Many locals call it the Mormon Temple, but the actual name is the Oakland California Temple. It is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Ang templo ay nakaupo sa isang kilalang lugar sa Oakland Hills at naging isang lokal na palatandaan para sa mga motorista, piloto ng eroplano na papalapit sa paliparan sa Oakland, at para sa mga kapitan ng barko na papasok sa San Francisco Bay at sa mga kargamento sa Oakland.

The temple is not where members meet for Sunday worship services. Temples are different than the regular chapels which the Church has around the world. Members of the Church worship in meetinghouses around the world, and visitors are always welcome to participate. Several chapels are located on the Temple Hill grounds.

Ang mga templo ay isang "lugar kung saan ang pinakamataas na mga sakramento ng pananampalataya" ay maaaring mangyari. Sa templo, malalaman mo ang tungkol sa plano ng kaligtasan at kung paano sundin ang perpektong halimbawa ni Cristo. Ang pinakadakilang mga pagpapala ng Diyos ay magagamit sa Kanyang mga templo. Habang nasa loob, nagsusuot ang mga miyembro puting damit na sumisimbolo sa parehong kadalisayan at pagkakapantay-pantay.

The practice of building temples goes back to the Old and New Testaments in the Bible. The Oakland California temple is one of 166+ modern temples built by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Ang mga miyembro lamang ng Ang Simbahan ni Jesucristo ng mga Banal sa mga Huling Araw na may aktibong temple recommend ang pinapayagang makapasok sa loob ng Oakland California Temple.

Anyone, regardless of religion, is welcome to visit the temple grounds, attend worship services in the chapel, research in the FamilySearch Library, tour the visitors’ center, and use the other facilities.

Lugar ng Kapayapaan at Pag-aaral

Para sa mga miyembro ng Simbahan, ang templo ng Oakland California ay inilaan na maging isang lugar ng pag-aaral at isang lugar ng kapayapaan. Ito ay sinadya upang maging isang lugar kung saan ang mga miyembro ay maaaring makatanggap ng espirituwal na patnubay para sa mga desisyon sa kanilang buhay. Ang mga miyembro na pumupunta sa templo ay may pagkakataong makaupo sa celestial room - isang magandang silid na inilaan para sa mga miyembro na kumuha ng pagkakataong magbulay-bulay at manalangin.

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints perform several ordinances in the Oakland Temple. Ordinances are sacred acts that create a binding two-way promise between God and a person who wishes to return to God’s presence.

Endowment

The endowment ordinance “consists of a series of instructions and includes covenants to live righteously and follow the requirements of the gospel.” The member makes promises to follow the standards of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Kasal

Marriages performed in the Oakland California temple are considered eternal and continue beyond death. However, this forever-lasting marriage is conditional upon both the husband and wife staying faithful to the promises they make in the temple and keeping the standards of Christ’s teachings.

Pagbibinyag

Ang mga pagbibinyag sa templo ng Oakland California ay ginaganap para sa mga ninuno ng mga miyembro na namatay at walang pagkakataong mabinyagan.

Beacon sa Bay

Ang Oakland Temple ay kapwa isang espiritwal at literal na beacon sa mga nasa bay area. Tumatayo ang templo sa Oakland Hills at makikita mula sa buong San Francisco Bay. Ito ay isang paalala sa lahat na ito ay isang lugar kung saan ang mga indibidwal ay maaaring puntahan upang gumawa ng mga sagradong pangako sa Diyos, madama ang Kanyang espiritu, at makatakas mula sa abalang hirap ng pang-araw-araw na buhay.

At night, the exterior of the building is illuminated by over one million lumens of light. The FAA uses the Oakland California Temple as a navigation beacon.

They are places where individuals can go to make sacred promises with God, feel His spirit, and escape from the hectic demands of day-to-day life. Temples have been around for a long time. Moses had a tabernacle, Solomon built a beautiful temple, and Jesus taught at the temple in Jerusalem. Today, temples are built all over the world.  Inside temples, couples can be married for eternity, not just “’til death do you part.” Members of the Church can also perform baptisms and other ordinances for their loved ones who died without receiving these blessings within temples. We understand that those who have passed on and have had a baptism performed on their behalf in the temple then have the opportunity to accept or reject the promises made with Heavenly Father at baptism. Members of the Church worship in meetinghouses around the world, and visitors are always welcome to participate. These buildings might include a neighborhood chapel or even a rented space in a city building. In any case, these meetinghouses are where members of the Church gather together regularly for Sunday worship services and weekly activities.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Can I visit the temple if I’m not a member?” tab_id=”1587482426572-336dac9e-05c2″][vc_column_text]Yes.

The nickname “mormon” stems from a book of scripture we have called Ang Aklat ni Mormon: Isa Pang Tipan ni Jesucristo. Matuto nang higit pa tungkol sa The Book of Mormon. While the term “Mormon Church” has long been publicly applied to the Church as a nickname, it is not an authorized title, and the Church discourages its use. Thus, we ask all to please avoid using the abbreviation “LDS” or the nickname “Mormon” as substitutes for the true name of the Church. When referring to Church members, the terms “members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” or “Latter-day Saints,”  are preferred.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU6NIu-V5Pc”][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion]
