Posts Tagged ‘Melchizedek priesthood’

 This question should be one of the most important questions to ask the Mormon people.  The LDS Church says that “priesthood is power” so this means they view themselves as the only authority to speak for and act in behalf of God.

I had the privilege of asking my dear friend Ed Decker to write a chapter in my mentoring handbook and so we’re answering our dilemma question today with Ed’s contribution!

March 21 — Melchizedek Priesthood Qualifications. Hebrews 7:1-326 “For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; 2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. 26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.” (more…)

Aaronic Priesthood restorexd by John the BaptistToday we’re looking at the way Mormonism was originally designed to operate. How did it come about? Under what, or whose authority does it operate?

We’re asking why an un-baptized Joseph Smith baptized Oliver Cowdery, when neither of these two men held the Aaronic Priesthood. About a year ago we talked about an article in the LDS ‘Friend’ Magazine when a young person had written in asking what it meant to hold the priesthood.

This time around we’re looking at the mechanics of what took place the day Smith and Cowdery claims that John the Baptist as well as the apostles Peter, James, and John appeared to reactivate God’s priesthood!

Restoration of the Melchizedek Priesthood

Mormon Decisions 10D&C 128:20; “…The voice of Michael on the banks of the Susquehanna, detecting the devil when he appeared as an angel of light!

Hebrews 7:11-17; “If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

salt lake mormon temple 2Mormon Doctrine, pg 410; “President Joseph F. Smith said: “What is a key?’ It is the right or privilege which belongs to and comes with the priesthood to have communication with God. Is not that a key? Most decidedly. We may not enjoy the blessings, or key, very much, but the key is in the priesthood. It is the right to enjoy the blessing of communication with the heavens, and the privilege and authority to administer in the ordinances of the gospel of Jesus Christ…You who hold the priesthood have the key or the authority, the right, the power or privilege to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ…” (Gospel Doctrine, 5th ed., p. 142.)”
