pam Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Reference Search: Jacob 1:1818 For I, Jacob, and my brother Joseph had been consecrated priests and teachers of this people, by the hand of Nephi. Quote for Discussion“The Nephites did not officiate under the authority of the Aaronic Priesthood. They were not descendants of Aaron, and there were no Levites among them. There is no evidence in the Book of Mormon that they held the Aaronic Priesthood…but the Book of Mormon tells us definitely, in many places, that the priesthood which they held and under which they officiated was the Priesthood after the holy order, the order of the Son of God. This higher priesthood can officiate in every ordinance of the gospel, and Jacob and Joseph, for instance, were consecrated priests and teachers after this order.” Joseph Fielding Smith(Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 3, p. 86) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
