For most people will never accept or see the truth about church history, for then they would have to be responsible for finding truth on their own and discerning right from wrong themselves, which requires righteousness, which they don't want to have to really be, thus they prefer the temporary bliss of following blindly and not really having to live the gospel of Jesus Christ, for it just asks way too much of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199633972689777295.post-83844279883625948062014-03-13T20:12:20.643-07:002014-03-13T20:12:20.643-07:00Received from "God's own voice" acco...Received from "God's own voice" according to JST Genesis (I forget which chapter, but it's the one talking about Melchizedek priesthood).Toninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199633972689777295.post-14857026713829972572014-03-13T20:11:03.315-07:002014-03-13T20:11:03.315-07:00Reading Daymon Smith's books (A Cultural Histo...Reading Daymon Smith's books (A Cultural History of the Book of Mormon) have really opened my eyes.

How truth can bring light to darken minds!
...WOW!<br /><br />How truth can bring light to darken minds!<br /><br />The truth of how priesthood developed in the church could certainly crush many people's testimonies in the church and it's leaders. What is taught in church materials as truth is a manipulated and completely misleading narrative of church history. I now understand why church leaders insist people look to them as a source of truth and authority, it the best way they can maintain their influence and power over people.

Without the Holy Ghost there is no power in the priesthood. It is eternal. It is not controlled nor given thru any organization.<br />The church's claims of having the fullness of the priesthood are just hot air designed to empower an organization created and maintained by men, based on the philosophies of men minged with scripture.<br />JRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199633972689777295.post-25887431052775430012014-03-05T19:22:27.825-08:002014-03-05T19:22:27.825-08:00Here is some interesting history about priesthood ...

Scholars also raise important questions that expose potential weaknesses in Smith and Cowdery's story of their miraculous ordinations. For example, if Joseph and Oliver had experienced events as remarkable and life-altering as divine visitations by John the Baptist and three of Christ's apostles, why would they not tell others? These miraculous ordinations were not publicly revealed or documented until five years after they supposedly occurred. Moreover, if the restoration of the priesthood is a fundamental tenet of the LDS Church, why was this revelation excluded from the Book of Commandments when it was originally published in 1833, only revealed in the revised and re-named Doctrine and Covenants in 1835?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199633972689777295.post-75473683973669722292014-03-05T10:57:12.187-08:002014-03-05T10:57:12.187-08:00Excellent post!
