Apparently Rusty thinks that temples are going to solve all LDS Corps. problems.
See this as quoted from KSL.com:
"Spending more time in the temple builds faith. And your service and worship in the temple will help you to think celestial," said President Nelson, who has announced 153 new temples since 2018. "The temple is a place of revelation. There you are shown how to progress toward a celestial life. There you are drawn closer to the Savior and given greater access to His power. There you are guided in solving the problems in your life, even your most perplexing problems. The ordinances and covenants of the temple are of eternal significance," he said
My Dad is at 96, he says all kinds of interesting things. But one thing is sure, he is no longer the critical thinker that I knew. Which of course will happen to all of us who get that far. Dad is now emotion based, obviously, so is Rusty.
So if the temple is so darned important, and the celestial kingdsom, and without it we are just plain screwed. Then why did God take a few thousand years to provide something that was so imporatnt from day one? Kind of like Christ being born the day before the end of the world. I mean would not that be up there with the ten commandments.
Maybe Rusty while pulling up to the drive through window at McDonalds looked at Wendy and said. "I had a dream last night, and we need to be just like McDonalds and put a temple on every block of the world, and put signs outside that say 1 Billion baptized and celestialized."
My last comment pertains to my experiences. That I can recall the temple never solved my problems. Plus, I believe that the Q15 says they do not see God or Christ, but get impressions or inspiration. So in my book that is not revelation, because if we get revelation in the temple while inside, would we not be ahead of the curve on the Q15?
