As you know, I believe that apostles and prophets are part of the body of
Christ today, but temples are another issue entirely. I believe that
temples are idolatrous. The temple of God now is our body, and to build
temples to God amounts to what they did when they built the tower of
Babel. God is against it.
What is the basis for the Mormon practice of building temples?
Are there some Mormon Scriptures you can point me to that encourage this
practice? Is there anything in the Bible that encourages you in this
practice?
Peace be with you.
