| | The Twelve Apostles in Mormonism—Part Two |
| | New Apostles are chosen to replace those who moved into the First Presidency which means that there are usually 15 living men who have been ordained to the LDS "Quorum of Twelve Apostles." Mormons claim that Peter, James and John made up the original First Presidency in the first century. | | | The Twelve Apostles, like the President of the LDS Church hold their offices until they die, unless they are called into the First Presidency. | | | Nor does it support their claim that they have a Quorum of Twelve Apostles which shows that they are the true church. |

| | Paul taught that the Apostles and Prophets were called "for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ," and he declared that these offices would endure "till all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God. | | | "The Twelve are a Traveling Presiding High Council, to officiate in the name of the Lord, under the direction of the Presidency of the Church, agreeable to the institution of heaven; to build up the church, and regulate all the affairs of the same in all nations."(9) | | | Perhaps President J. Reuben Clark said it best: "Some of the General Authorities [the Apostles] have had assigned to them a special calling; they possess a special gift; they are sustained as prophets, seers, and revelators, which gives them a special spiritual endowment in connection with their teaching of the people. |

| | The Twelve Apostles |
| | The Twelve are sustained as Prophets, seers, and Revelators. | | | Jesus Christ organized His Church by calling and ordaining twelve Apostles whom he endowed with great power and authority and then sent forth to bear witness to the world of his Gospel. | | | This is possible because each Apostle, when he is ordained, is given every power, every authority, and every key that pertains to the Church and the Gospel on earth. |

| | Among the many beliefs embraced by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormon), few are as pervasive as the perception that harmony prevails within the First Presidency and Quorum of Twelve Apostles, the tightly knit core of the church's governing hierarchy. | | | However, it should not be inferred that the overriding characteristic of the church, during this period or later, was conflict. | | | The following year saw his demotion from a position of seniority in the Quorum of the Twelve, a blow that would crush any possibility that he would one day succeed to the presidency of the church. |

| | In May 1835 an official church council voted that the Quorum of Twelve Apostles and First Council of Seventy "have particularly to depend upon their ministry for their support, and that of their families; and they have a right, by virtue of their offices, to call upon the churches to assist them." | | | Exempted from tithing himself, Page felt guilty about collecting tithing from others such as one Mormon who gave $4 which was "the tenth of all" the man and his impoverished family possessed. | | | After President Young's announcement of tithing delinquency, LDS general authorities gave sermons to remind church members that the law of tithing was "one tenth of all we possess at the start, and then ever after one tenth. |
