New LDS temple planned for Peru

You don't understand the purposes of the temples built, so don't pretend to know better. The Church is concerned with the eternal welfare of humanity. There is no more important project that could be done.
Temple are built because they add class to a very scummy world. It's where the chosen meet. In the end you will see a blessed people rise to the top where others will waller in their misery.
For those who don't understand the sacred significance of having a temple in the midst of the people, I don't blame any of you for that ignorance.
We should all do more to help those in need. And honestly buiding temples help in the spiritual ways. Those who attend are more likely to devote more of their time, talents, and means to assisting those in need in both temporal and spiritual ways.
It is a plus and a blessing for everyone, members or not.
God bless the Peruvians. And God bless all of us to draw closer to the Lord during these perilous times.
And in our posts let us focus on the positive, speaking to those not of our faith.
We need to ignore the anger of those who don't understand. How much sense would other cultures have seen in the building of the Tabernacle in the Wilderness by Moses and Israel? They were in a difficult situation and it seems like other priorities should have prevailed. Yet that Tabernacle blessed the lives of the Israelites spiritually and also brought protection and stability to help calm a troubled time. To explain the details of how that happens here would be casting pearls, which means, it would neither be appreciated by antagonists, nor would they seek understanding. If intelligent men like the pharisees could denigrate the Lord, think what an easy target we make so maybe we should only discuss these things with people who are open to it.
The temply has a different purpose. That is to raise those who enter and make covenants there to a higher level. Since the LDS church through the temples provides ordinances for eternal salvation and whether some like to hear this or not, is the only church aurthorized by God to do those ordinances; a temple in their midst is necessary.
This life is not the only one.
To those who don't share our belief in that regard I give my sympathy but not much else.
It will likey take the next life to show you the importance of the temples. Looks like you have no ability in this life to comprehend
NO SABEN LA FGRAN FELICIDAD QUE SIENTO AL SABER QUE AUN SOMOS MERECEDORES DE LAS BENDICIONES DE NUESTRO SE�OR ,QUE EL SE�OR SIGA BEDNCIENDO LAS VIDAS DE MUCHIS SANTOS AQUI EN PERU!!!!!!!!!!!
The fact of the matter is that building the temple creates more jobs for people in the area. With a poverty rate above 50% the citizens of La Libertad region where Trujillo is will probably be extatic over the thought that a legitimate building project is happening that will create jobs.
To GO UTES: I always think it is so sad when someone lives his/her life on a level that makes it impossible for him/her to understand anything higher.
Of course, I realize that many of these comments come from people who have left the Church and are spending all their time trying to justify what they have done. It must really wear them out. If it turns out the Church is true after all, they have made a terrible mistake. So, they have to work overtime trying to convince themselves and others that it's not.
It's very sad. I feel really sorry for you.
To SDH: 48-24...quest for perfection???
Casting our pearls before swine is the best phrase I can think of on this issue.
There are other things that I have wished to say, but I do not want to have the things I hold sacred mocked and reviled any extra because I opened my mouth to people who I knew where just waiting to find fault with my remarks.
You have insulted thousands of people with you remarks who value being able to go to the house of the Lord more than you ever have.
I am going to go write a story of caring and compassion for my nephew so that he will know to find joy in the blessings of the Lord unto the children of men.
I just love President Faust's story about the need to sacrifice for temple building. He told how members in Argentina found ways to donate during the construction of the S�o Paulo Brazil Temple. They gave the gold from their dental work to help pay for the temple. He said that he even purchased some of the gold fillings for more than the market price.
That's such a moving story.
