Se afirma que las ordenanzas del templo LDS fueron hechas por Joseph Smith o tomadas prestadas por él, de una fuente terrenal. Sin embargo, hay muchas declaraciones de la Iglesia y sus líderes que indican que las ordenanzas del templo fueron reveladas por el Señor y restauradas desde la antigüedad.
Esta colección de citas se ha dividido en dos secciones. La primera sección consiste en declaraciones del sitio web oficial de la Iglesia SUD que indican que las ordenanzas del templo fueron "reveladas" por el Señor y "restauradas" desde la antigüedad. La segunda sección consiste en declaraciones de las Escrituras y las Autoridades Generales de la Iglesia SUD.
“La investidura del templo fue dada por revelación. . . . Los templos, ordenanzas, convenios, dotaciones y sellos han sido restaurados, precisamente como se profetizó. . . . Una revisión del Antiguo Testamento y los libros de Moisés y Abraham en la Perla de Gran Precio pueden ser especialmente esclarecedores después de que uno esté más familiarizado con la dotación del templo. Estos libros de escritura antigua subrayan la antigüedad de la obra del templo y la naturaleza duradera de sus ordenanzas.”
“El Señor siempre ha ordenado a Su pueblo que construya templos. Él ha revelado el trabajo que debe hacerse en los templos. . . . El trabajo del templo en su plenitud ha sido restaurado en nuestros días a través del Profeta José Smith.”
“¿No es maravilloso ponderar cuánto aprendió el profeta José Smith durante todo el largo proceso de restaurar el santo apostolado, el santo sacerdocio, la santidad de dotación, el santo poder sellador?”
Presidente Harold B. Lee: "Las ceremonias del templo están diseñadas por un sabio Padre Celestial que nos las ha revelado en estos últimos días.”
“I commanded Moses that he should build a tabernacle, that they should bear it with them in the wilderness, and to build a house in the land of promise, that those ordinances might be revealed which had been hid . . . . let [the Nauvoo Temple] be built unto my name, that I may reveal mine ordinances therein unto my people.”
“God sitting upon his throne, revealing through the heavens the grand Key-words of the Priesthood.” “the grand Key-words of the Holy Priesthood, as revealed to Adam in the Garden of Eden, as also to Seth, Noah, Melchizedek, Abraham, and all to whom the Priesthood was revealed.”
“These [temple] ordinances have been revealed to us; we understand them, and unless we attend to them we shall fall under condemnation.”
“the Prophet Joseph . . . communicated that the Lord had revealed to him the keys of the endowment.”
“I think that portion of this revelation which I have read, will give you a general idea of the sacredness of the house of the Lord, which is to be built in the latter times, a place wherein the angels may come and visit, as they did in the ancient Temple; a place wherein you can receive all those ordinances which the Lord has revealed and which He will hereafter reveal from time to time.”
“When the [Kirtland] Temple was built, the Lord did not see proper to reveal all the ordinances of the endowments, such as we now understand. He revealed little by little.”
“We build temples. What for? To administer the ordinances of God. What ordinances? Those that God has revealed, and those that the world know nothing about.”
“Today we enjoy the great happiness of having . . . these sacred structures completed, dedicated to and accepted of the Lord, wherein the Saints can enter and attend to those ordinances which He, in His infinite goodness and kindness, has revealed.”
“In Kirtland, the brethren were not endowed with the same ordinances that are now bestowed upon the people, because they had not yet been revealed. It was in the days of Nauvoo that these blessings and ordinances of endowment were made known to the Prophet Joseph.”
“the pattern of endowment garments was revealed from heaven.”
“the endowment and the temple work as revealed by the Lord to the Prophet Joseph Smith.”
“The Ancient Order of the Endowment Revealed . . . . The ancient order of the endowment restored.” “He tried to impress upon the Saints the great responsibility which was upon them in having a house of the Lord where these sacred ordinances which had been revealed to him could be given to the Saints.”
“The temple ritual as revealed to Joseph Smith and communicated by him to his brethren is essentially symbolic. Its ordinances are not only ancient but also represent profound truths.”
“temple ordinances for the living and the dead were revealed to the Prophet Joseph Smith.”
“In 1836 Elijah came and restored the sealing power, the power to bind on earth and have it sealed eternally in the heavens (D&C 110:13-16; 132:45-47). At a still later date, temple endowments and other ordinances were revealed -- all of which are a necessary prelude to the performance of an eternal marriage.”
“The temple ceremony was given by a wise Heavenly Father . . . . The endowment was revealed by revelation.”
“the Prophet Joseph Smith . . . the endowment ceremony was given to him.” “It is the Lord's house. He directs the conditions under which it may be used. He has revealed the ordinances that should be performed therein.”
