The Feminist “Priesthood Rebellion” is quite the transparent game that Satan has allowed to go too far, which has in turn made it lose its “legitimacy”.
The rebellion has no Biblical or BoM ground to stand on, because it cannot directly quote The Lord Jesus Christ to support it, whereas Jesus has/had repeatedly spoke directly on the subject of “male” and his relation to the subject of the Priesthood. Even in other epistles in the Bible, the subject is actually worn out, and beaten into the ground.
One thing the feminist rebellion lacks, is theologians that can support their cause with historical, linguistic, and cultural evidence, something that is needed when any subject is to be studied and a proper exegesis of the Scriptures is to be done.
I am posting now because of a comment I left on another weblog, of which I am expecting a firestorm, and if Satan is as good an enemy as he always has been, the firestorm should be a good one, unless he chooses to have my comment deleted, and not published, which would be the logical choice to keep the Word of God suppressed from the dialogue.
As I had stated, there is one Scripture that the rebellion gets shot down with from the starting line, and it is the one Scripture they will always ignore, or simply tear the page out of the Judeo-Christian Canon, in the hopes that it cannot be used to bring the slither of the agenda to a grinding halt.

The subject came up recently in our Elders Quorum comparing and contrasting the thoughts we have, and the thoughts we should be having during the Sacrament every week.
Of course, the usual answers came up on family, home, and work issues invading the mind during that time, and how thoughts of the atonement should be the norm as the bread and water is being distributed by the Aaronic Priesthood.
I decided to take it in another direction, which I will expound upon further here.
For one to go to the Temple, to be a part of an ordinance, or have performed on oneself an ordinance, one must hold a current “Temple Recommend”. To get that recommend, the church member needs to be interviewed by leadership, and be able to answer the questions asked, in a manner that proves them “worthy” to enter the Temple.
But there are 3 ordinances (sans Priesthood ordination) that are NOT performed in the Temple:
- Your Baptism
- Your conformation
- The Sacrament
Or are they?
(1 Corinthians 6:19-20) “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
(Mosiah 3:5) “For behold, the time cometh, and is not far distant, that with power, the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.”
(Doctrine and Covenants 88:15) “And the spirit and the body are the soul of man.”

“Corporate America” is the perfect example of how religion has affected “Big Business”.
When two or more businesses that sell the same product, or provide the same service, and need to get their message out on why their product or service is better, they use the standard mudslinging. The unique one, and usually the one who is actually the higher quality product or service, is the one that refrains from the name-calling, and simply sticks to the facts, and urges the consumer to decide on their own what is best for them. So it is with religion…
“Mormonism is a Cult”, is the most popular mud to be slung by the other so-called “denominations” within the Judeo-Christian Worldview, for example…
Pepsi & Coke live for competing against each other, but have you ever noticed what happens when a third sodapop enters the fray? Oh my goodness, Coke & Pepsi soon become friends against this evil rival carbonated beverage.
Here is the USA, Republicans and Democrats can’t go a day without fighting with each other, but as soon as a third-party candidate enters the arena, then all of that “partisanship” goes out the window, and they “gang up” to defend the pie they have split semi-equally for over a century.
So it is with religion…
Catholics and Protestants do a good job at bickering over who is going to Hell, and who is not, but the one thing they both magically seem to agree on is that “Mormonism is a cult”, Heaven forbid “those people” are going to get a piece of their pie.

I am a single Father of 8 Daughters. I have 4 elementary age children still at home...
Stop Lurking
By Guy Vestal on April 25, 2013
So the time has come to officially stop “lurking”, and start commenting. I have commented in two places over the past couple of years, but never really said anything to in-depth, so now that I have changed from investigator to member, I can actually say something at these Mormon Mommy Blogs that I read and skip out on.
Actually, the chances of anyone finding me are slim, but seeing as my website will go into the comment info, there is always that one in a million chance someone might click on it, so I better explain why I have links to, and why I have been lurking at, Mormon Mommy Blogs for a while now.
As a single Father, the only people that I have been able to relate to are the Mormon Mothers, because they are the only ones active in talking about home and family, and seeing as I have 8 Daughters, who else is going to be easy to relate to, but the women that my life has been centered around, in every breath I take.
I tell those that laugh and pity me that I would not know what to do with a boy if I had one, my best guess is to teach them to play baseball, burp, and scratch themselves when they itch, other than that, I have lost a lot of my identity as a male, not all of it, and maybe not so much lost it as added female to the point of the addition becoming the majority, so maybe the “guy in Guy” is just minding his p’s and q’s around the additional girl data I have collected and assimilated into over the years.
With having an empty hole in Family night, not having someone to put my arm around in the pew at Sacrament meeting, no one to shop with, cook and clean with, help the girls do homework with, go back and forth participating in Girl Scouts with, discussing how we are going to homeschool the kids with, the mommy blogs are about as close as I get to seeing what the Wife/Mother half of the equation thinks and feels about day to day life in a family home.
