The difference, Delirio...I will respond, Stick. :)<br /><br />The difference, Delirious, is that all along the prophets said that there would come a time when the priesthood would be given to all worthy men. That has never been even hinted at for women. I am not saying that if the prophet came out tomorrow and said otherwise that I wouldn't be excited. It would be an amazing announcement. All the more amazing since there has been no hint it COULD happen. I am not one of those people who say "The Lord works in mysterious ways." That is a mantra for people who want to do mysterious things in the Lord's name. I simply believe that prophets usually do something called prophesying. Things that happen do so because the Lord said they would.<br /><br />And I know you are only playing devil's advocate, and don't really believe the bilge a particular group is spewing forth. I just thought I'd answer the challenge! :DMr. Giggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641950854577035374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331748012223416907.post-66373934888387580872014-07-04T19:15:28.816-07:002014-07-04T19:15:28.816-07:00I agree with you, but let me play devil's advo...I agree with you, but let me play devil's advocate and explain their thinking. They believe that the only reason the Priesthood was extended to all worthy men was because the prophet went and asked God about this question. So in their mind, they think the Prophet hasn't really asked God if women should have the Priesthood. What they don't understand is that this isn't part of the way God's kingdom is run. Women have their own duties, and men have their's, and that is the way God's church is run. But can you see their thinking?Delirioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564398770468606675noreply@blogger.com
