Betrifft: HLT-Patriarch

> meinst du, dass ich nicht weiss, was ein patriarch ist? mein onkel ist beides. in der schweiz braucht es nun mal einen prÃ¤sidenten einer institution hier.

Ich frage noch mal: Bist Du Dir sicher, dass Du und Dein Onkel wirklich Mitglieder der "Kirche Jesu Christi der Heiligen der Letzten Tage" seid?

Die Organisatonsstruktur, die Du beschreibst, gibt es nÃ¤mlich in dieser Gemeinschaft nicht.

Kleine Literaturempfehlung: LuB 124:91 i.V.m. Times and Seasons, Jg.6, Nr.1, S.921f.

Damit Du nicht erst lange suchen musst:

91. Und weiter, wahrlich, ich sage euch: Mein Knecht William soll anstelle meines Knechtes Hyrum zum Ratgeber meines Knechtes Joseph bestimmt, ordiniert und gesalbt werden, damit mein Knecht Hyrum das Amt im Priestertum und als Patriarch Ã¼bernehmen kann, das ihm von seinem Vater durch Segnung und als sein Recht bestimmt worden ist;

But does not the Patriarch stand in the same relationship to the church, as Adam did to his family, and as Abraham and Jacob did to theirs? No. This is another mistake which is made by our junior, and one that may be very easily made inadvertantly. Adam was the (natural) father of his posterity, who were his family and over whom he presided as patriarch, prophet, priest, and king. Both Abraham and Jacob stood in the same relationship to their families. But not so with Father Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, or William Smith. They were not the natural fathers of the church, and could not stand in the same capacity a had been none to bless for generations past, according to the ancient order, they were ordained and set apart for the purpose of conferring patriarchal blessings, to hold the keys of this priesthood, and unlock the door, that had long been closed upon the human family: that blessings might again be conferred according to the ancient order, and those who were orphans, or had no father to bless them, might receive it through a patriarch who should act us proxy for their father, and that fathers might again be enabled to act as patriarchs to their families, and bless their children. For like all other ordinances in the church, this had been neglected; and must needs be restored. But Father Joseph Smith was not president of the church, nor the president’s counsel. Nor was Hyrum Smith either president of president’s counsel. He was once counsel but when he was ordained patriarch he gave it up and another was ordained in his stead, (Wm. Law) and in all probability if Br. William magnifies his calling he will not be able henceforth to attend to the duties of an apostle; but officiate in the same capacity in regard to blessing as his brother Hyrum did. Not as president of the church; but as patriarch to it.
