| | High priest (Mormonism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | High priests in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints | | | In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a high priest is a member of the priesthood (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) who holds the same priesthood authority as that of an Elder, but who is ordained to the office of a high priest. | | | In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the office of high priest is an office in the Melchizedek priesthood similar to that of elder. |

| | Quorum (Mormonism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The bishop is also the quorum president of the Priests Quorum in the ward, and therefore the bishopric is the quorum presidency. | | | A Bishopric is a quorum consisting of three to administrate a church congregation or ward. | | | In these cases, a High Priest is called to oversee the direction of both the High Priests and Elders, and is set apart as the Melchizedek Priesthood Group leader, under the direction of the Stake President. |

| | Joshua the High Priest and the Council of the Gods in the Book of Zechariah |
| | As Joshua is now dressed in the garb of the high priest of Israel he is prepared to officiate in the heavenly holy of holies as he would in the holy of holies on the earth. | | | It seems altogether fitting that the high priest, who alone enters the holy of holies on the most sacred day of the year to atone for the sins of Israel, would stand in the presence of God in the heavenly holy of holies, clothed in the simple but most sacred garments of his priestly office. | | | The text of Zechariah 3 seems to indicate that Joshua has been clothed in the same sacred clothing that would be worn by the high priest when entering the holy of holies in the earthly temple. |

| | Urim and Thummim |
| | According to the teachings of Judaism, a small parchment with God's holy name, the Tetragrammaton, inscribed on it was slipped into an opening under the Urim and Thummim on the high priest's breast plate, which caused the breastplate to "glow" and thereby "transmit messages" from God to the Children of Israel. | | | The last agreed-upon reference to Urim and Thummim in the Bible is in Ezra and Nehemiah when, as the Temple and its worship practices are being restored, those who cannot prove their lineage as priests are commanded to wait for a priest with Urim and Thummim to identify them. | | | The earliest reference to Urim and Thummim in the Hebrew Bible is that Aaron carried them with him as High Priest. |

| | Mormonism Research Ministry - Articles - Temple "Worthiness" and the Bible |
| | Many Mormons fail to realize that the temple and its priesthood was a foreshadowing of the coming Great High Priest, Jesus Christ. | | | Faithful Latter-day Saints are encouraged to be married in Mormon temples; however, because worthiness is a requirement for entrance, non-Mormon parents are not allowed to be a part of one of the most blessed events in the lives of their children. | | | Evidence that temple Mormonism has nothing in common with the temple worship in Jerusalem comes from the fact that the temple's entire purpose was to meet the needs of unworthy sinners. |

| | Mormonism Examined |
| | The priests of the nation of Israel all came from the tribe of Levi and this order of priests is known as the Levitical priesthood, or sometimes as the Aaronic priesthood, from the name of Aaron, the first High Priest when Israel became a nation. | | | The Mormon claim is that the Book of Mormon has continued, and in some senses completed, the revelation from God contained in the Bible. | | | Lessons are drawn from the contrasts between the Levitical priests and the kind of priest we have in Christ. |

| | Indeed, the faithful Mormon wife of a lukewarm Mormon man will leave him behind in an inferior place while she goes on and is sealed to a more devout Mormon gentleman. | | | Mormonism, you should understand, is one of those religions which is peculiarly American. | | | It is one of those doctrines, shared by Fundamentalists and Mormons, that is believed independently of the Bible, though the Bible has been searched unsuccessfully for verses that seem to back it. |

| | Mormonism and the Bible: Christian Resource Centre (Bermuda) |
| | There are many serious objections to the claim of Joseph Smith and the LDS church that the Book of Mormon is divinely inspired Latter-day scripture supplemental to the Bible.* However, none are more significant than the numerous contradictions between Book of Mormon teaching and the Bible. | | | In contrast, it is clear from the Bible that only one individual at a time occupied the office of high priest under the Old Testament dispensation (see, for example Leviticus 21:10; Matthew 26:3; Hebrews 8:6-7). | | | (7) The Book of Mormon teaches that there were many high priests serving at the same time (Mosiah 11:11; Alma 13:9-10; 46:6,38; Helaman 3:25) among the Book of Mormon people who are described as Jewish immigrants from ancient Israel who "kept the law of Moses" (e.g., 2 Nephi 25:10; Jacob 4:5; Jarom 1:5). |

| | MORMONISM |
| | Brigham Young identifies God the Father as Adam, and Mormons teach that is was not through the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit but through the physical union of this immortal Adam-God and the mortal Virgin Mary that God the Son, "Jehovah" or Jesus Christ, was born in the flesh. | | | The subject of things doesn’t change the fact that the Mormons consider one of the gods as the main one, but the fact that their god is limited and is not the unique. | | | In 1978, however, Mormon Church president Spencer Kimball announced that he had received a new revelation, and that the Mormon Church was now free to ordain blacks. |

| | Letters to the Editor: March 2004 |
| | Mormons need to be shown that they should be looking for a church that unashamedly trusts in the Bible, the one God of the Bible and salvation through the finished work of Christ alone for their salvation. | | | The Mormons believe there are many gods and that the god we pray to was once a mortal on some other world, died, went to heaven and had to earn the right to become a god over our world. | | | The full teachings of Mormonism, such as becoming a god, are taught when they go on a mission (usually at 19) and attend the temple for their 'endowment.' Even then, many young men don't really understand the deeper doctrines of Mormonism. |

| | If the Mormons deny that the revelations were true, they must also deny that their former prophets were inspired by God, but if they admit this, the whole structure of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Utah) collapses. | | | Mormons used the same words we use when talking about their faith, but they have completely different meanings and definition. | | | The Mormons do not since their authority rests on the Aaronic and Melchizedek priesthoods which the Scripture clearly indicates was done away with Jesus. |

| | A&O - White - Temple Made With Hands replys and correspondence - SHIELDS |
| | All of the actions of the priests in the temple, including the one high priest, were mere shadows of the reality that God provided in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. | | | Likewise John in Revelations [sic] speaks of the saints as "priests to his [Christ's] God and Father" (1:6), and "priests to our God" (5:10); in the resurrection there "shall be priests of God and of Christ" (20:6). | | | Clearly the Mormon person must not be claiming to hold the same priesthood as spoken of in the Bible, as very few of the members of the LDS Church are Jewish in lineage! |

| | The Priesthood of Modern Polygamy Chapter 3 |
| | Despite the several references to the "Church" in these scriptures, Musser somehow believed that the presiding High Priest was not the President of the Church, but was actually a man serving as the head of an external Priesthood organization and Senior member of a Council of Friends. | | | All of the members of the proposed higher priesthood council that supposedly exists external to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are High Priest Apostles. | | | The highest priesthood office, they believe, is that of "High Priest Apostle" which is higher than the Apostleship held by members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. |
