Summary:

Going over Priesthood in the scriptures and exposing some false traditions. YHWH has one church throughout time, and has not accepted Pagan ways. Joseph Smith taught that the ordinances are to be the same forever. Animal sacrifices are coming back. Restoration means going back to how it was before not creating something new. There are only two priesthoods not three. Patriarchal is not a priesthood but deals with father to son. Pharaoh not being able to have the priesthood has to deal with a curse with his lineage. Civil government will follow Torah in Zion. Melchizedek was not a reincarnation of Yeshua. Offices in the priesthood give people the authority to administer in the church. Elder is an office, not a division of the High Priesthood. High priests are men who have the High Priesthood. The apostles are to go to the non-believers not the church. Men who receive the Melchizedek priesthood have been sanctified. Offices in the church are voted in by those who they will govern. When the president of the church sins, he will be held accountable. Torah is eternal. Aaronic is given by the laying on of hands because they are the ones that do the work. Melchizedek is given by YHWH's voice because they are to be His voice. The fact that the High Priesthood has no outward ordinances shows us that the LDS / Brighamite temples are not of YHWH. The traveling apostles only have authority in the world. Once the traveling twelve set apart a bishop in the branch, the traveling apostles no longer have any authority there. Bishops in the LDS / Brighamite church get overwhelmed because they are manipulated into taking that office before they are ready for it. Being a bishop is a fulltime job and YHWH has stated they should be paid for it. Traveling apostles are to be missionaries to non-believers bringing converts to the church themselves. YouTube preachers asking for money are practicing priestcraft. Torah is about how YHWH wants us to love Him and others. Mysteries of YHWH teach us about Him. Ministering of angels is calling repentance. You are to vote for each member in the presidency. When a branch is not yet organized it can be done by revelation. The traveling apostles are to make the church bigger, not to run the church. The reason the church presidency and the traveling apostles have equal authority because they have the right to do the same things with different groups of people. Bishops are to be set apart by the president of the church. Offices are appendages of the High Priesthood. Brigham Young brags about not having the required priesthood to be the president of the church. The natural man does not like to take responsibility for their own sins. Repenting is doing restitution and not doing it again. On the rare occasion YHWH reveals someone's desires of someone's heart, it cannot be used in judgement. Two groups of authority, one for the church and one for missionary work. In Acts 15, James, the head of the church, made the decision not the apostles. Every officer of the church has a responsibility to call repentance. Scriptures become clear once you have let go of the false traditions of men. Restoration churches are not doing things according to YHWH's words. Repent and be baptized and follow Yeshua's example.
