What is the Priesthood and How Does it Work?

Показать описание

In this series, Firm Foundations, we examine history and doctrine pertaining to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We examine the LDS (Mormon) faith and culture in order to separate the facts from the fiction in LDS history and doctrine.

While the creators of the show are members of the LDS church, this show is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We strive to be independent critics, learning about and explaining Mormon culture and history, and calling for changes to ideas and assumptions we hold as members when the evidence doesn’t back up our long-held myths or ideas about the church, it’s policies, or it’s leaders.

What is the LDS Priesthood? How does it work? Who has it and why? In this episode we’ll delve into the Priesthood, how it is used to exert the power of God on earth, and answer the tough questions about the priesthood that have been troubling and prevalent in recent years.

In every video we carefully craft the scripts and fact-check our stories. We examine facts, scriptures, doctrinal sources, historical documents, modern surveys, psychology, and scientific data. Hannah, as the writer, interprets this information through her own lens, as do all individuals. This is why it is so important to us that we include information that is not always flattering to one party or another, and that we use empathy when examining individuals’ choices. Because we want you to do the same, we always include links to our sources below each video, so that viewers can dig deeper into the source material, ask questions, and find the truth. Check out our sources for this video below.
