Mormons: How did you feel when the Church removed Satan's hireling preacher from the temple endowment in 1990?

Question

Source: Pre-1990 Temple Endowment Script:

(The part of the "SECTARIAN MINISTER" is about 1/2 - 2/3 of the way down the page)

Answer 1

Since the preacher in question was never "Satan's hireling", it's a loaded question.

It should be noted that the preacher never WANTED to be "Satan's hireling" and when he recognized Satan for who he was, he was quick to jump to the good guys.

Answer 2

The church believes in the fall of Adam. The believe the lie of Satan. The reason the church change the temple endowment. Because allot of exmormons were coming out with happen in the temple. Which they made the changes to make them look better.

Answer 3

First I feel really good about telling you that you know nothing about the temple. The temple is a sacred space, and the House of God. I feel really good about telling you that while God doesn't change, mankind does. And I feel really good about telling you that if God wants to change the temple ceremony, it should not make any difference to you, a non-believer.

I take from some of your answers you believe yourself to be a "Christian". So how, as a "Christian" are you so un-Christ-like? Do you not believe that Christ taught "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"? So why don't you live that?

You remind me of Korihor. You bash just for the sake of bashing. Shame!

Answer 4

You forgot about the rest before that, the robes the sign of the preisthood, all FREEAMSON symbolism!!! All proof that the Mormons are Freemasons, besides wiccan/pagans.
LUCIFER:: Good Morning sir!

SECTARIAN MINISTER: Good morning!

(The preacher turns and looks into the camera.)

SECTARIAN MINISTER: A fine congregation!

LUCIFER:: Yes, they are a very good people. They are concerned about religion. Are you a preacher?

SECTARIAN MINISTER: I am.

LUCIFER:: Have you been to college and received training for the ministry?

SECTARIAN MINISTER: Certainly! A man cannot preach unless has been trained for the ministry.

LUCIFER:: Do you preach the orthodox religion?

SECTARIAN MINISTER: Yes, that is what I preach.

LUCIFER:: If you will preach your orthodox religion to these people, and convert them, I will pay you well.

SECTARIAN MINISTER: I will do my best.

(Lucifer guides the preacher to Adam and Eve, who stand nearby.)

LUCIFER:: Here is a man who desires religion. He is very much exercised, and seems to be sincere.

(As Lucifer presents the preacher to Adam and Eve he steps back and observes the ensuing conversation. The preacher is made to sound sincere, although misguided and credulous. Adam appears humble, faithful and immovable in his determination to serve God. He is not swayed by the preacher, and is astounded by the doctrines espoused by the preacher.)

SECTARIAN MINISTER: I understand that you are inquiring after religion.

ADAM:: I was calling upon Father.

SECTARIAN MINISTER: I am glad to know that you were calling upon Father. Do you believe in a God who is without body, parts, or passions; who sits on the top of a topless throne; whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere; who fills the universe, and yet is so small that he can dwell in your heart; who is surrounded by myriads of beings who have been saved by grace, not for any act of theirs, but by His good pleasure. Do you believe in such a great Being?

ADAM:: I do not. I cannot comprehend such a being.

SECTARIAN MINISTER: That is the beauty of it. Perhaps you do not believe in a devil, and in that great hell, the bottomless pit, where there is a lake of fire and brimstone into which the wicked are cast, and where they are continually burning, but none never consumed?

ADAM:: I do not believe in any such place.

SECTARIAN MINISTER: My dear friend, I am sorry for you.

LUCIFER:: I am sorry, very very sorry! What is it you want?

ADAM:: But I am looking for messengers from my Father.

Answer 5

And why does this matter???

I feel this way: The Prophet is the one who receives revelation about EVERYTHING concerning the whole church.. so if he felt or received inspiration that something should change, I trust him. I believe he speaks for the Lord and I also trust the Lord.

It is very sad that these sacred ordinances are made readily available for those who know nothing about them and will mock them. One day, we will all be held accountable for our actions, thoughts, words and deeds.

"Those who reject this glad message will never such happiness know."

Answer 6

as I understand it (I'm not LDS) Mormons should be glad to hear that when God changed his mind he communicated that to his children.

Answer 7

I personally didn't feel anything.
Is there something wrong? I don't get it.

Answer 8

HUH? Who cares.
