RESTORATION OF THE MELCHIZEDEK PRIESTHOOD.
The Prophet Joseph, in a communication to the Church, under date of September 6, 1842 [more than 12 years after the event supposedly occurred], makes allusion to the possible appearance by Peter, James and John in the course of a review of the great things God had revealed to him. He said: "And again, what do we hear? Glad tidings from Cumorah. Moroni (We covered this earlier in this report – someone has evidently inserted the name Moroni for Nephi in this revelation), an angel from heaven, declaring the fulfillment of the prophets--the book to be revealed. A voice of the Lord in the wilderness of Fayette, Seneca county, declaring the three witnesses to bear record of the book. The voice of Michael on the banks of the Susquehanna, detecting the devil when he appeared as an angel of light.
The voice of Peter, James and John in the wilderness between Harmony, Susquehanna county, and Colesville, Broome county, on the Susquehanna river, declaring themselves as possessing the keys of the kingdom, and of the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times." (Doctrine and Covenants, sec. cxxviii: 20.) Anything mentioned here about the Melchizedek Priesthood by name? …show more content…

The rest of it was written in September of that year. If these revelations were indeed received in 1830 as B.H. Roberts says, they were not written until after 1833 as they didn’t appear in the 1833 Book of Commandments in a form including any mention of Peter, James, & John. These two allusions--the one by the Prophet and the other by the Lord--to the restoration of the Melchizedek Priesthood not only make clear the fact that the Melchizedek Priesthood was restored in accordance with the promise of John the Baptist when conferring the Aaronic Priesthood, but they make it possible to fix upon the place where, and approximately the time when, the event

They referred to one as the priest and one as the king. The Gospel of Mathew wanted to state that the Jewish was the “Messiah” the Jews were waiting for (Strauss, 2017). Matthew mentioned many citations about the fulfilment of the many prophecies about the Messiah. He states at the start of his Gospel that “This is the Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham,”(NRSVCE 1989 Matthew 1:1). In the start of his Gospel Matthew tries to make an impact on his Jewish audience that his gospel is not only about Jesus’s life, but instead to make the Jewish audience believe that Jesus is the

Carl Sagan once said, “If you make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe (2).” This can be seen in all aspects in life, like literature. If you want to create a book you must first create the universe, then the trees, then the machines to make the paper, and the printer to print it, and so on.

When Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-day Saints, asked God which Christian denomination he should join, he claimed that God said “they were all wrong” and that “their creeds were an abomination to [my] sight” (Smith). By sharing his discovery, Smith incited violent persecution, “common among all the sects” who “all united to persecute [him]” after fielding attacks on their religion (Smith). Hatred towards Smith grew so violent that he was forced to leave his home in Manchester (Smith), but persecution of Mormons and Mormon communities continued for years. To other Christians, Mormonism offered an unwarranted, modern interpretation of Christian beliefs, history, and saints. The institution of polygamy was seen as its most sacrilegious practice.

The amount of unrestricted power one person can have is unbelievable and frankly must be limited. One researcher reasons the Mormons’ supreme leader, who is also called the prophet or president, word is said to be supreme. The supreme leader’s followers can be disciplined to neglect or scorn those who show any signs of defiance (Hitchens). This statement proves that religious cult leaders, such as the leaders of the Mormon church, have absolute power over their followers. The prophet can control how his followers respond in any situation and that type of power is excessive and unneeded.
