What can I say Rev you are the one contending that all should be able to attend the Temple worthy or unworthy.
It seem to me you feel that Lord requirement are foolishness and have not indicated that you recognized the need for one to receive and be in the spirit of the Lord in order to enter the Lord house.
All of the Lord children can attend the meetinghouse or chapel it is a place to prepare to go to the house of the Lord.
It does happen that some do attend the temple who are not really not temple worthy but skirted by, but they will not receive the benefits of being in the presents of the Lord as others because the Lord is aware of all our hearts and minds.
It is the same when the days I am in harmony with the Lord I know it, and the times I have allowed the natural man to surface I feel the distance.
There is nothing sweeter than having the Holy Spirit as a Constance companion.
1 Cor 2
12 Now we have received,
not the spirit of the world,
but the spirit which is of God;
that we might know the things
that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak,
not in the words
which man’s wisdom teacheth,
but which the Holy Ghost teacheth;
comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man
receiveth not the things
of the Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.
what ?.....so help me understand dearheart - if you dont get permission that means the Spirit isnt in you ?

So help me understand - youre only in the presence of the Lord when in the Temple ?.....I thought the Holy Spirit was in our hearts ?
