The St. George Utah Temple is the first temple where endowments for the dead were performed.

The Founding Fathers of the United States of America appeared twice to Wilford Woodruff in the St. George Utah Temple asking why their temple work had yet not been performed on their behalves. A striking painting depicting this singular event hangs in the temple lobby (That We May be Redeemed by Harold I. Hopkinson).

The message is the medium. The Bayeux Tapestry isn’t Fine Art by any stretch,(or even an actual tapestry) but it is still a cultural icon.

Their heads look like they’ve been photoshoppned onto their bodies. Not the guy at the desk, but most of the rest of them do, anyway.

It may be understandably hard for you to believe this, based on some of our previous discussions, but I genuinely would like for you to explain this either privately or publicly to me. I would like to understand what your position is. I promise that I will not attempt to refute it, either publicly or privately, unless you invite discussion from me.

I see this as perfectly in line with the purpose of the Religion Forum.

thanks

Nully...! You're a talking dog?

Our Founders were NOT mormons in their times

That’s the whole thing right there...

They are now...

They “demanded” to be dead dunked into Mormonism and so they were...

Just like Obamas Mom Stanley Ann Dunham..

In June 2008 Stan Ann was dead dunked by the Mormons thus making her a Mormon and then she was given all the highest honors, anointings, and endowments and temple married to the polygamous Barack Obama Sr and sealed to her son Barack Obama making him a Mormon also..

That Nov we got our first Mormon president...

You have to understand to the Mormons this process is real..

Obama is as much or more of a Mormon than Willard Mitt Romney is..

and while Willard could be excommunicated but I don’t think he can because he has probably had the much coveted “2nd anointing” Obama cannot lose his Mormonism..

Dead dunking and sealing cannot be reversed..Joey Smith didn’t write a “prophecy” for that occurrence...

Meanwhile the Mormons dead dunked several of my Christian ancestors too..

So the guy who shows up in the End Times and kicks Satan’s butt and kills vast numbers of his minions is not your Christ?

Good to know.

"One of the ways you can tell if God is present is by the peace,love and godly spiritual confidence that is communicated to your soul, such as at the temple. "

Teppe, another way to discern God's presence is whether a prophet's predictions come true or not. According to the Bible, if the prophet is of God, the prophecies will always come to pass. None of Joseph Smith's ever did.

Shhhhhh!!!! On the internet, no one knows you're a dog!

(Not a dog, do you know the story of Balaam?)

mormonISM does not worship the agod or Christ of the Bible.
mormonISM worships a man who became a god (among many)
mormonISM worships a christ that worked his way to some worthy state
The Founders would laugh at mormonISM, they believed in an eternal God, not a nan who was called a god

[svcw]

Ah what?
Anyway, fruits referred to false prophets/teachings

[Utah Binger]

Bayeux Tapestry?

LOL, at least the world has a chance to see it. Doubt that will ever happen at the St. George temple. BTW I heard the church has now removed Hopkinson's painting of Moroni from the Manti temple.

I wonder why.

[svcw]

Key phrase “modern times”, oh and they have to be that way because they earn by works their mormonISM salvation

[Tennessee Nana]

According to the Mormons those “vast numbers” killed were men, women and children in Central America when their jesus visited that area during his 40 days after sweating and bleeding for them in the garden.....

[ErnBatavia]

St. George will be forever burned into my mind (and guts)as host city to a Golden Corral buffet joint....ate there on day one of a driving trip and got the pukes and sh*ts that lasted to Idaho Falls, Cody, and on into Wall, South Dakota.

Transcontinental ptomaine...

[CatherineofAragon]

I do know the story, and I’m going to pull one of your ears for that...but gently, LOL.

[Utah Binger]

I don’t like St. George either. Went over there for an echocardiogram followed by an angiogram on May 29 and ended up in intensive care after flatlining on the table. Whew!
