Utah Temples: A Conference Special preview

As General Conference weekend approaches, Latter-day Saints look forward to the announcement of new temples somewhere in the world. In recent years, that has included temples in Utah. There will soon be a surprising number in the state, which is the focus of a Conference Special from Carole Mikita who brings us this preview.

Love it! Proud to be a member of this great Church. Those who don’t like it and comment, clearly have lots of time on your hands to keep up with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

[@american236]

It’s absolutely incredible. Never have I ever thought there would be a temple in Layton and Syracuse right next to each other or Taylorsville or Orem I mean that’s just unheard of.

[@CalledtoShare]

28 temples in Utah? Nice.

[@bensonjarvis5025]

Called to serve it a been a long time

[@wanaluburr3599]

I hope we will have some in the middle of Utah. We have an hours drive to the closest. I have been driving 2 hours to Payson every week to attend the temple. I love the temples and love being there.

[@congwang5291]

I work at manhattan new york temple for a long time, i love to do the temple work, each temples so blessed our life, is more easy to receive the personal revelations at temple, and temple is house of the lord, fullfill with his holy spirit, may god blessed utah have more temples

We haven't had a temple announced in Utah in 4 conferences. You never know, but after this summer there are still six temples that aren't finished.

[@Telavian]

Can you show me where God asked for these temples? Can you show me where God accepted these temples?

[@braydenweese1407]

Doctrine and Covenants

[@Telavian]

@@braydenweese1407 Can you be more specific?

[@braydenweese1407]

@@Telavian In the Bible there are multiple accounts of temples (or altars built on a mountain) dedicated to God and where prophets have spoken to and receive revelation from Him. God restored those things through Joseph Smith. The LDS Church is built upon the Abrahamic faith. I think considering that Joseph Smith could have easily been another trinitarian is evidence enough to believe that he was indeed a prophet of God. He restored things in his lifetime that would have taken and in fact have taken 150-200 years to recover. Information that is crucial for our relationship with God. Doctrine and Covenants is pretty much a description of all those things and how they should be practiced and applied, in and outside of the temple.

[@Telavian]

@@braydenweese1407 You are equating things as if they are linked. Because there were temples in the OT then we can build as many as we want today? Why? Please point to a specific verse where it says God wants hundreds of temples and accepts each one.

[@braydenweese1407]

@@Telavian I would advise that you go and study these things for yourself. I’ve received my own witness that the prophet and apostles have been called of God and that they serve Him and His followers. I believe that you can as well. I think building temples throughout the entire world is one of the most inclusive things any Church can do. They take the Gospel where the believers are. We can’t expect people to make trips to America just to be endowed with heavenly power.

It has nothing to do with Ruby.

Interesting comment. I think you confuse the Church with a minority percentage of those who are members, but suffer from mental illness. That would be like me assuming all beekeepers are rude because of your comment above. I'm not going to paint with that wide a brush, and assume not all beekeepers are terrible.

[@andyg806]

Some of the most amusing comments are the ignorant/uneducated ones.

[@danielclingen34]

Ruby Frank’s and Jodi Hildebrandt and Lori Callie. Now Chad Daywell having his court date coming up. Not to mention the records of Joseph, Brigham, John, Wilford, Joseph F& their apostles& other leaders on child abuse. Or how Nelson and Dallin worked with republicans in az, Utah& Idaho, the Mormon corridor, to hide predators from being held accountable by the law. So sad.

[@user-oh9ew5jo2k]

”I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.“ ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬-‭9‬ ‭

@@bensonjarvis5025 the first amendment doesn't protect religion. The opposite. Government is to have nothing to do with religion. And it's directly a violation of our Constitution to provide any tax status or exemption to religion. The first amendment protects a person's right to believe whatever nonsense they like, but religion is an action, a grift for raising money and hatred for others. It's a business. Not protected.

[@gpenrod5221]

I take it you don't pay attention to the millions in service work the church not only donates but does itself. Besides, if you truly understood the purpose of the temples, you would never utter such criticism about temple building. Way too much and depth of meaning to even begin to describe. But you'll have to find those answers for yourself. And if you are still of the opinion that the church throws more interest to temple building vs. people building, not a whole lot I can do to convince you otherwise

[@markevans8262]

The Anti-Mos and Ex-Mos can't stand that the CJCLDS manages the Lord's sacred funds as well as if not better than most Fortune 100 companies. I am willing to give my money to the Lord to build his kingdom. I am also happy knowing we help those in need, which may often include the critics who like to snap at the ankles of the Church and its members. I wish the critics could sleep as well at night as I do. Their fixation on an organization they are not part of is interesting but, at the same time, concerning. A new hobby of some kind would be healthier for them. 😘

It's only $200 billion in US stocks, including 'sin stocks' such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, which make revenue by hosting porn (straight and gay). Essentially, when David Archuleta watches gay porn, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints makes revenue from that.

In the light of Ruby Frankie and her evilness, maybe trying to improve your damaged reputation? False religion!

[@thomasray]

The truth of the Book of Mormon does not hinge on the actions of any member. Ruby Frankie's evil actions do not change in any way how I feel about Jesus Christ, His gospel, or His church. Not because her actions were justifiable-- quite the opposite: I have faith that Jesus Christ can heal any wound, and that every unfair things in this life will be made right through Christ's atonement. Situations like this, which are happening constantly all around the world, will be made right through Jesus Christ. That's the only way I can see to handle the suffering in this life.
