I have no Idea. Never been to the temple other than baptism for the dead when I was young.

Take a creature? Does that mean take a tribe? The bulls mean tribes.

I believe the work for the dead is being attacked.

Take a family member maybe?

Does this card game really exist?

Added later: Proxy means replacement. We replace the dead with our living bodies in the baptism for the dead.

This one is straightforward, the concept of doing work for those who have passed on takes faith. The faithless cannot see further than their eyes will allow them so it is impossible for them to see more into it.

Rather off topic, but... I answered your other questions about the reality of these cards in Part 1 of this series. More cards to come. By the way, I cannot stop you, but if you have not been to the Temple yet I would wait to go their first before you reply to any of the Temple based Threads so that you do not go there with someone's opinion.

Totally mocking our work for the dead. Good point JB about the faithless not being able to see further than their eyes will allow them. It seems to imply something with the quotes that we get credit or something for those we proxy for. I might be reading into that--I just noticed the action to take a dead one FROM their graveyard and put it into ours....then the quote about being Saviors....which is not in the sense of the atonement.

Also Quasar,

For a long time I had been taught that the twelve oxen represented the twelve tribes of Israel but then found out and just had it reinforced that the oxen represent the tribe of Joseph. Have you heard that before?

They may also be hitting the fact that we do baptism for people of different religions and families that may not be directly attached to us. The Church was sued over this and have stated that we must now ask permission.
