Episode Description

Joseph Smith once taught ordinances "are not to be altered or changed." But how do we reconcile that with the fact that over the years temple ordinances have changed? In this episode, I sit down with Church historian, Dr. Jonathan Stapley, to clarify that issue and many specific changes to the temple ceremony, like the removal of the oath of vengeance and the penalties.
