: The point of Satan showing up is to demonstrate that once you know how to truly make a connection with God, Satan will try to intervene by impersonating God. You then have to be ready to detect and banish Satan. As for the five points of fellowship, it may be an anachronistic masonic practice, but I like it. I think it's a very genuine and warm gesture of brotherhood. Just because the Mormon Church appropriated it doesn't make it bad. I think it's too bad it was removed from the temple. However, I know some veil workers sometimes performed it awkwardly, particularly with women, and it made them uneasy.
Hi, I've posted a few times for info on masonry/temple. Thanks for all the responses folks. One more question??? Does anyone remember feeling confused after being taught the true order of prayer, the same prayer words that adam used when no other than SATAN himself showed up???? This always bugged me since day one. Also does anyone know where the 5 points of fellowship came from??? Talk about an unwanted & unprepared for intimate imposition from a stranger pretending to be god.
