4:08, so Melchizedek Priesthood can only be held by Christ.

Well don't tell that the Melchizedek that since he held that priesthood during the time of Abraham. It's kinda hard to argue that Christ is the only one to hold a priesthood named after a previous Prophet who held it!

Now you are half right, the Melchizedek Priesthood is Christ's priesthood, but men in the Bible and men today hold this Priesthood!

At least learn the Bible before you preach it wrongly!

All who receive the Aaronic Priesthood are of the tribe of Levi. Even though Israel had 12 sons that lead 12 tribes, two instead of Levi (who leads all nations through the Aaronic Priesthood) and Joseph, you have Joseph's sons Ephraim and Manasseh.

LOL

Funny that you're not picking up that she is critical of Mormons, not supportive.

It was not his calling to restore the gospel, that was given to another. The 3 Nephites wanted to tarry to help convince there brethren of the true gospel, they too eventually were taken because of the wickedness of the people. Ever wonder why they killed all the apostles in the New Testament but banished John to the Isle of Patmos? Probably cause they could not kill him.

Do you know the history of the BOM? Do you know the major changes that have been made to it?

But there are hundreds of different LDS churches as well. Given time there will be even more. Did you pray and ask God if the Koran was true? If youa re going to say she misquotes scripture then please, give us their real meaning....

[sonofcohen]

But according to the LDs church John never died neither did three nephyites. Did they somehow fail in sharing the gospel too?

[cammon88]

you might have a better chance to refute the church by going to it's source. Does any other church on the face of the earth profess that Jesus came back to earth and started his Church again through Joseph Smith? Since it was clearly destroyed with the killing of the apostles.

[cammon88]

It seems pointless to argue about priesthood authority when people that are trying to teach it here are clearly so ill informed they cannot make sense of the scripture they are quoting. We are the only church on the face of the earth to profess to have received the priesthood from those ancient apostles themselves, though dead they came back as servants of the Most High to brig back the authority of God. Why else would something have to be restored unless it was originally lost. see Rev 14:6

Translation: Partially, JS never finished it. His translations are remarkably close to those in the DSS.

Melchizedek had the Melchizedek priesthood. Hence the name.

I do not base everything on the Bible. Anyone who knows the history of the Bible knows it is quite incomplete. Which is why I don't base all my arguments on one incomplete book. Thanks for not answering my question. (Yet again)
