Thank you to the RLDS and Community of Christ members who have taken such wonderful care of this building. It is a precious treasure to the world; And it served a significant function in the restoration process.
I'm an LDS member, the Kirtland Temple is very pretty, and its history is very heart-touching. Emma Smith played one of the BIGGEST roles, and she suffered so much. Thank you, Emma Smith. 😄
I am SO grateful for the kirtland temple. I have always wanted to visit the kirtland temple in Ohio. Thank you so much for making this video of the kirtland temple. I felt the spirit the whole video.
Wonderful video! I can't wait until the Kirtland Temple comes back into the possession of the church. If the world only knew the significance of that building...the sacrifice of the people to build it, its significance in fulfilling the prophecy of Elijah's return and the keys of authority that caused the gathering of Israel to begin! These keys were conveyed to the apostle Orson Hyde, who invoked them on the Mount of Olives on October 24, 1841. “The vision of the Lord, like clouds of light, burst into my view. The cities of London, Amsterdam, Constantinople and Jerusalem, all appeared in succession before me, and the Spirit said unto me, ‘Here are many of the children of Abraham whom I will gather to the land that I gave to their fathers; and here also is the field of your labors.’” After a long and arduous trip fraught with suffering and personal sacrifice, Elder Hyde arrived in Jerusalem. That Sunday, he climbed the Mount of Olives, and just as he had seen in the vision, offered a heavenly inspired dedicatory prayer that put in motion the return of the Jews to their ancestral homeland in Palestine. ۞
@@ChrisJones-ij3xp it isn't owned by the lds church. The Community of Christ church owns it. They once were known as the RLDS church short for the reorganized church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Community of Christ owns a lot of the historical church sights.
@@jamestaylor1975 Thank you. I'd quickly come to figure that this'd been about the Utah-style Brighamite LDS church having their eye on Kirtland to have and to hold, the way they have Nauvoo. I'm of a Baptist offshoot, not Restorationist at all, but am interested in pre-Civil War U.S. history. My late friend Bert Dreher was RLDS/CoC until he passed away in '09, and he told me some about the history of the church.
@@ChrisJones-ij3xp I'm happy to hear you aren't part of restorationist group. I was born and raised in the lds church ( Brighamite church) but resigned my membership in 2017 because of the history.
What a beautiful temple! That’s where Christ came to the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum and spake unto them that He had accepted that house, and prophets from ancient times including Moses, Elias, and Elijah came to and restored the priesthood keys. It’s also where the Prophet Joseph Smith had a vision of his dead brother Alvin in the Celestial Kingdom along with the revelation the Lord told him in these words: “All who die without knowledge of this gospel who would have received it will be heirs to the Kingdom of God!” I love The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ history!
@@ericahensley0 That is correct. It all comes down to this: read The Book of Mormon, then pray and ask of God in the name of Jesus Christ if the book is true. And if it is true; and I testify that it is, then the Prophet Joseph Smith was a true prophet who translated the book with the power of God, and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord’s restored church on the Earth. And this is not all. Behold, I testify unto you that I do know that these things whereof I have spoken are true. And how do you suppose that I know of their surety? Behold, I say unto you they are made known unto me by the Holy Spirit of God. I have fasted and prayed many days that I might know these things of myself. And now I do know of myself that they are true; for the Lord God has made them manifest unto me by his Holy Spirit; and this is the spirit of revelation which is in me.

My newest videos are from about 2 months ago on the Tabernacle. I’ve been traveling a bit, so have not had a chance to publish any new ones. But hopefully later this week.
I'm glad the community of Christ has taken care of this temple, the lds church would close it off from the world. A house of GOD for all people not just some.
@Scott Duffin There sadly is. I don’t normally like talking down about other religions, but it comes down to these two churches: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Community of Christ. Behold, the Community of Christ branched off from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and therefore doesn’t have a leg to stand on. For if The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is wrong, so would the Community of Christ. And if The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is right, the Community of Christ is wrong since they were a part of us and went out from us. They wanted to run the church their own way and contrary to what the Lord commands through the prophets of whom He calls. I testify to you of a surety that I know The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord’s church on the Earth, that the Book of Mormon is verily true, and the Prophet Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God who restored the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Earth.
I actually had a chance to speak with one of the Community of Christ apostles a few months back and I sensed no resentment on his part. In the past I think there was perhaps, but it was a great experience to talk with him. He was a very good man, seeking to help bring people to Christ.
The church said that because I am not "press" I did not have licence to use the footage and pictures from the Mormon Newsroom. Working through to see if I can get permission, but until then, the videos are offline sadly.
It is not a cross, just a weather vane, which is original. They have had to replace it because of age, but they replicated the original. If you go to the visitors center they still have the original inside (or I should say one of the originals).
hardly the Kirtland temple is owned by Community of Christ RLDS and they do not do the rituals the LDS do. anyway the book of Mormon says you cannot baptist the dead
BrianTerrill In the Lord's due Time? The Lord isn't concerned with LDS temple Masonic temple rituals. Please read your Bible without the lense of Mormonism. Jesus is all you need, no temple necessary. We are His Temple. God does not dwell in buildings made with man's hands.
@@tdubs5128 The temple ordinances are not for salvation. Everyone who accepts Christ as their Lord and savior, has real faith and repents is saved from their sins through the grace of Christ. The scriptures are clear about that. So you are right all you need to be saved is Christ. However the temple ordinances and covenants people make in the temple are not about salvation they are about exaltation. About getting a bigger and better reward than just not going to hell...
Oh sure, you can be baptized, join, and then be reminded of your failings for the rest of your life, sure. I did all that, but the constant weedlings and condemnations about not being Temple worthy ... Sorry, sent the letter had the talk ... done with it.
I guess you've never heard of boot camp? You are reminded of your shortcomings all the time because if they trained you soft you'd be dead and a platoon or two with you. God's boot camp can't be any different we are God's army in the last days. We need to know our shortcomings and improve upon them
@@khadijagwen Have no worldly sorrow. When you repent of your sins by confessing them before Him and ask Him for forgiveness, He will forgive you, and when He does, He remembers your sins no more! They are forgotten, and you can continually move forward in life, continually improving, and continually drawing closer to your Savior Jesus Christ! If the members are judging you, don’t worry about them. They’re imperfect like we all are. All that matters is you are trying. The Lord is very forgiving and will help you through your weaknesses and build you up. Repenting from your sins daily makes you temple worthy because you’re trying. Please seek the truth taught from The Book of Mormon in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And you will hear the voice of God through His Holy Spirit and He will continue to guide you in this life. Please don’t give up because of the members judgments, you know who you are and so does the Lord. He loves and cares for you as I do too! I say this in the name of Jesus Christ amen!

Beautiful Temple of God. Hope The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can re-purchase the Temple and restore it to its former glory.
It still has it's glory, the lds church does not give it that or own it.
This is very important and glorious temple to the community of christ and the LDS church should respect that
This temple always belongs to Community of Christ! It is not a has never been a LDS temple.

What do Mormons believe about grace?
After all that you can do (ie no matter how much you do for your faith) it is still by grace that you are saved.
what happened with the other videos? :(
