[Jeff Head]

I have told you before that I have served in Bishoprics in the Church MHG. You claim to know a lot about the Church and if you do, you know the answer before you ask it.

I am a High Priest in the LDS Church. It is a lay priesthood and my oath is to Jesus Christ who leads that Priesthood. He is in fact my High Priest, just as He is for the entire earth, and the one I look to for my Salvation through His atonement.

The Priesthood is how the Church is organized, and we believe how it was organized by Christ himself. We believe all the original Apostles and other leaders were called similarly.

But, you do not believe that and these issues have been discussed at length elsewhere and ultimately devolve into LDS believers getting damned to hell, called frauds and many other names, etc., etc.

Again, as I have done in the past. God bless you for your sincere faith in Christ and any sincere and Christlike efforts you make to bring others to Him, that work is not waisted by anyone...in the end, He will draw all sincere believers to Himself and all truth.

I hope you and yours have a blessed remainder of the sabbath day,

[LomanBill]

What’s the name of the BS-Artist who’s High Priest on Planet Kolob?

Is being god of Kolob a permanent position or, since it’s just a vacation planet, is it more like an anarcho-syndicalist commune where you’ll take it in turns to be a sort of Executive Supreme God Man and Officer for the week — You know, an honorary god of the cruise ship during mardi gras sort of thing...?

When you say “Jesus Christ” is your priest, jesus christ the lds one or the Biblical one - they are not the same.
The lds jesus is not sufficient for salvation, was once a man, was created and is satan’s brother.
The Biblical Jesus is eternal, sufficient for salvation, was not satan’s brother, was fully God and fully man when He gave Himself for us.
Jeff, no one can condemn you to hell, people go there of their own free will.

It seems that mormons continually demote God, Jesus and now the "original Apostles" down to fit the template of man made mormonism.

Note the command below regarding the oath and actions of your priesthood....He covenants to be faithful, magnify his calling, “give diligent heed to the words of eternal life,” and “live by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God.”

Perhaps given the oath taken to “give diligent heed to the words of eternal life,” and “live by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God.”, you might want to recant the accusations against me in post 23..."You are apparently so wrapped up in your vindictiveness and angest"....."you are apparently so wrapped up in your accusative nature and spirit"

Somehow, your self-promoting "look how wise and good I am" tales of your deeds and testimony ring false as “living by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God.”

Melchizedek Priesthood

---

Through the authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood, Church leaders guide the Church and direct the preaching of the gospel throughout the world. In the ordinances of the Melchizedek Priesthood, “the power of godliness is manifest” (D&C 84:20). This greater priesthood was given to Adam and has been on the earth whenever the Lord has revealed His gospel. It was taken from the earth during the Great Apostasy, but it was restored in 1829, when the Apostles Peter, James, and John conferred it upon Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery.

Additional Information

“There are, in the church, two priesthoods, namely, the Melchizedek and Aaronic” (D&C 107:1). The Melchizedek Priesthood, which is “after the Order of the Son of God” (D&C 107:3), is the greater of these. It “holds the right of presidency, and has power and authority over all the offices in the church” (D&C 107:8). It also holds “the keys of all the spiritual blessings of the church” (D&C 107:18). It is named after a great high priest who lived during the time of the prophet Abraham (see D&C 107:2-4; see also Alma 13:14-19).

The offices of the Melchizedek Priesthood are Apostle, Seventy, patriarch, high priest, and elder. The President of the High Priesthood is the President of the Church (see D&C 107:64-66).

Men in the Church must be worthy Melchizedek Priesthood holders in order to receive the temple endowment and be sealed to their families for eternity. They have the authority to administer to the sick and give special blessings to family members and others. With the authorization of presiding priesthood leaders, they can bestow the gift of the Holy Ghost and ordain other worthy men to offices in the Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthoods.

When a man receives the Melchizedek Priesthood, he enters into the oath and covenant of the priesthood. He covenants to be faithful, magnify his calling, “give diligent heed to the words of eternal life,” and “live by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God.” Those who keep this covenant will be sanctified by the Spirit and receive “all that [the] Father hath.” (See D&C 84:33-44.)

Doctrine and Covenants

Section 84

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland, Ohio, 22 and 23 September 1832 (see History of the Church, 1:286–95). During the month of September, elders had begun to return from their missions in the eastern states and to make reports of their labors. It was while they were together in this season of joy that the following communication was received. The Prophet designated it a revelation on priesthood.

33–44, Men gain eternal life through the oath and covenant of the priesthood

33For whoso is ^afaithful unto the obtaining these two ^bpriesthoods of which I have spoken, and the ^cmagnifying their calling, are ^dsanctified by the Spirit unto the ^erenewing of their bodies. 34They become the ^asons of Moses and of Aaron and the ^bseed of ^cAbraham, and the church and kingdom, and the ^delect of God. 35And also all they who receive this priesthood ^areceive me, saith the Lord; 36For he that receiveth my servants ^areceiveth me; 37And he that ^areceiveth me receiveth my Father; 38And he that receiveth my Father receiveth my Father’s ^akingdom; therefore ^ball that my Father hath shall be given unto him. 39And this is according to the ^aoath and covenant which belongeth to the priesthood. 40Therefore, all those who receive the ^apriesthood, receive this ^boath and covenant of my Father, which he cannot break, neither can it be moved. 41But whoso breaketh this ^acovenant after he hath received it, and altogether turneth therefrom, shall ^bnot have forgiveness of sins in this world nor in the world to come. 42And wo unto all those who come not unto this priesthood which ye have received, which I now confirm upon you who are present this day, by mine own voice out of the heavens; and even I have given the heavenly hosts and mine angels ^acharge concerning you. 43And I now give unto you a commandment to beware concerning yourselves, to give ^adiligent ^bheed to the words of eternal life. 44For you shall ^alive by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God.

So you ADMIT that you try to usurp the place of Christ?!?! There is ONLY ONE HIGH PRIEST AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK - Jesus Christ.

To claim you hold the same priesthood as Christ is to demote Christ. You need to take a hard look at the book of Hebrews in a non-LDS KJV.

Hebrews 7:24, “But He, on the other hand, because He abides forever, holds His priesthood permanently.” The Greek word for permanently is ajparavbato” (aparabotos) meaning unchangeable, unalterable, inviolable.
