In this report it was stated that John the baptist ate things that were forbidden by the Levitical Priesthood. This is untrue. John the baptist ate locust and honey.
Leviticus 11:22 – Even of these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
Matthew 3:4 – And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leather girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
Please explain what things John the baptist ate that were forbidden.
Not forbidden to the Jewish people,,, forbidden to the members of the Levitical priesthood.
as to the food there was nothing that was not allow that John the Baptize could eat as a priesthood of the Levitical . there is no record of him being a priest in the levitical order. even if his father was the high priest of that order.
Were all prophets priests? I gather in order to be a prophet one doesn’t need to be a priest. The greatest is John the baptist.
Is Mitt Romney a Morman Prophet? Given he is a prophet of the Morman faith, will he be expected by the Morman faith to save the country by altering the U.S.Constitution thus fullfilling Smith’s prophecy?
No, he is the subject of the Mormon Prophet and has sworn blood oaths to answer to and obey and support the prophet
above everything else in his life.
Are there many Morman Prophets? Does Romney answer to all Morman Prophets or is he assigned a Prophet? As President, Romney is told (by his prophet) to have Homeland Security detain all (less evolved) bible believing Christians then he would obey?
he only serves the current prophet, president if the church..prophet, seer and revelator..
good question doubt they would be so overt as to detain all Christians
What is the name of the president of the Morman church? What do you know about him?
Thank you. And I thank God he has placed you and the staff of Saints Alive in service.
