what is the need for to take blessings from him,he
is the one that takes money
from people to make god
forgive their sins ,to give
them blessings.as priests in
the past do . no direct
contact to god. TO TELL MY
SECRETS to others that
wouldn`t help me .that would
look at me as I have a very
bad notion. ISN`T DIRECT
REPENTENCE TO GOD enough to
WASH MY SINS up without
telling others my secrets. a
man like me make sins also
wait his permission to forgive
my sins

The term elders is used in various ways in the Bible. In many instances in the O.T. it has reference to the older men in a tribe, usually entrusted with the governmental affairs. Their age and experience made their counsel sought often. This was not necessarily a priesthood calling. Gen. 50: 7, Ruth 4: 2, Matt. 15: 2, and Acts 4: 5 are examples of this usage. There were ordained elders in the Melchizedek Priesthood in O.T. times, as in Ex. 24: 9-11 and Num. 11: 16. In the N.T., elders are mentioned as priesthood offices in the church (Acts 14: 23; 1 Tim. 5: 1, 17, 19; James 5: 14-15). The term ELDER as used in the N.T. is from the Greek "presybter." The detailed duties of the ordained elders in the Church today have been defined by revelation: *** 42 And to teach, expound, exhort, baptize, and watch over the church; 43 And to confirm the church by the laying on of the hands, and the giving of the Holy Ghost; 44 And to take the alead of all meetings. 45 The elders are to conduct the meetings as they are led by the Holy Ghost, according to the commandments and revelations of God. *** 44 And the elders of the church, two or more, shall be called, and shall pray for and lay their hands upon them in my name; and if they die they shall die unto me, and if they live they shall live unto me. 45 Thou shalt live together in love, insomuch that thou shalt weep for the loss of them that die, and more especially for those that have not hope of a glorious resurrection. 46 And it shall come to pass that those that die in me shall not taste of death, for it shall be sweet unto them; 47 And they that die not in me, wo unto them, for their death is bitter. 48 And again, it shall come to pass that he that hath faith in me to be healed, and is not appointed unto death, shall be healed. 49 He who hath faith to see shall see. 50 He who hath faith to hear shall hear. 51 The lame who hath faith to leap shall leap. 52 And they who have not faith to do these things, but believe in me, have power to become my sons; and inasmuch as they break not my laws thou shalt bear their infirmities. *** 2 But notwithstanding those things which are written, it always has been given to the elders of my church from the beginning, and ever shall be, to conduct all meetings as they are directed and guided by the Holy Spirit. *** 12 The high priest and elder are to administer in spiritual things, agreeable to the covenants and commandments of the church; and they have a right to officiate in all these offices of the church when there are no higher authorities present. *** Elder is the proper title given to all holders of the Melchizedek Priesthood. Thus an apostle is an elder in this sense, and it is proper to speak of members of the Quorum of the Twelve or the First Quorum of the Seventy by this title (cf. 1 Pet. 5: 1; 2 Jn. 1: 1; 3 Jn. 1: 1). |
