For mormons...?

Question

In the temple endowment why do you put on green aprons like satan? What does this represent? You think there is nothing wrong with this? Please give me a straight answer and don't brush me off. Be truthful.

Answer 1

I just looked it up, and, you're wrong about it. No, I'm not Mormon.

" Green Apron
The apron worn by temple patrons is green, which is symbolic of life. The fig leaves on the green apron are a fruit known for the countless multitude of seeds. This green apron full of fruitful seeds is worn after Adam and Eve are cast out, and strategically over the loins symbolizing the new power to procreate, be fruitful and multiply.

Satan's Apron
Currently in temple ceremonies, Satan wears a dark apron, which he says is a symbol of his powers and priesthoods. But before the 1960’s, Satan in the temple wore an apron with many symbols on it, including an all-seeing eye, beehive, skull and crossbones, compasses, suns, moons, stars, etc.. "

Answer 2

Will you believe why if someone who has been there, that is faithful, tells you or will you believe what others who hate write or say about it? The apron is totally different than that of Satan's. It is to represent covering nakedness like Adam and Eve in the garden after they partook of the forbidden fruit.
There is no "chanting"...it is amazing what people come up with.

Answer 3

Like Satan? I didn't know he wore one. Anyway, because this is a sacred topic, Mormons are not really allowed to discuss it. But suffice it to say, the garment you speak of has nothing to do with Satan. We abhor Satan, and worship Jesus Christ our Savior.

The symbolic donning of sacred clothing in a ritual context is prominent in ancient texts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nag Hammadi codices, the pseudepigrapha, and Rabbinic and early Christian literature. This ritual action of putting on a sacred garment is properly termed an "endowment," a word that comes from Latin root words meaning "to clothe" and "to lead or initiate." It is often mentioned in connection with endowment ordinances of initiation, especially the anointing. Symbolically, the ancient garment represented the glory of the premortal existence, which was laid aside while we put on another garment representing our mortality as a consequence of the Fall. The ancient garment was a reminder of sacred covenants, protected its wearer against evil, and represented the glory of the resurrected body. An added robe represented the added righteousness procured for entrance into the kingdom of God and for passing by the angels posted there. When one wore the garment, one also took upon himself a name for passing through the gate, the name of Jesus Christ, with whom ultimate unity became possible through these ancient ordinances. There are many sources, dating from 2000 BC to AD 400, that describe the garment in its ancient spiritual setting.

Answer 4

I am not a Mormon, but you are not quite correct. The green was worn by Adam and Eve after they sinned. The Mormons chant "Pey lei ale" or whatever three times; this is where Satan comes in. They believe that Adam said this three times in the garden, and Satan appeared unto him. What do they think will happen when they do it?
