thank you, very informative, made it a bit clearer to me. So the original plates are still buried somewhere in mesoamerica then? Moroni only took with him the abridgements he and his father had made?
-
I' m a bit confused, It says that Mormon buried the plates in hill cumorah around 385 AD? Were those the "original" plates he abridged from? Then Moroni also says he hid plates between 400 and 421 AD, many years after the battle? Had he taken them out from Hill cumora and then written some more and then then put them back in the hill? Does it ever say that Moroni also buried them in the hill cumoarh? It only says that Mormon did, right?

Ok thanks for all your answers everyone!

Thanks Jason J, very informative, i think i finally am starting to understand how it works :) So is it never awkward for you or them to be in the same room? Like, those ceremonies maybe are a "private" thing and they don't want strangers around? You can just walk in to rooms where they are doing those stuff? Come and go as you please in all rooms?

Hello, does the Church have any "official" standpoint on when the apostasy happened? I get the impression many LDS think it happened very early, as soon as all the apostles had died? But didnt they pass the teachings on to any worthy new disciples of their own? Did it really end so soon?? Other say it was in the 4th century AD when Christianity became official state religion of the roman empire, first council of Nicea, etc?

Oh, so you can pray privately in the other ordinance rooms too? Or is celestial the most common to pray in? Sorry i'm not LDS, (but i am curious), but i have very hard to grasp exactly how things work in the temple, maybe it's obvious for you but not for me, and i get so different answers depending on who i ask... i got the impression from dravins answer that the celstial room is where everybody prays? and that the other rooms were for stages in the rituals?
-
Ah i see, thank you, so there is no conflict there then. What about the other ordinance rooms, they are not meant for private prayers? Only for different stages of the ceremonies?
-
Ok, but if the celestial room is both where the ceremonies end and where people go to pray - dont they disturb eachother? People in robes perfoming ceremonies and peoploe praying privately dont seem to be a good mix? how does it work?
-
so in what rooms are the ceremonies taking place? do you mean the celestial room is just for private prayers?
-
i understand you can also go to a temple just to pray or feel the presence of God? Are there separate rooms for private praying and pondering, and for all the different ceremonies, so these two groups dont "disturb" each other? i see on many temples homepages that there is endowment ceremonies all the time, every day, so when and where do people go to pray in private?
