The LDS Aaronic priesthood is given to 12 year old boys who continue in it until they are ordained 'elders' (usually when they serve an LDS mission). So this is written to young teenage boys.

The LDS do not grasp that the Jewish Priesthood of Aaron was 1) for descendants of Aaron and 2) terminated with the Crucifixion of Jesus

Once again, the LDS keep trying to sew up the Temple veil that was rent in two by Christ.

Disclaimer: I am NOT Mormon. I was Mormon for several years and then left. I do not believe Mormon doctrine and find their teachings heretical.

I love to be served the Sacrament by these young men. They take it seriously, too.

P.S. The Church was restored.

I bet the Jewish people really HATE this perversion of their laws.

For 2000 years people have tried to sew the Temple veil that was rent in two from top to bottom. lds have rebuilt a secret temple, with non Biblical secret ceremonies.

..hold the keys of the ministering of angels

What exactly is this supposed to mean? You can't tell me that the LDS can pssibly imagine that pimple-faced little 12-year-old boys can have power over the very messengers of God, angels.

PS. There was NO NEED for a ‘restoration’ unless Christ was a liar. Do you think Christ was a liar?

And, SD, the claim of a ‘restoration’ has nothing to do with the fact that the role of Jewish Priests was blood sacrifice and the sacrificial system is no longer needed because of Christ, so once again the LDS INSULT the sacrifice of Christ.

The Temple veil was rent in two and the LDS keep trying to put it back up.

Saundra, serious question: what exactly happens when one is “served the sacrament”?

After saying rote prayers (which the LDS usually condemn for anyone else) they pass out wonderbread and water and everyone promises to keep ALL the commandments that next week.

These threads only strengthen the intended targets, and only offer you a quick fix for your addiction to antagonism. Grow up.

The Aaronic priesthood was not terminated with the Renegade Rabbi doing his thing. If you visit any Orthodox (don’t know about Conservative, Reconstructionist, or Reform) synagogue you will find that the first two people that always get called up to read the first two sections of the weekly Torah portion are the Cohens (high priests descended from Aaron) and Levis from the tribe of Levi.

Once the Temple is rebuilt the Cohenim and the Levi’im will be running the show again.

But if the Aaronic priesthood was terminated after the Renegade Rabbi did his thing then that means anyone can restart it and do whatever they want with it. No Orthodox Union seal of approval needed!

"P.S. The Church was restored."

The LDS Church claims to be a restoration of the original New Testament church. But when something is restored, it is put back into its original form, and any change produces a substitution, not a restoration. Since the LDS Church has a First Presidency, Patriarchs, High Priests, Stake Presidency, Ward Bishopric, Priests, and so on, it is very different from the New Testament church. Therefore, it is a substitution, not a restoration of the New Testament Church. But, LDS use Acts 3:19-21, Rev. 14:6-7, and Matt. 17:11 to support their claim of being the "restoration" of Christ's church. Yet, those texts do not support LDS claims.
