| Origins of Religious Belief? |
 |
The study of solar mythology (astrotheology)
indicates that saviour myths, including that of
Jesus Christ, had their origin in the heavens.
Ancient people looked up at the heavens, noted
patterns and regular movements of the sun, moon
and stars.
The height of the sun told them the time of day -
the phases of the moon told them the time of the
month - the position of the constellations in the
night sky told them the time of the year - useful
information if you want to know when to plant,
when to harvest, when to hunt, when to feast, when
to celebrate the re-birth of the sun in winter.
They made up fables as a way of passing on their
knowledge to future generations.
After thousands of years, these fables lost their
original meanings and instead came to be believed
as true accounts of the lives of past and present
supernatural beings/gods. This was encouraged by
the growing priesthood. More time passed and these
stories began to be incorporated into their
religious beliefs - sun gods, moon goddesses etc.
Stories circulated about some of these 'sun gods'
making themselves visible on earth - these were
the suns/sons of gods. The rest I leave to your
imagination...

NOTE: Slide reading Philippians 3:30 should read
Philippians 3:20
NOTE: John the Baptist slide text is misleading.
There is an explanation of what happened to John
further on in the Book of Mark, although this does
not affect our story. Thanks to those who pointed
this out.

| Mormons Belief: LDS (Mormon) Temples Will Dot the Earth |
 |
For the millions of people who lived before the
Restoration of Christ's Church, temple ordinances
were not available during their lifetime. Even
today, millions live and die without ever hearing
the name of Jesus Christ or without accepting the
gospel he taught. Provision must be made, then,
for those who have died without that opportunity.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
("Mormon Church") teaches that all saving
ordinances are to be performed on earth on behalf
of the dead. Latter-day Saints, also known as
Mormons, stand as proxies for their own ancestors
in these ceremonies, including baptisms and
sealings for husbands and wives and for parents
and children. All temple work is valid only if it
is willingly accepted by each individual prior to
the Resurrection. Performing temple ordinances
receives strong emphasis in the LDS (Mormon)
Church. Members of the Church, Mormons, are taught
that they have a religious obligation to trace
their own genealogies and perform temple
ordinances for their ancestors.
