No, but it does seem rather odd that a place that represents God, and is supposedly dedicated to His worship, would be designed to make GOD seem a secondary thought...

No, the 666 is the number of the beast, or the man who presides over it, the pope. One of the old papal crowns had this inscription on it; "DCLXVI." Albion, don't even think about it. You're way over your head here. However, if you're ready to get beat up again, at least read my post on "Understanding Revelation 13 by the Spirit" first!

Do you try to be a walking parody of Mormonism?

Masonic and occultic symbols on the outside of Mormon temples, quasi masonic ritual inside which bears no resemblance whatsever to what went on in the temple of Israel.....let alone the very clear symbolism of the temple veil being ripped in two (Hebrews) indicating that even what what did go on in temples at the time of Christ was no longer necessary.

Very dumb again Albion!!! Christ cleansed the temple, Albion, and called it his Father's house! Here we go again! I give you the truth from the Bible, and you give me evangelical BS!!!

I hope they were eating meat in moderation and only at a time of famine or extreme cold...

You made a good point this time , Drifting. We do not follow that counsel as we should. That is one reason we have so much heart trouble, etc.

Are you aware that the LDS Church petitioned the SLC council in 1916 to erect a cross monument on Ensign Peak (sacred hill that had been identified as a "natural temple"), to honor the Mormon pioneers who were then quickly passing away? Why do you think that is? And why is Brigham Young's wife, Amelia Folsom Young, wearing the "Mark of the Beast" in the photo below?

And did you know that the "mark of the beast" (or rather, cross) was perceived by Spencer W. Kimball as a sign, confirming to his heart that he was indeed called by God to serve in the Quorum of the 12? Why do you think that is?

I'm confident that they didn't know any better, just as Peter didn't at first when he sided with the Jews who insisted that the gentiles be circumsized before baptism, until the Lord corrected him. I don't see any crosses now on the temples, etc., and if I ever do, I will petition the first presidency to tear it down.
