Once again, you've AVOIDED answering the WHY you get asked these questions.

I have given you logical, reasonable answers I am to the point that I am going to ask you, since my answers are wrong, what answer were you looking for?

If GOD really wants you to do this, it should be in your Scriptures.

The text of the ceremony is not supposed to be in the scriptures we have now. 2/3 of the Plates delivered by Moron to Joseph smith were sealed because we were not ready for the truth they contain. Why do you think God would print what he has commanded people to keep sacred in scriptures given to everyone?

Only ONE question this time:
Why don't you point them out?


What? The scriptures containing the covenants? Nope, not going there for they are not in the scriptures that would make the command to keep them acred pretty moot don't you think?

Scriptures telling us to go to the temple? I pointed out some from the D&C, you said they did not count.

I have no intention of Showing you a scripture that says we need to covenant with God before going through the temple, for this looks to me like the "God can't make a stone so big he can't move it" argument against God being all powerful.

I have answered your questions as many ways as I can and be truthful, so again, what (in your mind) was the right answer?

It’s really impossible to discuss comparative religion if one keeps its teaching secret.

I respect that you may do so, however, you should understand that this makes discussion of it impossible.

The text of the ceremony is not supposed to be in the scriptures we have now. 2/3 of the Plates delivered by Moron (sic ;^) to Joseph smith were sealed because we were not ready for the truth they contain.

[Then where is JS's 'command' written that tells you to do these things?]

[No; I said it wasn't a correct answer to the question asked.]

I have no intention of Showing you a scripture that says we need to covenant with God before going through the temple, for this looks to me like the "God can't make a stone so big he can't move it" argument against God being all powerful.
[And to others...]

Since you CANNOT show me, ANYWHERE, in the LDS organization's output,
where you people are COMMANDED by GOD to do these things,
it remains a FACT then, that you are following traditions of men.
