Interestingly, the Jewish Temple of Jesus’ day would not have qualified as a place of worship under these criteria. There were specific lines beyond which, successively, gentiles, Jewish women, Jewish men, Levites, and priests could not go. Only the High Priest himself was supposed to enter the Most Holy, and then on only one day a year.


And the Mormon church has re-sewn the curtain once rent from top to bottom.

And only allows the “most holy” to come inside.

A return to legalism for the benefit of man’s desire to control his fellow man.

Ya know, I've read this whole thread, and I haven't seen much on it that is IMO either Christian or American.

I'm not Mormon, I don't agree with Mormonism, but this is really sad.

Who set you (or me) up to decide on the validity of a religious organization's doctrine?
