Would you like for me to post the LDS link to Smith’s rewrite of the Bible, especially the additions to Genesis like the 800 plus words at the end of chapter 50?

Not me... just a simple posting of WHERE the AUTHORITY for the Temple rites is found.

From the Old and New Testament:
Malachi 4:4-6
=============
"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and dreadful day of the Lord:"

"And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."

Hebrews 11:39-40
================
"And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:"

"God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect."

I Corint 15:29
--------------
"Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?"

I Peter 3:18-19
===============
"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:"

"By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;"

I Peter 4:6
-----------
"For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit."

Matthew 16:19
------------
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
