| | Community of Christ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Based in Independence, Missouri, the faith shares its origins with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the LDS or Mormon Church). | | | Smith III and the church also were involved in the Temple Lot Suit, which eventually resulted in clearing the title to the original Independence temple lot for the smaller Latter Day Saint denomination, the Church of Christ (Temple Lot). | | | The Community of Christ, previously known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or RLDS church is a branch of Mormon Restorationism, and is the second largest denomination of the Latter Day Saint movement. |

| | Independence Temple - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Community of Christ's temple is built on the greater temple lot, as is the Auditorium, and a visitor center of the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the largest Latter Day Saint denomination. | | | The Independence Temple is a house of worship and education dedicated to "the pursuit of peace, reconciliation, and healing of the spirit". | | | The temple was built by Latter Day Saints of the Reorganization in response to a revelation presented to their 1984 World Conference by then church prophet-president Wallace B. Smith along with revelation given in prior years to prior prophet-presidents. |

| | Later, according to the Bible, the First Jewish Temple was built in Jerusalem by King Solomon. | | | According to the Gospels, Jesus preached and healed in Jerusalem, especially in the Temple courts. | | | However, when the Bishop invited him to pray in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, he refused, lest he create a precedent for its use as a mosque. |

| | Independence is also the site for the world headquarters for two splinter branches of the Mormon church as well as a visiting center for the LDS church headquartered in Utah. | | | We knew that Independence was the world headquarters for the Communion of Christ which until last year was known as the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. | | | In 1831 Joseph Smith came to Independence and declared that Independence was Zion or the place where Christ would declare his kingdom at the second coming. |

| | Church of Christ (Temple Lot) |
| | The church currently occupies a property in Independence, Missouri considered by Mormons to be the "Temple Lot" designated by Joseph Smith to be the site for the temple of the New Jerusalem, a sacred city to be built preparatory to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. | | | The Church of Christ (Temple Lot) is a sect of Mormonism headquartered in Independence, Missouri. | | | Thus the Church of Christ (Temple Lot) does not have a prophet and does not use the organizational unit of a First Presidency. |

| | Additionally, the last mention of a temple in Missouri is in verse 4, with the remaining 116 verses making no mention of it. | | | Verse 5 states that "this generation shall not all pass away until an house shall be built unto the Lord." The use of words "an house" indicate that the Lord is not necessarily referring to "the temple" mentioned in verse 4. | | | Through the length of a literal generation has occasionally been discussed by scholars and has been described as between 25 years to 120 years, in the larger sense, "generation" is often used to describe a gospel dispensation or era. |

| | Judas and his soldiers entered Jerusalem, cleansed the temple, and on the 25th of Chislev (December), three years to the day from the time Antiochus IV had desecrated the altar, reconsecrated the shrine and instituted worship services. | | | The temple stood until A.D. There are schools of theological interpretation that argue that these writings refer to that which is still to come. | | | Onias justified the Egyptian temple on the basis of Isaiah 19:19. |

| | BAPTISM FOR THE DEAD |
| | The Kirtland Temple and the churches of the Reorganization are open for all, members and nonmembers alike. | | | The Nauvoo temple also was to be used for preaching services, General Conferences, etc., and was not to be limited, as the Mormons now do in their temples for ordinances work, celestial marriage, sealings, endowments, and baptism for the dead. | | | On January 19, 1841, in a revelation dealing mainly with the temple and a proposed proclamation of the gospel, mention was made of the teaching of baptism for the dead. |

| | A couple of things happened during the tours of the Temple and the Auditorium which bothered me. First, the tour guide at the Temple talked considerably about the symbol of the Community of Christ, a stylized lion, child, and lamb with the word Peace; he said one of the themes of the church is peace. | | | The stone building is the Stone Church, the original Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and the white one is the Church of Christ (Temple Lot). | | | Smith said that this was where God wanted them to build a temple. |

| | Three decades ago, the temple was merely a small shack in a sacred grove owned by five families. | | | Then, slowly, it gained a reputation as a place where women, usually in their 40s, could come to twist and shriek, in the assumption that they are temporarily possessed by a male god named Pandi and must come to the temple every Tuesday and Friday for the next 10 weeks. | | | In traditional Hinduism, women are not permitted to offer puja (worship) in a temple's Holy of Holies -- but in this new demonination, only women do puja. |

| | Carol Hodges Hansen, The RLDS Christian? (A Discussion of the text by B. Mildred Smith) |
| | The 1832 prophecy of a temple to be built in “this generation” is judged to be false because, again, she has erroneously inserted the word “Independence” into the text. | | | It is distributed through such independent congregations as the Waldo or South Crysler Restoration branches of the church. | | | Hansen declares that the church could never have been taken from the earth because Jesus Christ is the foundation of it and Christ promised that the gates of hell could not prevail against it. |
