Podcasts about priesthood

Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox apologists argue, and train others to argue, that their churches are the true church because they've kept an unbroken line of truth through their traditions. But is this true? History and scripture reveal a very different story - that these two major religions have very little to do with the Early Church. * 00:00 - Introduction * 07:43 - Church Leadership* 40:51 - Priesthood* 49:03 - Prayer* 54:55 - Subordinationism* 1:13:44 - Eschatology* 1:47:09 - Praying to the Dead/Praying for the Dead* 2:06:55 - Iconoclasm* 2:20:00 - Purgatory* 2:25:50 - Cosmology* 2:29:18 - Baptism* 2:36:06 - The Eucharist* 2:50:02 - Salvation * 3:08:51 - Scripture* 3:19:29 - The Sabbath* 3:36:16 - Final Thoughts This is a public episode.

"But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7 Social media has clearly shown the power of the outward appearance and the influence it can have in our lives.

Revelation Dates: February 27 – March 15, 1833 Revelation Places: Kirtland, Ohio Section 89 - Historical Background: In a small upstairs room in Bishop Whitney's store, around 22 Elders gathered tightly together to attend the School of the Prophets. The purpose of the school was to learn the mysteries of God and sacred truths in preparation for their ministry. During the meeting, the Elders would light their pipes and smoke. When the pipe tobacco was exhausted, they would bite off a large piece of chewing tobacco. This was a common practice for the day. They had not been taught their bodies are considered sanctified tabernacles. The use of liquor, tobacco, coffee, tea and other stimulants were commonly accepted. Often, when Joseph entered the room to give instruction, he would find himself in a cloud of tobacco smoke. This, along with the complaints from Emma who cleaned the spittoons and the disgusting mess on the floor, made the Prophet think upon the matter. He inquired of the Lord and received this revelation, which went far beyond tobacco, known as the Word of Wisdom. Recap: For the health and general welfare of all the saints, the Lord reveals a Word of Wisdom. In consequence of evil and conspiring men, warns them to abstain from wine, strong drinks, tobacco, and hot drinks (later defined as coffee and tea). Rather, every herb and fruit should be used in the season. Meat is ordained for the use of man, sparingly. Grains is also ordained for the use of man and beast. Obedience to this warning promises health and wisdom. Section 90 - Historical Background: At this critical time of the restoration, the Lord knew his church was going into a perilous phase in its development. Over the next two years, the Lord would appoint relatively  inexperienced men to lead the church, including the First Presidency, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the Seventy, Stake high councils, Stake Presidents and Bishops. These high offices and noble titles in the church would be a supreme test which many would fail. The Lord demonstrated a great deal of love and patience with these leaders. This section formally organizes the First Presidency who hold the keys of the Priesthood. It was shortly after this revelation was given that Joseph ordained Sidney Rigdon and Frederick G. Williams as Counselors in the First Presidency. Recap: The keys of the Priesthood are given to the First Presidency, consisting of Joseph Smith, Sidney Rigdon and Frederick G. Williams. They are to receive revelations for the entire church. The First Presidency are to set in order the church, learn and study, and continue in these offices for the remainder of their lives. There should be no pride, slothfulness or uncleanliness. Section 91 - Historical Background: At this time, Joseph was revising the Old Testament. He came across the books referred to as the “Apocrypha,” meaning “hidden,” and didn't know if they were worthy of including in the bible or were merely an appendix to the bible. He took this inquiry to the Lord. Recap: In the Apocrypha, there are many aspects which are true, but many things are not true. Therefore, they are not trustworthy to be included with the bible, nor should they be translated or revised. The Apocrypha should not be intermingled with the revelations from God. Any person led by the Spirit can benefit from the Apocrypha, but without the Spirit there is no benefit.  Section 92 - Historical Background: This revelation relates to an earlier revelation in section 82, relating to the Law of Consecration. Now the Lord wants Frederick G. Williams added to the order. Recap: As a new counselor in the First Presidency, the Lord commands Frederick G. Williams to be included in the United Order, known as the Law of Consecration.

"Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

The priesthood of the Old Covenant among the people of Israel is fulfilled in the one priesthood of Christ. The Catechism compares the Old Testament priesthood, “powerless to bring about salvation,” with the ordained ministry in the New Covenant. Fr. Mike unpacks the reality that there is only one true priest—Jesus Christ. His “priests” on earth are humble ministers. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1539-1545. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Killing God's Enemies:: The Crazy War Against Jews, African-Americans and the U.S. Government by John Lee Brook (Author)  Killing God's Enemies relates the origin, history and activities of the church of Christian Identity and its violent outgrowth called the Phineas Priesthood. In doing so, the book reveals the group's philosophy of hate; their methodology, which is death to all blacks, Jews, homosexuals and abortionists; and their goal, which is an America ruled by white men. The church of Christian Identity is a small and obscure religious denomination. Its radical arm— the Phineas Priesthood— barely registers on the radar screens of the general public's consciousness. That is, until it's too late. For the Phineas Priesthood is unlike any other priesthood. There is no seminary and no ordination. There is only one requirement: kill the enemies of God. Killing God's Enemies will tell the fantastic but true tale of how Christian Identity came to exist, where the idea of the Phineas Priesthood came from, relate the violent exploits of the Priesthood's lone warriors, and show how Anti-Semitism forms the fulcrum upon which Christian Identity pivots.https://amzn.to/4oe0MIVBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

This section on the Priesthood is applicable to all!

Have you ever truly grasped the immense power and sacred promises embedded within the Priesthood? This video unlocks the profound truths of Doctrine & Covenants 84! Summary: In this powerful exploration, we delve into D&C 84, a foundational revelation given to elders returning from their missions, revealing the grand scope of the Restoration. It's not just about restoring the Gospel, Priesthood, or Church, but ultimately about the restoration of God's people to a right relationship with Him. This process is intrinsically linked to the gathering of Saints to Zion and the building of Temples, where God's glory can fill His house. The video dissects the dual nature of the Priesthood: the Lesser (Aaronic) Priesthood, which prepares us through the preparatory gospel and baptism of repentance, and the Greater (Melchizedek) Priesthood, which holds the "key of the knowledge of God" and the power to manifest "the power of godliness". It's within the temple that this power of godliness is most fully made manifest, making ordinances effective for our salvation. A central theme is the Oath and Covenant of the Priesthood, emphasizing the sacred promises made by both God and man. Discover God's unbreakable oath to bless those who worthily receive the Priesthood, promising them sanctification, renewed bodies, and becoming heirs of "all that my Father hath". In return, man's covenant involves receiving the Priesthood, magnifying callings, hearkening to words of eternal life, and living by every word of God. The video also warns against treating God's word lightly, which can lead to spiritual darkness and bondage, but offers the powerful remedy of repentance and remembering the new covenant. Ultimately, living these principles makes us friends of Christ and enables signs to follow believers, confirming the transformative power of the Priesthood in preparing us for celestial glory.
