Zone1 Put on the whole armour of God?

[Cougarbear]

Ephesians 6:11, “11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
This isn’t like medieval knights in armor. This is a spiritual armour. “Put on” from the Greek is Endou or Endow. Meaning cover or wear this gift. In the LDS Temple, the ceremony is an Endowment and includes the temple garment as part of the Endowment ceremony.
Anti-Mormons make fun of our religious garments. But, to LDS, the Whole armour of God comes alive and we wear this blessing with humility and thanks to be endowed.

But the true "Armor of God' isn't a physical garment but a spiritual one.


Ephesians 6:10-18

The Armor of God​

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 ;And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

The garments of the priesthood when used appropriately does just that. Why do you have crosses on your necks? Christ’s teachings were symbolic in nature. When received, the garments are a protection against evil reminding us to keep our covenants of righteousness.
