Summary:

Going over the responsibilities of the Aaronic Priesthood. Deacons are like police. Deacons can be women. JST brings out that women are not to rule which shows how the Community of Christ is not keeping with what Joseph Smith restored. Women can teach, call repentance and most important bring people to Yeshua. Women are symbolic of the church, and the church is not to rule it's head, and the heads are men. Women being deacons is symbolic of what mothers do with their children. Deacons are to be married to one of the opposite sex. How deacons can have children goes along with the minimum age of 25 Hebrew years or 24 Greek years. Symbolism of deacons being married goes with how the church is married to Yah. Deacons are to teach with boldness. With women being able to be deacons, and not other offices, goes against the lawless show The Chosen. We should be bringing out the doctrinal issues. Deacons are to have no part of the sacrament. Offices in the church are done by vote of those who it effects. LDS church have missionaries go on missions to early. Missionaries do not have to be married as taught in 1 Corinthians 7. Teachers are to teach along with other duties. Both Aaronic and Melchizedek are in the Book of Mormon. Teachers are to help members to like each other and do their duty. Aaronic priesthood is basically a flat organization. The fact that only elder is mentioned and not high priest is showing how elder and high priest are the same. Teachers are to have no part of the sacrament. Priesthood was not a big focus in the Book of Mormon. Law of Moses is the punishment that was added to Torah because of grievous sins committed at Siani. Zadok's descendants will be doing the Torah animal sacrifices when they are restored. Priests are to teach, call repentance, baptism and sacrament along with ordinations. Melchizedek Priesthood was taken away from most members not all members at mount Siani. Priests being in-charge unless there was an elder, goes with how Joseph Smith was an elder when the church was organized. Bishop is to be ordained by the first presidency. The church structured changed as the person who was to be in-charge meet the age requirement. The bishop of the branched is decided by vote. We are not to have a king that behaves like the kings of the pagans. The office of a bishop is a full time job, and the church is to pay him for his time. Bishops are the judges at court cases. Members are to keep the leaders in check according to YHWH's word. Tithing is to primarily stay in the branch just as Torah teaches to do. The sacrament is a renewal of the covenant you made before you were baptized. With the Aaronic priesthood being the only priesthood with the outward ordinances shows that the LDS / Brighamite temple ceremony is not of YHWH Elohim because they claim it's done with the Melchizedek priesthood despite the fact it's an outward ordinance. The inward ordinances are baptism of Fire and baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Melchizedek priesthood is YHWH's voice, the Aaronic priesthood is YHWH's hands. The Holy Spirit is Torah. There is only one presidency of the Aaronic priesthood per branch for all offices not three. Literal descendants of Aaron have a right to be the bishop if they meet the other requirements. The presidency of the church is to ordain bishops. We are not to command those who is above us, we are to keep them accountable. Commandments and mysteries are to come from the head. Leaders should be open to constructive criticism. If it is YHWH's church we should be doing how He specified it is to be done.
