I could see it from my grandparents house on Edwards Ave, right off 580 too. Good memories.

I hope you guys can someday spend some time inside. It is wonderful

It's a temple. The church buildings for Sunday and weekdays are different.

When you have a chance you should go see the grounds. They are truly wonderful.

That's a bit of a Bigotry thing to say.

Michael Douglas Skewes loved the tinkling chandelier.

I grew up in the Bay Area and I have to say this is my favorite Temple. I have moved away, but I was always captivated by the temple’s beauty and I always looked for it when I would be in the area. I took the Temple grounds tour several times and I loved the feeling of The Spirit while I was there. I joined the church when I was 18 and later got to attend the Temple many times. I love the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints with all my heart and now know why I was always drawn to the Temple. I also absolutely love how the chandelier in the Celestial room makes tinkling sounds from the air conditioning, it’s such a heavenly sound. 🥰

Secret garments, secret names, secret handshakes. You all don’t believe the Trinity god in 3 persons. One person not 3 separate figures. Love u

Amen

sacramento is also beautiful

The Provo Temple, that used to be the Tabernacle, is an achievement, I have never seen before! What an amazingly beautiful Temple it is!🌷🌻🌷Watch the making if it on KZfaq it is totally amazing !

And they only have to wash the poop of the sidewalk twice a week!

KevlarX2 yeah they look like cinderella castles so opulent and rich, there’s really nothing else like it as far as greatness and spaciousness since colonialism. They are truly beautiful and are something to be proud about it.

Lol

Isai Limon plan where you want your life to be 3 years from now and live today to make that plan reality. All the best. You

Jud Ann Milehigh Wow! The temples are very precisely constructed!!

Yippee, my family also promised the "oath of vengence" and to give everything to the church so their bowels would not be ripped out!

Deb Delves lol what

Jake, you should read about the Oath of Vengeance and the temple endowment of oaths, promises and hand gestures of how your life will be taken if promises are not kept.

Deb Delves are these books sanctioned by the church?

Read LDS history. I hv a Seminary book from 1969 in which you would not recognize as teachings from today. What happened in the temple in the 80's and before is easy to find out. You really do not know about how your life will be taken if you don't keep all the promises you made in the temple? Many changes have been made because those promises are so Masonic and evil. I used to hv to obey my husband!.... not any more...veil my face? .... not anymore. The Bible tells us what it takes to be saved. We are saved by Grace and Faith in Jesus Christ and nothing more is needed...especially not a $3,000 fake flower adornment nor crystal chandeliers! Jesus taught the downtrodden, poor and lowly without all the crazy pomp.

Can you smoke weed on the balcony area, since weed is legal now.

@@shakeemounwanda1720 lol wth is wrong with you

Then come and see it! The temple is open to the public for two weeks beginning on 11 May through 1 June 2019. It's a wonderful experience!

I might see it after it is dedicated, That's Awesome, Yes, Every temple is so amazing :)

Faith to Act My oldest daughter also served in Sacramento (Stockton) Spanish speaking from December 2001- July 2003.

@@helenjohnson7583 Yes I recall a Sister Johnson that spoke Spanish :) She may remember me as well.

Thank you!

@Veronica McClure That’s bizarre. I would imagine someone would hear a, ‘sell it and feed some of the thousands of children that die every day of starvation related illnesses’.

@Activator Don Does my question make you feel uncomfortable? Maybe I should ask about the $2B shopping centre built in Salt Lake City by the church. Of course not from the tithings right? Just the hard working businesses owned by the church? Sounds like something Jesus would be super proud of. A few fresh water wells in villages of starving families would be such a waste. Wait. I can hear your smooth brain, ‘b b b b but if the shopping centre does well financially, then we can do more for starving children’. The church gives less than 1% to charity and trades in over $32B on the stock market. It has been confirmed that the church has only given $1.2B to charity over 30 years. It has had consistent growth in revenue since 1991 when it received $4.7B in donations that year, to $33B in 2010 from donations and $15B from other business ventures. Do you think that if a church member was asked, ‘would you rather we give the $8,000 for this set of good door handles, to starving children and maybe have good quality gold coloured door handles that cost $400’? That church members would say, ‘no, we need that money spent in our beautiful temples, so we can feel that slice of heaven while we spend 1% or less on charity’? I highly doubt it. I think a little more highly of my Mormon friends. Mormon church members are amazing people mostly and based on the figures, you are finding a corporation that does not have charity work and helping others at the forefront. Not by a long stretch. Other religions give up to 80% to charity. Speaking of the $2B shopping centre, I may be wrong. It may have been built for all the homeless and vulnerable and unfortunate and least among the community as Christ would have done, had he lived in this era. A pair of religion jeans costs $200 in one of the stores in that shopping centre. How ironic. I’m sure the so said ‘Christ’ would be turning in his tomb if he saw the financial hypocrisy down by a church that uses his name. www.nytimes.com/1991/07/02/us/income-of-mormon-church-is-put-at-4.7-billion-a-year.html www.scribd.com/document/380562519/2017-12-31-Thirteen-LLC-Investment-Summary www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.deseretnews.com/article/865657898/LDS-Church-welfare-humanitarian-efforts-average-40-million-per-year-apostle-says.amp www.sltrib.com/religion/local/2017/10/14/historian-digs-into-the-hidden-world-of-mormon-finances-shows-how-church-went-from-losing-money-to-making-money-lots-of-it/ www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/humanitarian-aid-welfare-services-breakdown-donations-costs-resources www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.worldreligionnews.com/religion-news/lds-church-has-spent-1-2-billion-on-welfare-and-humanitarian-efforts/amp/ planphilly.com/uploads/media_items/http-planphilly-com-sites-planphilly-com-files-cnaan_lds_giving-pdf.original.pdf www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2012-07-18/how-the-mormons-make-money Do you really think a true disciple of Christ’s teachings, needs this mishandling of finances to opulence over practicality? You know you could build 10 commercial standard beautiful temples for the price of one right? That’s if you went with stainless steel over gold plated. That’s if temple things are so important. Perhaps there are other reasons behind such frivolous use of funds. I’m still ‘trolling’?

Come for a visit, Leon. Always welcome!

There are very airy sky lights in the design

Many temples, such as the San Diego and the Newport Beach California Temples, have large windows in their Celestial Rooms facing toward the sun at midday, so that the beauty of natural light will enter the room, shining onto chandeliers and other decorative aspects of the room. The brightness of the gentle, naturally sparkling sunlight in the Celestial Room adds a beauty and stillness and peacefulness to the experience of just sitting and pondering in the quietness of the room. The serenity one feels in the Temples cannot be duplicated anywhere else. The only reason I can think of that some temples appear to not have many windows might be because they are usually constructed of stone, typically granite, and some are constructed of large slabs, where putting in a window would not be practical. However, even though they have stone facings, many of the newer temples incorporate many large windows in their design. Since there are now many temples being constructed around the world each year, I suggest that you go to the Church’s website, churchofjesuschrist.org and look for the tab that takes you to the list of all of temples around the world, and find the newer ones, and you will most likely notice that the newer ones usually have many windows. 😊

It starts May 10 till beginning of June.

Going on now for a few more weeks.

Mormon’s greatly believe. He is our Savior.

I used to smoke weed on the part upstairs. It was a beautiful thing.

These Temples are not built by hands, but by commandment and revelation from God.

Terry Stewart Revelation from what god? Where in the Bible is it foretold that the Saints would build temples? So many different religions build temples. Do you think the Living God of creation would cause this confusion? 1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. What makes this temple any different? Is It because a man claimed he was a prophet? Where in the Bible is it foretold that we would have 1 prophet as head of the church? I’ll tell you what is foretold. Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; Matthew 7:15 - Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matthew 24:24 - For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Romans 16:18 - For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. Mark 7:6-9 - He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. So much warning yet the Bible says they will follow these prophets. Where is it foretold that the church would be lost and restored? Psalms 145:4 - One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. Psalms 100:5 - For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Is The Living God a liar? Galatians 1:8-9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. God knew these times would come. And gave us His Word to protect us. This is revelation and prophecy from the Living God happening right now.

Jared Williams You've obviously made a good point and backed it up by quoting scripture, or should I say partial scripture. Were warned of false Christs and wolves in sheeps clothing but you didn't mention anything about by their fruits ye shall know them. Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord will do nothing but he revealeth his secrets to his servants the prophets. Or Isaiah's vision of the latter days when the mountain of the Lords house shall be built in the tops of the mountains and all nations shall flow unto it. You need to study the entire bible so you don't come up with "Another gospel"

J & D Robinson I love the Gospel. This world is truly a difficult place to deal with. It is what it is.

Hey Helen - the world doesn’t have to be a scary place like the church teaches. There is so much to learn and experience and good people in the church and especially outside the church. Best wishes!

BIGOT

Ummm, OK. Not sure what this bigot reply means, but one of the reason why my family and I resigned from the church was it’s history toward women, African Americans and LGBTQ people. Polygamy was human trafficking women from Europe. Ellis Island even has an exhibit talking about stopping the Mormon missionaries from bring women to America for servitude in polygamy. I can send you a picture of the exhibit!

J & D Robinson No worries! The person who commented “BIGOT” is trolling.

"Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born of the water [baptism by water] and of the Spirit [baptism by the Holy Ghost], he cannot enter the kingdom of God." John 3:5 "Teach all nations, baptizing them in the name...." Matthew 28:19 "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved." Mark 16:16 "But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him." Luke 7:30 "Repent and be baptized, every one of you." Acts 2:38 "Be baptized and wash away thy sins." Acts 22:16 "The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us...." 1 Peter 3:21

No it isn't

Why dont you ask the divine if there is something else you can do to commune with it?

@@esmeraldagreen1992 Because in the middle of the nature is the divine itself , and preserving it is to commune with goodnes ❤🌸🌹🌿🙏

@CaptainRidley yes dear

@CaptainRidleySaid : "Do anothers no harm , dear , never".

@CaptainRidley Its all about oil gas natural resources. . .

The Church of Jesus Christ does NOT worship the cross, an instrument of excruciating torture that we do not feel is holy. We worship the Risen Christ.

The symbol for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is the living Christ, and in the faithfulness of it's members in loving God with all our hearts, and loving our neighbors as ourselves.

The LDS church donates millions of dollars every year to feed the hungry and alleviate suffering ANYWHERE in the world. They donate food, clothing, medicine, building materials, wheelchairs, volunteer labor ("Helping Hands"), volunteer medical care, and other services, like drilling wells for people in Africa and other disadvantaged nations and peoples, building dwellings and donating building materials. Whenever there's a catastrophe ANYWHERE in the world, the LDS church is usually the first on-site with food, clothing, medicine, etc. The church's welfare system is SECOND TO NONE! Every Stake Center (an authority over several wards, or congregations) in the church has what's called a "Bishop's Storehouse" where food, clothing, furniture, etc. are given to the poor and destitute. In addition, the church sponsors NUMEROUS programs to help people become self-reliant. In one year alone (I think it was 2012), the church's donations topped a billion dollars. What more do you want? What do YOU do to alleviate suffering around the world?
