But you think the white robes being washed in Christ’s blood are not symbolic.
I have an observation here.
Of course the white robes are symbolic. That does not mean they aren't real, physical white robes, or the saints wearing them are imaginary. Some here seem to believe whenever something is symbolic--it annuls the fact it's real. I wear a ring on my finger which is symbolic of the covenants I made with my wife in marriage. It's a real, physical object. It stands for something important to me. The temple itself is symbolic. Most everything the LDS do in the temples is symbolic. We partake of the sacrament on Sunday--which is symbolic. Much of physical life is symbolic of something, IMO.
Relegating something to symbolic won't make it go away, during the time it's symbolic. That's a false belief, and an ineffective approach.
What else do you have?
