pam Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Reminds of something a man told me about 5 years ago. I don't remember how we got onto the subject but he said. "I am the Priesthood power." Well ummm...no you aren't. I thought this quote was a great reminder of the differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I can tell you that if he had been running around in a fur speedo we would not have had a conversation. I would have been the one running as far away as I could from him.

Anddenex Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 This was a great statement. I have considered it. Why do you think Elder Ballard called the plan priesthood endowed?Elder Ballard said, "priesthood-endowed plan," connoting the conflation of priesthood and endowed; power and authority combined with gift to describe the type of plan.Would his meaning then imply, the plan as a gift of power and authority?This plan endows us with power and authority, which is why the man is not the priesthood, to administer the affairs of the kingdom of God on this earth.This thought brings my mind to reflect we are being of action, not being to be acted upon.
