Elder McKay Explains Why the Church Purchased the Kirtland Temple
Some may wonder why The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would ever spend significant money on anything other than humanitarian aid. For example, why would the Church spend US$192.5 million to purchase the Kirtland Temple and other properties, documents and artifacts, as it did earlier this year?
To those people, the Church’s Historian and Recorder Elder Kyle S. McKay points to a specific date and place in the past: April 3, 1836, in Kirtland, Ohio. On that day, Jesus Christ gave significant priesthood keys to Joseph Smith.
Speaking to attendees at the annual 2024 Mormon History Association conference held this year near Kirtland on Thursday, June 13, 2024, Elder McKay said it is essential to understand the concepts of priesthood and priesthood keys. If one comprehends these, he said, one can better “appreciate the significance of what was restored” to the earth on that day in 1836.

    I love watching music and the spoken word because I feel like I want to be more Christ like as a result of watching this wonderful program! I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Christ's New Testament Church restored to the earth, and that this program is one of the many blessings as a result of Joseph Smith's first vision of God the Father and Christ his Son.

    I am proud to see the community coming together like This. I wish more businesses were able to do this but they don’t as they are “for profit” and throwing it away is in my opinion less of a liability as people will “sue” if “they”, get hurt by an item donated to them that “they” have installed or used wrong 😑, so it is business expense to throw them away and take the loss so that, “nothing” remains attached. Yet, when there are those willing to share it is wonderful to see.

    The problem is we still have Section 132, which sets forth “the principle and doctrine of their having many wives and concubines”. Until we denounce and remove this false “doctrine” we will have to answer to the accusations. Joseph gave us Section 101, the Law of Marriage (monogamy), it was replaced with 132 in 1880 with an abomination to the Lord (Jacob 2-3).

    I’m curious about this church. I noticed every man is in a suit & tie while women in lose fitting dresses. No tennis shoes, sandals, no jeans/shorts, no pants for women and no t-shirts. *So there’s a dress code huh?* Also, *is the service really 2 hours long?* …Do you sit down the whole time or move around the building talking with everyone? *Is there pressure to go up to the podium and address everyone of your just visiting?* I was invited to attend by two members but don’t need that pressure to be in the mic talking to the congregation, I’ve noticed some churches do that and I don’t think it’s the right approach when they single out visitors. Any Mormons in the comments to answer?

    Thank you. I agree. While the church does what it can to help those in need physically, its mission is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and the message of the ongoing restoration. This very much includes the visitation of the Savior and ancient prophets to restore key elements of the gospel to bring salvation to all of God's children.
