	Temple (Mormonism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The Latter Day Saint movement was conceived as a restoration of practices believed to have been lost in a Great Apostasy from the true religion of Jesus Christ.
		Salt Lake Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah is the fourth remaining Latter-day Saint temple and is the centerpiece of the 10 acre (40,000 m²) Temple Square.
		Latter-day Saints perform these proxy ordinances because they believe deceased non-Mormons are in a condition referred to as "Spirit Prison." They believe that Christ went to the righteous spirits in prison and organized a great missionary force to teach the gospel to the dead who, in turn, may be baptized by proxy in a temple.

	Mormon Answers: Love, Dating, and Marriage for Mormons
		Marriage is an ordinance bringing change in relationships and is thus an ordinance for this mortal world that must be performed before we enter into the eternal realms in the presence of the Father.
		Marriage, baptism, and some other covenants are handled on earth, either by the living themselves or by the living vicariously for the deceased, and sources of confusion will need to be ironed out and resolved with God's help before we enter into Eternal Life in His presence.
		Marriage as a social institution is their to protect the woman and society from the abundant harms of sexuality without commitment.

		In the beginning the principle of plural marriage was declared to be "the most holy principle ever revealed to man." It was zealously proclaimed that the principle would never be given up, and that if it were the Church would be in an apostate condition.
		For a while those desiring to continue practicing plural marriage went out of the country, putting themselves outside the jurisdiction of the law that had forced the termination of the practice.
		It was inevitable, therefore, that someone would arise with pretensions of divine direction and authority to continue the practice of plural marriage independent of the course of an "errant" church.

		Arrington and Bitton explain "Biblical rhetoric was used to heighten the Saints' sense of leaving a place of persecution for a Promised Land and of being miraculously blessed and guided."(96).
		"Plural marriage was abandoned, the peoples party was replaced by mainstream politics; and group economics, no longer feasible with the separation of church and state, disappeared as competitive individualism was embraced."(Arrington and Bitton 251).
		Latter-day Saints also contribute a lot of money to their church, for instance in the form of tithes they donate ten percent of their income.

	Do Latter-day Saints Belong to a Cult? Issues of the Trinity, the Bible, Jesus Christ, God, and Modern Christianity
		Polygamy: Plural marriages were practiced by some early Latter-day Saints and were encouraged by the Church for a period of time in the nineteenth century (from about 1840 to 1890), so Latter-day Saints are said to be a cult for having once had such an abhorrent practice.
		Latter-day Saints are routinely said to be a cult for not accepting some doctrines from the Nicene Creed, the Athanasian Creed (or click here), and other creeds from the fourth century and beyond (e.g., the Westminster Confession of Faith from 1646, used by Presbyterians).
		Indeed, the marriage was performed by Philip's Lutheran chaplain and in the presence of Luther's chief lieutenants, Philip Melanchthon and Martin Bucer.

		After much consideration, Woodruff realized that the choice was between continuing plural marriage and thereby losing the temples and stopping all the ordinances therein, or ceasing plural marriage in order to continue performing essential ordinances for the living and the dead.
		President Woodruff explained that he acted under the Lord's direction in ending plural marriage, and had God not revealed this to him he would have let the temples be taken and let himself and every other Latter-day Saint man go to prison.
		A limited number of unauthorized plural marriages were performed over the next several years until the First Presidency, in 1904, issued a second manifesto that emphatically prohibited plural marriage and proclaimed that offenders would be subject to Church discipline, including excommunication.

		In the cultural model of church standards, marriage is a temple ordinance that seals a husband and wife to each other for time and eternity under priesthood authority.
		Should a couple who have married civilly have children and later enter upon temple marriage, then children born before the temple marriage may be sealed to their parents as a way of binding them into the covenant of their parents' marriage.
		Because of earlier plural marriage practices, the continuing hold of the plural marriage doctrine, the role of patriarchy, and the implications of divorce (and remarriage) for kinship connections, temple divorce is an area of church regulations that is hedged about in a number of ways.

	Book Review-In Sacred Loneliness: the plural wives of Joseph Smith by Todd Compton (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The case of Joseph’s marriage to 17-year-old Sarah Ann Whitney exemplifies both the extreme secrecy that surrounded early polygamy and Compton’s skillful use of the historical record to reconstruct the events.
		It is clear these women took their marriages to Joseph very seriously, and understandably so, since Joseph had made it clear that not only in some cases was his life at stake, but that in other cases, marriage to him would guarantee her salvation, and also the salvation of her parents (p.
		It is interesting that Compton seems compelled to provide a sociological reason for Joseph’s plural marriages whether it be levirate (marrying a brother's spouse to carry on the family name for him), or dynastic (marrying for the sake of creating or strengthening ties between families) when Joseph repeatedly gave his motivation as theological.

	Do Latter-day Saints Believe in the Bible and Biblical Christianity?
		Latter-day Saints believe in and strive to live according to the same religion that existed in the church established two thousand years ago by Jesus Christ.

		Even plural marriage (see DandC 132) and the sharing of property in a united order, which were practiced at one time in Mormon history as instructed by God (see DandC 42; 51; 83; 104), find obvious parallels in the Bible (see Genesis 16:1-3; Deuteronomy 21:15; Acts 2:44).

		Born to the second wife of a Danish Latter-day Saint (LDS; see also Mormon) who practiced Plural Marriage in Idaho Territory, Gutzon Borglum was raised in California and trained in Paris, at the Académie Julian, where he came to know Auguste Rodin and was influenced by Rodin's dynamic impressionistic light-catching surfaces.
		Lee's head was unveiled on Lee's birth day January 19, 1924, to a large crowd, but soon thereafter Borglum was increasingly at odds with the officials of the Association.
		At Stone Mountain he developed sympathetic connections with the reorganized Ku Klux Klan, who were major financial backers for the monument, but his domineering, perfectionist, irascible, authoritarian manner brought tensions to such a point that in March 1925 Borglum smashed his clay and plaster models and exited Georgia permanently.

		William Clayton is best remembered today for his hymns, especially "Come, Come Ye Saints." But as one of the earliest Latter-day Saint scribes, he made intellectual as well as artistic contributions to his church, and his records have been silently incorporated into official Mormon scripture and history.
		He testifies of people speaking in tongues and of others "almost speaking in tongues." When introduced to plural marriage, he was reluctant but eventually became one of its most enthusiastic proponents, marrying ten women and fathering forty-two children.
		He caught his first plural wife rendezvousing with her former fiancé; later, when she became pregnant, her mother--his unaware mother-in-law--was so overwrought that she attempted suicide.
