The debates are endless, but this statement is so true. Obviously this RM forgot this or didn't know it to begin with. Whenever I come across things about the Temple that make me scratch my head, I always remember the Spirit that I have felt and I realize that when it is time for me to understand I will. But for now the Spirit let's me know that it is ok. Any concerns about the endowment that I have had, were always answered by the Holy Spirit immediately upon entering the Celestial room. The things of God are glorious indeed.
My eyes became wet with tears when I read your post. I hate the position of defending my faith! I know by the power of the Holy Spirit that I have been led here to this church. And I also know, when doubts appear, take a step back and ask for comfirmation -- I always receive it. It may be age (LOL) that has gotten me to the point of not needing to know all things now, but my faith does tell me that I will know all things in due time.

Another thought -- even though I hate defending my faith, it has made my testimony stronger -- and that's a good thing.
