| | Definition of Priesthood (Mormonism) |
| | Priesthood in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints | | | The Book of Mormon refers to priests that were "called and prepared from the foundation of the world according to the foreknowledge of God, on account of their exceeding faith and good works." (Alma 13:3). | | | Because Latter Day Saints believe that priesthood authority and keys may be granted only by one who holds that authority or key, they believe it is important that a person trace their priesthood through a line of succession from a person in the Bible who was known to hold that authority or key. |

| | The Aaronic Priesthood continued “with the house of Aaron among the children of Israel” from Aaron until John the Baptist, who was a priest in the Aaronic order (D&C 84: 26-27), and by this authority he prepared the way for and baptized Jesus. | | | This appears to be the case in the Church as recorded in the New Testament and in the Book of Mormon (where there were no Levites), and is presently operative in the Church as it has been restored in the latter days. | | | As part of his rationale that the law of Moses was fulfilled, Paul makes a point of the contrast between the lineal requirement of the lesser priesthood and the nonlineal Melchizedek Priesthood, which was not confined to those of one tribe (see JST Heb. |

| | LDS believe Aaron and his sons were ordained to the priesthood by a ceremony of laying hands on their heads, that Christ ordained the apostles in the same way, and that the priesthoods were thus restored to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery in like manner in 1829. | | | There is no example of Aaronic priests in the church anywhere in the New Testament, amazing if such priesthood existed in the church. | | | Melchizedek's priesthood is mentioned in only three places in the Bible, so all the Bible tells us about this priesthood must be found in these passages: Gen. 14:17-20; Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 4:14 to 8:4. |

| | Evidence that the Aaronic Priesthood was not had among the Nephites, even after the visitation of Christ: |
| | Therefore we are justified in the belief that not only was the fulness of the Melchizedek Priesthood conferred, but also the Aaronic, just as we have it in the Church today; and this Aaronic Priesthood remained with them from this time until, through wickedness, all priesthood ceased. | | | The terms Aaronic Priesthood or Levitical Priesthood are never mentioned in the Book of Mormon. | | | Today, when a convert is ordained a priest, the following language is used, “I confer upon you the Aaronic Priesthood and ordain you to the office of a priest.” Among the Nephites, this ordination never mentioned conferring either the Melchizedek or the Aaronic Priesthood (presumably because the only priesthood held among them was the Melchizedek). |

| | We are further told that the Melchizedek priesthood is that which holds the keys to the "knowledge of God" - the ordinances, covenants, and deeper understanding withheld from those in the world who do not understand or believe the Gospel. | | | The Lord sent Moses’ brother Aaron to be his brother’s spokesman and all-round right-hand man. When the Lord withheld the Melchizedek priesthood from Israel, he appointed Aaron and his sons and all their direct descendants to be priests over all the people. | | | The principles and ordinances of the Preparatory Gospel include faith, repentance, and baptism, and are the means by which man is justified before God. |

| | So that, while the Lesser Priesthood was first called the Aaronic Priesthood in the days of Aaron, for we have no knowledge of its having been known by that name before that time, undoubtedly the authority, and perhaps the exercise, of, that priesthood had always existed and did not begin with Aaron. | | | Priesthood is the agency of God, and, therefore is eternal, without beginning of days or end of years, and as the lesser, Aaronic, Levitical or preparatory priesthood, partakes of the nature of the higher priesthood, it must necessarily be eternal, though it may be called by different names under different dispensations. | | | The answer to the question must necessarily be "no." The Aaronic Priesthood is but an appendage to the Melchizedek Priesthood, or a part of it, a separate function, whose particular mission is to precede the Melchizedek, or to prepare the way for its dispensations upon the earth. |
