john doe Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Your priesthood authority holds no water with those who don't believe in it. Are you trying to impress us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outshined Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I doubt that "rue" is the word. She simply assumed such an attitiude would assure lack of response. We of course do not recognize her supposed "priesthood", so it is not an issue to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you're not offended that a woman has this priesthood! I have met many female ministers with the Association of Unity Church who have a profound ministry and I'm astounded with the number of miraculous healings they bring about. It is not for me to "judge" someones authority to represent Jesus by way of gender alone, I look at the "wake" they cause by moving among the people and how they lead people to Him.I am offended with arrogance though. A "true" priesthood member need not tell others they "got it", rather they let the light of God emanate from them as proof enough.In Christ I Serve,Thunderfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisRuptive1 Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 And of course she doesn't "officially" have the authority to act in God's name. It's not the priesthood that we don't recognize, it's the authority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the priesthood that we don't recognize, it's the authority. I find that the term "officially" becomes a relative term when we equate this between God and man. Samuel "officially" had authority to represent God and the Nephites didn't recognize it, so since the Nephites didn't recognize his authority was it any less "official" in the eyes of God?In Christ I Serve,Thunderfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cellaradom Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Thunder, we are not trying to talk down to any person, we believe that men must has authority by God to hold His priesthood. If a man does not have the authority then it is not recognized by God. It doesn't matter if other people don't recognize it, it matters that God reconized it. People may not recognize it because they believe and have faith that there is no authority of God present. I'm not into the whole, "YOU SHALL BE HEALED!" ect., but I see it as a scared ordiance used humbly and should not be taken lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They babble in tongues then interpret what was said which I believe to be against scripture. I have seen them "smack" people in the head and say "BE HEALED", and I agree that none of it appears humble.But then Romans 8:26 tells us that the spirit of God prays "intercession" for us in groans that human words cannot utter, and I believe that Melchisedec authority allows us to "listen" to that still small spirit and "hear" enough so we can at least pray for these wondrous blessings to unfold. If God simply says ask and that we will receive, I believe we just need to listen and learn how to ask for the things we can “see” in his hands.In Christ I Serve,Thunderfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
