Not if you believe what Joseph Smith taught in the King Follet Discourse. He taught very plainly that those who die as babies will be babies in body while ruling as Gods. He is pretty clear on it in his talk. He didn't say they would come out mature and looking 28 years old or 35 or whatever but that they would be resurrected and reign as Gods in the same body they had when they died.

Somehow LDSinc sees fit to leave this part of his talk out of what they publish for members today.

"You seriously expect that the LDS do not think they already had the equivalent of temple ordinances done when they were alive?"

---------------------------

You either have the Temple work don... or you Don't! LDS teachings are very clear. All who accept the Gospel must have it done if they are to know the secret codes and stuff to pass the quiz at the gate. Otherwise, piss in the weeds out behind the bait shack.

Nehor, do you think Mary the Mother of Jesus learned the name of the 2nd token of the Melchizedek Priesthood at the five points of fellowship, through the veil? Do you imagine she felt uncomfortable pantomiming her own death as she promised to keep it all secret, I mean sacred?

Somehow it's insanely difficult for me to project 19th Century Masonic rip-off ritual back 1800 years to the original Bible characters.

I guess you have no trouble with this kind of gymnastics. Good luck with that.

Wait, you think the temple ordinances are unchanging throughout all time? LOL

I might repent of all the critical things that I have said about the Morg, if I could be baptised for Donald Duck or Goofy.

To suggest otherwise would imply that the fullness of the gospel was not on the earth during Jesus' time. And if not, then what did Joseph Smith restore, anyway?

This is what I learned in my temple preparation class.

However, given the changes thus far, and that the changes made the ceremony far less dramatic and offensive after each change, I can only imagine how grisly and gruesome it had to be back when Mary got her new name...
