Accept Jesus as your Saviour now.

Accept the real Jesus who lives in heaven,not on some planet called Kolob.

Answer 1

They are Satanic symbols because its a satanic religion.

Answer 2

I saw only...
The North Star with it's long bottom stand of light (that's the star that lead the 3 wise men to Jesus in the manger
What's wrong with the moon?
What's wrong with the sun?
The Masons started out as builders for the Temple of David (That should be considered a Biblical symbol)

Do you believe someone is Christian just because they have a crucifix?

What do you have agains Mormons?

I always find it humorous when Protestants ridicule Mormons.... another Christian sect. You'll find more in common with them than you will with me.

Answer 3

Here is your answer... Similarity in symbols does not mean similarity in meaning. The cross-like Ankh symbol was used in pagan rituals of Egypt, but that does not make the symbol of the cross something pagan (though we prefer not to use the cross to remember Christ, wishing to focus on his victory over death through the Resurrection). If I walk into a cathedral and see a cross, it would be silly for me to condemn the Catholics for promoting pagan Egyptian rites with that symbol. The same applies to temples used in the LDS Temple, such as the stars, moons, or suns on the exteriror of the Salt Lake Temple.

The use of stars, including inverted five-pointed stars on some temples like the Nauvoo Temple, is often said to be evidence that LDS Temples are tied to the occult. However, at the time the Nauvoo Temple was deisgned, the five-pointed star was not a widely established symbol for the occult, but still carried an ancient positive meaning. On this topic, please see the excellent article by Matthew Brown, "Inverted Stars On LDS Temples," available at http://www.fairlds.org/pubs/Stars.pdf, 2002. Note that the Bible uses the symbolism of heavenly bodies to describe the work of God. Specifically, the symbols of the stars, the moon, and the sun are used in describing the next life (1 Cor. 15: 40-42 and other places). Is it a shock to find the same symbols on some LDS temples, given that the temple is about preparing us for the next life? Further, in Revelation 22:16, Christ refers to himself as "the bright and morning star," and for early Latter-day Saints, the morning star symbol referred to the coming of Christ and His millennial reign--a perfectly appropriate symbol for the temple. Brown's article also shows that stars, including inverted stars, were used by early Christians as valid Christian symbols. Inverted stars did not become associated with the occult until after the time of Joseph Smith, as Brown documents. The symbol of the star--whether it has five or six points--and the pentagram can be used for good or evil purposes. The fact that Satan worshippers have given evil meanings to the star, the broken cross, the goat, the moon, or whatever does not make the symbols inherently evil.

The all-seeing eye, a symbol seen in at least one old LDS Temple, is an ancient religious concept from Judaism and Christianity. I once saw a photo of it on a very old Catholic cathedral in Europe, and believe it is fairly common in Christianity and some aspects of Judaism. God sees all; His eye sees all. Yes, some secret societies with totalitarian aims may have adopted it, and may even be behind its placement on the US dollar bill, but it's another case of wicked people adopting a symbol with positive meanings. See Job 28:10: "his eye seeth every precious thing." Nothing wrong with that. And 2 Nephi 9:44 and Mosiah 27:31 refer to God's "all-searching eye."

Oh, and I have accepted Christ as my savior, refer to the real name of our church.

Answer 4

It's unbelievable how ignorant people CHOOSE to be when they wish to. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (get it right!) is not a satanic church--nor are the symbols used on some of the temples. photogrl262000 hit it right on the head when she told you to research the symbols. While you're at it, research the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Who they worship is in their name...Jesus Christ.

Answer 5

The satanic symbol and other are older than the Christs.... The building could be older than 2000 jears and it was later a church. Or they came from other groups.

Answer 6

I think you need to do some research as to where those symbols actually originated from. They are not satanic.

Answer 7

Hey, don't you believe in freedom of Choice????

I believe in the LDS, and in Jesus Christ, it is not Santanic, does that irritate you??

Atleast you should have the decency to respect one's choice, so don't go bad mouthing others, it just make you look bad.
