rules of understanding:
You should ask the adherents of that religion and not its enemies.
Don't compare your best to their worst.
Leave room for "holy envy." Admire elements in the other faith that you wish could be in your own.
Those temples are amazing. The baptismal pool had such grandeur.
I love working in the Melbourne Temple, because I know that I am helping those souls which never had the chance here in this life to go to the Temple for themselves. How much Heavenly Farther
loves us. This makes so much sense for we all know God is truly merciful. He never forgets anyone,he loves us all. In the Temples those who died not knowing Jesus Christ are given that same chance. This is the God I always believed in and only found him in this church. I give thanks to my missionarys.
Wow - what a great video. I especially enjoyed the comments from outside experts about Temples.
Although I don't have any desire to be Mormon thank you for your channel and revealing what it is to be a Mormon and what you believe I've been curious what you guys believe even though I will never agree I do thank you for sharing what you guys believe
"Nothing in life that is worthy,
Is ever to hard to achieve
If you have courage to try it
And you have the faith to believe."
Thanks you !!! This is something that I can show to many no members
Wonderful message
I have never been in the temple cause I'm only 11 but I'm 1 soon so I can't wait.
+Gage Allan when i first entered the temple 2 years ago i felt...I cant really explain but you'll see its like you feel calmness, peace, love, and happiness.

A lovely and inspiring video!
Great video! We need to continue to post positive and accurate content about the Church on UA-cam.
That's beautiful!
Im not a Mormon but i love the idea of the Temple.And the beliefs behind them.My Mother passed away before i could tell her how much i loved her.I did not treat her to well yet she loved me and gave me her all til she could give no more and i wish i could see her again.
This is a very clear explanation of Mormon Temples. Thank you.
I love going to the San Diego temple because it is the place where I can directly speak with my heavenly father and ask him for guidance.
Beautiful video. A temple is truly a place to go.
How beautiful Thy temples Lord.
I am so excited for the new one thats gong to be made in Rome, Italy and Pittsburgh, PA!
muchas gracias, por este mensaje y la explicación que nos dan de la importancia de construir templos. GRACIAS.
Thanks for the excellent video!
Thank you so much. Such an inspired reply! Truth is truth and cannot be overthrown. Temples are truly a sacred space, a holy place, a taste of what our heavenly home was and will be. It is Home in the most sacred and familiar and wonderful sense of the world. We desire that all of Heavenly Father's children may have the chance to take part and experience this Home. Come unto Christ. Come unto His Holy House. It can be yours, too.
Very wonderful, thank you
Im a mormon too. I just got my temple recommend {The thing that allows you to go into the temple} So I have to wait for the next temple trip
that is true
we must stick together!
Thank you!
Wow, great video!
Great message. Good feeling about it.
Excellent! Timely message to the world
Whenever I attend the temple, my marriage is strengthened, I find answers to questions about life, and my overall perspective is improved. I love to attend the temple with my wife. We were married in the Manti Temple almost 8 years ago. Each time we return to the temple together, we are reminded that God ordained marriage, our marriage, and that he expects us to work hard to make it as fulfilling as he intended. I'm grateful to see temples being built across the world.
this was an awesome video!
