The Endowment Ceremony
The endowment ceremony is by far the most lengthy of the LDS temple rituals. The ceremony is a reenactment of the Mormon version of the creation of the world and the fall of humanity. In times past it was acted out as a play. With the advent of technology most temples show the ceremony on video tape.
The reader will note that we have posted four versions of the endowment ceremony on our site. A visible comparison is made between the 1984 and 1990 versions only. Other comparisons to the 1879 and 1931 version can be made by the reader at their leisure.
The changes made to the endowment ceremony in 1990 are discussed as are the differences between the endowment ceremony and the teachings of the Bible. For more information we recommend reading Evolution of the Mormon Temple Ceremony: 1842-1990 by Jerald and Sandra Tanner. Copies of this revealing work can be purchased by clicking on the link above.

"Jesus' blood on the altar was the ultimate payment. He made us worthy permanently. When Jesus died on the cross the veil covering the Holy of Holies tore in half. The mercy seat lay exposed to mankind. There is no veil, anymore, between God and man. Jesus ripped it down. But Mormonism has hung up a new one." -Kathleen Baldwin
To the questioning Mormon. God loves you and has a
wonderful plan for your life. Visit Testimonies Turned to Christ at
the top of this section to understand that you're not alone.
"It
wasn’t until one day that when I was flat on my back for days, and crying
out to Him, that I realized how all along He had been trying to get my
attention, and the only way to get it was to make me stop dead in my tracks,
flat on my back, and focus on Him and what it was that He was trying to tell
me all along. In
James 4:8 (a) we read: 'Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.' In
James 4:10 we read: 'Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will
lift you up.'" He Gave You Jesus
- by Justjo "Counterfeit, fake, bogus,
imitation, forgery, fraud, copy.... We all recognize these words, as well as
understand their meaning. There are many counterfeits out there. If they were
easy to detect, they would not be called counterfeits. God gave us these
wonderful books in the Bible to test these counterfeits. This is where we find
our markers to detect them. The Holy Spirit does not contradict Gods word...."
