One INC critic, Edson Robis Rase, known for his slow comprehension and poorly designed criticisms, copied a weak meme that he couldn't even defend, resulting in straw man and red herring fallacies. However, I'd like to help him improve his understanding of the biblical context of holy garments, which seems to be the main topic here. Let's begin -

He began by claiming the practice isn't biblical, implying it's cultic and ignoring the clothing worn in various religious contexts. Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that it is cultic. Then, let's examine the biblical passages he wants me to cite. During our conversation, I already made my point, but he arrogantly countered by stating Christianity was never about such practices. Edson Robis Rase, your arrogant display of biblical ignorance is evident.
Following this conversation, I will add the passages that conclude our discussion and reveal your biblical misconceptions, Edson Robis Rase

Edson Robis Rase: Why do you wear Garment of the Holy Priesthood, no such thing as Bible.
The Garment of the Holy Priesthood, often referred to simply as the "garment" holds significant meaning for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (you normally call it "Mormons" Edson Robis Rase), who have participated in temple ceremonies. The garment serves as a personal and sacred reminder of the covenants made with God in the temple.Edson Robis Rase: No Relevance and Biblical References.
Old Testament
In the Old Testament, garments were often associated with identity and covenants. For example, Exodus 28 describes the sacred garments worn by the priests in ancient Israel, symbolizing their office and duties. These garments were not only for physical covering but also served as a spiritual reminder of purity, devotion, and dedication to their service in the temple.

These garments were not only for physical covering but also served as a spiritual reminder of purity, devotion, and dedication to their service in the temple.
New Testament
In the New Testament, the concept of clothing oneself in Christ and maintaining spiritual readiness is emphasized. Ephesians 6:11 speaks about putting on the "whole armor of God," which includes spiritual protections akin to the symbolic protection the garments provide to Latter-day Saints. Additionally, Revelation 19:8 mentions fine linen, representing the righteous acts of the saints, symbolizing purity and commitment.
Importance of the Garment
The garment serves as a constant physical reminder of personal commitments to follow Christ, keep His commandments, and remain faithful to the covenants made. It is worn as a sign of devotion and a token of personal righteousness.
Moreover, wearing the garment is a private and personal choice, symbolizing the sacred relationships and promises made in the temple rather than any external display of faith. While the garments have adapted over time to fit practical needs and general fashion trends, their symbolic meaning remains unchanged.
Edson Robis Rase: Was you LDS Garments Magical?
The idea that garments are "magical" misunderstands their true purpose and meaning. In Latter-day Saint theology, garments are not seen as having magical properties. Instead, they are considered sacred and symbolic, serving as a reminder of the covenants made with God.The belief that garments provide physical protection is more about faith and spiritual symbolism than literal defensive power. There have been stories and personal experiences shared by some Latter-day Saints who feel that wearing the garment has provided them with protection in times of danger, but these are viewed as spiritual blessings from God rather than the garments themselves having inherent powers. It's about the faith and the covenant relationship with Heavenly Father that bring spiritual safety and comfort. There's no official statement from the church that it was all about physical protection or some other thing that would protect you form physical harm, don't be too arugant Edson Robis Rase.
It’s crucial to emphasize that the garment’s true significance lies in its role as a daily reminder of one's commitment to live a Christ-centered life. As such, any protections or blessings are attributed to faithfulness and divine assistance rather than the garment itself being inherently protective.
So, again Edson Rase Robis and put this in your mind. We don't believe it is magical rather it is a reminder for a person on his covenants and relationship with God in the temple where they make sacred covenants, Get that?
Edson Robis Rase: So why do you LDS believe that it was Magical?
Here we Go AGAIN Edson Robis Rase, and Again the Role of Garments is a REMINDER of the covenants we made and Symbolism of Faith.Throughout the Bible, garments have been mentioned in several instances where they are associated with miraculous events, highlighting the powerful interplay between faith, symbolism, and divine intervention. Here, we'll explore some notable Biblical examples and clarify their symbolic meanings, particularly in relation to faith, rather than attributing these events to the garments themselves having inherent miraculous power.
The Woman Who Touched Christ's Garment
One of the most famous accounts is that of the woman with an issue of blood, as recorded in Mark 5:24-34. This woman believed that touching the hem of Christ's garment would heal her, and upon doing so, she was indeed healed. Jesus, perceiving the faith of the woman, said, “Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague” (Mark 5:34).
Here, the garment itself was not the source of the miracle; rather, it was the woman's faith in Christ's power to heal her that facilitated the miracle, and yet it was a tool use to heal her, either spiritually or Physically accourding to her faith.
Other Biblical Instances -
- Elijah and Elisha's Mantle: In 2 Kings 2:8-14, Elijah's mantle is used in miraculous events as a symbol of prophetic authority and the passing of that authority to Elisha. This mantle didn’t have power on its own; instead, it represented the divine calling and authority given to them by God.
- Joseph’s Coat of Many Colors: While not associated with miracles, Joseph’s coat in Genesis 37:3 symbolizes his father’s favor and later becomes a symbol of betrayal and redemption as Joseph's story progresses. Imagine that to a God you believe Edson Robis Rase.
Symbolism Over Substance
In the context of Latter-day Saint temple garments, it's crucial to understand this principle. The garments are worn as a reminder of covenants and are seen as physical symbols of spiritual truths. Just as the biblical garments were often associated with divine acts through faith, so too are temple garments connected to one's faith and commitment to God, rather than being inherently protective or magical.
The power of the garments in Latter-day Saint belief arises from faith in Jesus Christ and adherence to the covenants made in His name. Any testimony of safety or divine assistance experienced while wearing them is viewed as a result of divine blessing, linked to righteousness and faithfulness.
Okay, To conclude Edson Robis Rase, temple garments serve as a constant reminder of temple covenants. Their significance is primarily symbolic, not magical. Similarly, wearing your underwear signifies adulthood, unless if you're not wearing one Edson Robis Rase 😂. However, the comparison is imperfect; temple garments hold a sacred meaning exceeding that of ordinary clothing.
I understand that people like you Edson Robis Rase have varying perspectives on undergarments and their significance. Some may view them as simply functional brief, panty or bra, while others may find deeper meaning in them. What are your thoughts on the sacredness of clothing, and how does that relate to your personal covenants? I'd be interested to hear your perspective if you have. While I could see you don't even have a good persfective on it, I suggest in reading and understand you scripture will just teach you temporal things might be sacred in different way, that if you are looking it that way.
Thank you, and have a nice day.
