Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

D&C 107

 The Lord instructs - 

"There are, in the church, two priesthoods, namely, the Melchizedek and Aaronic, including the Levitical Priesthood."  (Doctrine and Covenants 107:1)

Of the Aaronic Priesthood, it - 
 
"...has power in administering outward ordinances."  (Doctrine and Covenants 107:14)

In my mind, the difference between Aaronic and Levitical (which is part of the Aaronic priesthood), Aaronic includes the office of priests in administering outward ordinances and covenants, the Levitical is in reference to offices of deacons and teachers who serve in priesthood duties.
