Not a lot of time, but let me quickly respond to this...
 
**I don't have a lot of time either, expecting company but
don't think I can agree with you on this one.
 
The Mormons represent that this Temple is the Father's house.  Is that
right Dave?  Correct me if I am wrong.  Therefore, I think the analogy
is right.  This is not a "pagan temple."  (Have I got this right Dave?
Your temple is not pagan, right?).
 
**But those walking in the light know that it is not the Father's House
First because God no longer put's his name on buildings, His house
is the body of Christ, living stones, a human temple.
 
Remember that Jesus said that the father of the Pharisees was the devil.
I think the situation here is very similar to the Mormon one.  The
Temple is to Father God, but the leadership follow the devil.
 
**He said that only because of their behavior and their spiritual
blindness. He also told the people to listen to what they said because
they sat in Moses seat - but not to follow their example as to deeds
so I don't see a similarity here.
 
The Bible does not tell us, but maybe Jesus even got jailed for doing
this kind of thing.  It would make the crucifixion seem more plausible
in that the justice system doesn't usually kill someone who doesn't have
some kind of jail record already.
 
**I doubt it - the reason the thief was saved on the cross was because
he knew Jesus was innocent and had done nothing wrong. If he had
been in prison ppl would have known it.  Our justice system may not
be perfect but it is for everyone's benefit and is God ordained.
 
Grace and Peace,
Judy
