Hi Badass and Amyjo, you both touched on a point of the temple that caused me great cognitive dissonance as a TBM. Did Jesus do the secret handshakes, did he teach them to the apostles in secret? This was troubling to me, as a TBM, because of this passage in John’s Gospel—
19 The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
20 Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret.
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said."
http://esv.to/John18.19-21“I have never taught in secret...” then why did I, The Boner, do things in secret and take a vow of secrecy never to reveal what I did? Could it be that Jesus never taught the disciples the temple ceremony? Wait a minute...maybe there was no temple ceremony? But wait, Adam and Eve received their endownments and garments...didn’t ?Jesus give the Endowment to his apostles? What’s going on here?
