0:00.0	The temple is the place where the living and the dead are connected. Joseph is tying the fate of the
0:05.2	deceased and the fate of the living together. The dead gained salvation through proxy ordinances
0:10.1	and the living gained salvation by laboring to carry out these ordinances. That's new doctrine,
0:16.1	Casey, right there. I don't think that's anywhere else in scripture. This is a new idea. And we get to

1:10.4	comes from to do it.
1:11.4	Yeah, 100%.
