Mittens wrote:Kinda Strange since I have Mormons defending animal sacrifice in the temple :question:
When GOD said all things shall be restored He means all things and not what Christians shall say. There is no need to find this stuff in the Book of Mormon because in this case the Bible is sufficient.
The Lord by the prophet Isaiah had this to say....concerning our day. In the day that the Lord will gather the outcast of Israel and others to them.
Isaiah 56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
Feasts shall also be restored...and for all the people of the earth...they will at least have to attend the feast of the tabernacle...or they shall have plagues of Egypt whether it is a family a people or a nation. It does not matter if the people say we do not believe...they will if they survive the plagues of Egypt that GOD will send them. For it is written every man shall bow the knee...whether he is a muslims and do not believe in Jesus ...he will have to comply or die by the plagues of Egypt.
Zechariah 14:15 - And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ***, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague. Zechariah 14:16 - And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. Zechariah 14:17 - And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of [all] the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. Zechariah 14:18 - And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. Zechariah 14:19 - This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
In this post I have shown a few things that shall be restored along with the Temple...All things shall be restored...but no one here or the LDS say that animal Sacrifices shall be for the whole of the Millennium. When those things are restored...It may be for a very short period of times or just once. Maybe what J. Smith did it was sufficient to fulfill the restitution of all things concerning animal sacrifices.
The thing is, GOD is in Charge and the prophecy given to us..concerning the Restitution of all things means all things not just what Christians shall say to GOD need restoring. It may be in some things....doing it only once is enough to fulfill the condition of GOD.

bert10 is devote Mormon here defending it. You yourself defends the teaching while denying it. Very strange
I think most/many LDS believe this. I was certainly taught that animal sacrifice would be restored.

sub, like you I have no idea what Mittens is on about. It is prophesied that during the Millenium one final offering will be made by the sons of Levi at the temple. However, Mormons do not practice animal sacrifice now and such an offering will only be done when God returns and requires such a thing.

It is interesting to note that even though the Mormon church teaches animal sacrifice after the death of Christ, they cannot find any support for this doctrine in the Book of Mormon. In fact, the Book of Mormon condemns it in the strongest terms. In 3 Nephi 9:19 Jesus was supposed to have said: "And ye shall offer up unto me no more the shedding of blood; yea, your sacrifices and your burnt offerings shall be done away, for I will accept none of your sacrifices and your burnt offerings."
Jesus was probably speaking as a man when he said this. Especially since it contradicts the Bible.

To fulfill prophesy.

What prophecy
Malachi 3 1 “Behold, I send My messenger, And he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, Will suddenly come to His temple, Even the Messenger of the covenant, In whom you delight. Behold, He is coming,” Says the Lord of hosts. 2 “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire And like launderers’ soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the Lord An offering in righteousness.
Malachi says a sacrifice of righteusness not animal or blood so what prophecy are you talking about ?
Justice = Getting what you deserve Mercy = Not getting what you deserve Grace = Getting what you can never deserve
D&C 13: 1 Upon you my fellow servants, in the name of Messiah I confer the Priesthood of Aaron, which holds the keys of the ministering of angels, and of the gospel of repentance, and of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of Levi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in righteousness.
Also see Ezekiel 40-48

There is no purpose in fulfilling prophesy purely for the sake of prophesy (Biblical prophesy). So, I repeat, what would the purpose of such a sacrifice be since Christ offered himself as the sacrifice to end all sacrifice for all sin?

First, who said it made sense?
Second, Christ's offer goes against the Torah.
