When I went through the temple the first time the temple president explained that a covenant was a binding agreement and the endowment was us making a contract with the Lord. He honors his part of the contract if we honor ours. An endowment is an inheritance of assets. Covenants and endowments are legal terms and with legal contracts wording is very important.
So this eternal contract of endowment has had its wording regarding covenants changed. You change the terms of contract, you void the previous agreements. It’s not just to have people in the past agree to something and then have newer people agree to something else. This is not eternal. This is temporary and fluid.
For the endowment covenants to be eternal they cannot change. So the church just neutered their own concept of eternal agreements and promises. It’s just more proof it’s all bullshit. Eternal means NO CHANGE. I’m glad members love the new changes. Apparently they love the church proving nothing performed in the temple is eternal.
I don’t know about Jesus but Buddha said everything changes. I think the temple is more in line with Buddha than Christ.
