Question inspired by Utah Dan's last post.

A and B. I feel that God inspires His leaders to modify our standards of worship as the times change and our understanding evolves. The 1838 temple endowment would make little sense to a 2006 attendee, seeing as how it was instructed via symbolism catered to the comprehension of a largely uneducated, confused, god-fearing midwestern society.
