Veil Of Temple Rent In Twain

[journeyman]

Christians have never had "temples", as in buildings.

That's very funny.

I suggest you read chapter three of my forthcoming book: Solomon's Temple: Myth and History. In will be published by the reknown LDS vanity press Thames and Hudson in London, due (according to their schedule) on April 6, 2007 (with 200 illustrations). You are, quite simply, completely wrong in your claim.

I suspect the rending of the veil either represents the withdrawal of the kabod/glory of God from the Temple (as per Ezekiel), or the passing of Christ the new Great High Priest into the Holy of Holies to complete the Great Atonement (as per Hebrews). I lean towards the latter.

Bill, I am sure that this forthcoming book will be quite interesting and I might just read it. Albeit I feel the Bible is pretty clear on these matters but of course you don't see it that way.

By the way, are you a descendent of Jacob Hamblin? Just curious.

What Paul was inspired to write may be true.

How Paul's words have been translated, disseminated, and adulterated has caused the confusion.

Rely only on the Spirit not on any mans interpretations of scripture.

You must be Mormon to make such a comment. Actually, it has been pretty well proven that the Bible is darn accurate. Thousands of manuscripts have been found to verify this and there are many before the supposed tinkering by the Catholic guys.

Now, the Book of Mormon on the other hand only has one manuscript and we therefore only have that to compare against all the tinkerings that have occurred from that one until our day.

To say the Bible is not accurate is a rather uneducated statement. Further, to even say that the changes of the Book of Mormon are only grammar and punctuation is even more uneducated. I would truly question any Spirit that would say otherwise.

Please re-read, I did not say the bible was untrue. Nor Paul's words. But while I'm here. The letter killeth, the Spirit maketh alive.

And I am not Mormon. Take a breath and be still.

Things are pretty still here. I was hoping that this would pick up again.
