Re: The original 1840s temple endowment
But are the principles, if taught correctly, true? Yes.
And just because we don't have an official record from Joseph doesn't mean that he didn't do something with it.
I guess we'll just disagree and move off into our own little corners of thought.
I should also add, don't get so pigeon-holed that you don't recognize truth in other areas. If God wants to share truth, He often does it in unexpected ways. Otherwise, we fall into the same faulty logic as is condemned in the BoM: "A bible, a bible, we have a bible..."

I can see the distinction... In reality, they all mix and blend together in some fashion. Obedience, Sacrifice, Virtue, and Consecration are all part of the "gospel" to some degree.

And I said that if these principles were actually taught correctly, they are good. To which you disagreed.
I'm not trying to make you look bad. I think we should have a robust conversation (another thread maybe) about what actually constitutes the four core laws.
You'll never be able to convince me the temple endowment is any less than that.
What the Church has remaining today is a shadow of that magnificent restored ordinance under Joseph and Brigham.
And yes, the original under Joseph/Brigham is all scriptural.

"menny things are perfect"
Heber's writings are proof positive that he never read a single book in the BoM, Bible, or any book for that matter.
Wouldn't being an Apostle be encouragement enough to familiarize yourself with the word of God?
Menny are cald and foo are chosin.
