MaMeeshkaMow Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Posted December 15, 2011 I didn't know that Traveler. That's cool to know. I know that the sacrament is important and I agree it shouldn't be replaced (I was just contemplating a hierarchy of covenants).... I almost got to the opinion that temple covenants were more sacred/important than baptismal/sacrament ones but I thought of something. Let me back up a little. I was almost leaning towards that thought when I thought of how helping others (like doing baptisms for the dead) in the acts of charity outweigh acts for oneself (renewing one's baptismal covenants)...but then I thought you need to always take care of yourself before you are able to help others. In other words, working on one's spiritual health is a good stepping stone to helping others (like for the dead)...I really like the sequential concept of covenants.... Quote
beefche Posted December 15, 2011 Report Posted December 15, 2011 Elder Holland stated that the sacrament is one of the most holy ordinances done because it involves directly the Atonement. Think about what the sacrament represents. That is a holy and sacred ordinance considering that it is a direct reminder of the atonement. And to think that we participate in that each week at church and not in the temple! Quote
