Mormon Priesthood - The Power and Authority of God

[@sauratanar]

As an East Indian Mormon, this video is very informative and confirms any questions Church investigators may have. Thank you for the post!

[@jgbee2726]

Who gave them the authority to contradict scripture? The scripture that says Jesus is God, not just a man. Where in scripture does it say that people (men) will populate their own planets and BE GOD? What happens to the women 'believers'?

[@chaseallen7499]

Jan Brandt There is no doctrine on us getting planets. But for the us becoming Gods here is Psalms 82 6: I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High., And when Jesus was being called blasphemous by the Jews saying that he was God he replied in John 10 verses 33-34 with 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? And in 2 Peter 1 verse 4 it says we will be partakers of devine nature. 4 ​Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious ​​​promises​: that by these ye might be ​​​partakers​ of the ​​​divine​ ​​​nature​, having ​​​escaped​ the ​​​corruption​ that is in the world through ​​​lust​. So with all this scripture evidence how did Joseph Smith go against the scriptures when the scriptures confirmed what he was teaching.

No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)-and which I should join. 19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all awrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those bprofessors were all ccorrupt; that: “they ddraw near to me with their lips, but their ehearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the fcommandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.” - Joseph Smith History 1 I don’t agree with some of their tactics but we aren’t brothers and sisters.

[@windywithachanceofsunshine5219]

All religions teach people to be good, not just Mormons. Being good is a fairly natural goal. More people are good than bad. What makes a religion true is teachings about God. That is where Mormonism falls off the chart. The goal for believers is eternal life, and that can only come to fruition through the belief in the ONE, true God, the alpha and the omega, not the godhead which was once a man like us. My God always was and always will be. I would not want to be so sacrilegious as to make God less than the wonderful being He is. I pray daily for all Mormons.

@@windywithachanceofsunshine5219 Not accurate at all. What makes a religion true is whether God says it is true or not. You repeat the trinitarian notion that was created by a non member of the christian church, Constantine. The trinitarian notion came from a bunch of uninspired men and has propagated throughout Christianity, yet it was all "private interpretation" and not of God. We are only lucky that God helped preserve what He did so that we can even have a Bible. Otherwise the early "Christians" cough... roman emperor... would have completely destroyed any truth within.

Hey guys. Hope you're having a good weekend. So I'm 150 pages into the Book of Mormon, and I've heard hell mentioned numerous times. (Mosiah Chapter 2:38-2:40) One of the things that I find appealing about your church is the revelation that god is pretty liberal with salvation (unless you're Hitler, or someone else who brought great harm to humanity). That being said, in terms of continuing revelation, has God changed his mind about the Book of Mormon or just the 'various things you go to hell for' parts? As always, thanks for your time and help!

Per the Church's website... "Home teaching is the responsibility of all Melchizedek Priesthood holders and of those who are teachers and priests in the Aaronic Priesthood. As part of their responsibility to watch over the members of the Church, home teachers visit their assigned families at least once each month to teach and strengthen them. Home teachers establish a relationship of trust with these families so that the families can call upon them in times of need."

[@WafflePunk47]

Each member of a congregation is given a specific individual/family to watch over and serve. We are supposed to visit them once a month and make sure that they are doing well. Kwaku was reacting like that because he probably hasn't been doing a good job of it haha

As a Protestant, I am a firm believer in what we call the priesthood of all believers. And although this term was probably created near the time of the reformation, it is very supported in scripture. I don't consider the Book of Mormon scripture. there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 2:5. The problem is that Joseph taught that there had been a falling away and we needed to restore the gospel. God promised that "Heaven and earth will pass away, by my words will never pass away." See the problem? It wasn't necessary for a restoration. God's word was not missing "several plain and precious parts," as Smith stated publically. We are all called in Mathew 28, if we are true believers in Christ alone for salvation to "

Kyle Kasten Mormons aren't Christians based on the facts that they believe in a different gospel, teach a works salvation, and deny Christ is God along with the Father and Holy Spirit as One!

[@Old_and_Wise]

Kyle Harbin - Sounds like you're spouting off all the same old false drab people like to claim about the Mormon faith. My advice - attend a Mormon church service, live the way they teach for a month, and then you can come back and tell me whether it's Christianity or not. Different gospel? Works salvation? Denying Christ is a God? Not sure you watched the entire video buddy...

[@Kyle-vb3fz]

I agree with you, Kyle Harbin, and I don't believe Mormons are what I refer to as Christians. Unfortunately though, the dictionary just says Christians are those that follow the teachings of Jesus. You and I, though, both know that in order to be a Christian it means that you must be born again. You have to have faith alone in Christ's sacrifice for our sins on the cross at Calvary. His sacrifice alone and add none of our "good works" to this. They are as filthy rags. Mormons believe we are saved by grace "after all we can do." They say this just applies to a general resurrection in which we will go to the 3 levels of the heavens, or spirit world, or outer darkness. We are appointed once to die, and then face the judgement. That's what the world says. Jesus is God, coequal with the father and Holy Spirit in the Trinity. You must be born and I don't mean in the LDS sense. They hold no true priesthood. Jospeh Smith was a liar, swindler, bigamist and conman, and every LDS will answer to God for why they trusted him as a prophet. Repent and turn to the true Christ, not the fictitious Christ you believe in. He created Lucifer, he's not his brother.

[@jabbafreakinjabba5718]

Old and Wise No! I put my faith in the Word of God! Mormons put their faith in Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, etc. The only way mormon teaching can stand beside the bible is by saying the bible is corrupted! Muslims, Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and many others all claim the same false beliefs of bible corruption! If your writings of self proclaimed prophets or added unbiblical scripture denies the deity of Christ, salvation by grace through faith, or other core beliefs of Christianity, then those unbiblical teachings are good for one thing and that's leading people astray! I'm glad I'm not going to stand before the Lord and have to say I thought His word was full of errors! I pray the Holy Spirit (God) opens all of your eyes! By they way Christ is not a god, He is God!

Mormons please please help me out here. I'm currently an investigator. What gets me is the priesthood. I can't get past that. Mentioned no where in the Bible, but is apparently everything. If it were everything, WHY wouldn't it be mentioned in the bible? The Bible says that the word is God, and in Revelations it says not to add or take away from the Bible. So I believe the Bible is everything. The word IS God. Yet, the priesthood isn't mentioned. The sister missionaries give me verses to read in the bible but not a single word talks about "the laying on of hands." When Jesus was on the cross, one guy was saved and went to heaven that day. No priesthood was done. No special ceremony. Nobody in the mormon church can answer me besides saying it's in the book of Mormon. Please help guys. This is THE stumbling block I have over the mormon church

Anthony Bell when Moses set the plagues on Egypt, that was by the priesthood. When Christ calmed the sea, instituted the sacrament, and was resurrected, that was by the priesthood.

David, don't pretend to ignore that we do in fact believe the Bible. The Bible is the first book in our cannon of scripture. Young members of the Church spend years studying the Old and New Testament in seminary programs and in institute classes as they grow older. Not sure who you're quoting "You must follow our book and our way to get to God." Lol, we believe we must follow GOD to get to GOD.

[@jarodv.4280]

David Stiles every religion is a cult, the definition of a cult is "formal religious veneration". the lds church doesn't teach evil or wrong doings. the church doesn't destroy lives.

[@jarodv.4280]

David Stiles The church doesn't put its self between the bible and and someone else, the church actually encourages us to ask God and ask with an intent to know what is true, god wouldn't lie to anyone, so we believe what we receive directly from God. we don't follow leaders blindly, we do pray and ask about the prophet and apostles, in fact it is encouraged of us to pray and receive a witness from God for ourselves about the subject. God wouldn't contradict his self, but the bible does have contradictions, because it is not entirely true, that's why we have to pray and receive a testimony for ourselves. an example of scriptures that are contradicting : numbers 23:19 "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" so if I had the Trinitarian view I would say" yeah, god doesn't change his mind, okay", however, in Genesis 6:6-7 the says "6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.", we can see there that he had a regret, he repenteth, on top of that he said that he would destroy man, we are still here, so, he obviously must have changed his mind. for these reasons we need to ask God ourselves and not just rely on our pastor or even the bible. even tho both are capable of truth, we should still pray about what we are taught and receive an answer directly from God.

[@jarodv.4280]

David Stiles you don't have to go to the temple to get into the celestial kingdom, you just need to be living in a way that you are worthy to go into the temple, deter f. Uchdorf taught that😂😂. why have the church or the book of Mormon? well, in the old testament there were prophets teaching people what to do. in the new testament there was Christ who is our prophet, priest ,and king , his apostles who went and spread the gospel, and the old testament which contained some of the prophets teachings. now we have the old testament, new testament which hasbeen altered and put together by the Catholic Church, if I was a closed minded Christian, like yourself, I'd stop there and say "we need no more prophets, scripture, and Christ came to earth, we need no more further instruction.", but I am a member of Christ's restored church and I seek further light and knowledge, we have also been given the book of Mormon ( this is the history and teachings of the prophets of Christ's "other sheep" as mentioned in John 10:16), we also have modern day prophets as well as apostles, pastors,teachers,and evangelists in our church. and since the beginning of time, the holy spirit which testifies and guides us In our day to day lives. I hope you have a great day, week, month, and year, I pray that you begin to not just grow in wisdom, but knowledge and truth, I really do love and care about you and I am glad you are my brother in christ.
