HIRELING SHEPHERDS 

Priestcraft


 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Evidently, one could not choose worse word when translating to Spanish that this, to stay far from their correct understanding, and of the message that the skies want to give us.
Trickery = I deceive, fraud 
Priest = Priest. Craft = I Deceive, fraud, cunning, knack. 

 
 

Summarizing: " Priestcraft " could also be translated as:

  • "I deceive of the Priests" 
  • "Fraud of the Priests" 
  • "Knack of the Priests" 
  • "Cunning of the Priests" 
Undoubtedly, anyone of these translations is much clearer in our language that the one that was used, and he/she explains for itself to our understanding the doctrine of which one wants to speak.

Another form of having a definition of the doctrine, is the writings that you/they speak of this to travel.
 
 




















ALMA 1

3.Y this had walked among the town, preaching him what he said to be the word of God,.... declaring that all priest and teacher should end up being popular; and that they should not WORK WITH HIS HANDS, but rather they should BE SUSTAINED BY THE TOWN.

........

5... .así that began to sustain it and to give him money.

.......

12.Más Alma told him: there am here, THIS is THE FIRST TIME that the priestly fraud has been introduced among this town......
 
 




















Nefi gives us the first approach and the definition of this topic.

2 NEFI 26

20. And the heathens.... they have tripped because of the big of their trip stone, because they have built many churches;..... to be able to get rich and to smash the face of the poor.

...........

22. Y también existen combinaciones secretas, çAnd do secret combinations also exist? (to See Tithes Delinquency in the Church")

25... ..venid to me, you, all the ends of the earth, buy milk and honey without money and without price.

..........

27. Has He sent to somebody that doesn't participate of their salvation? There am here, I tell you that not, but rather He has given this free for all the men;

..........

29. He sends that there is not priestly fraud, because there am here, PRIESTLY FRAUD is THAT THE MEN PREACH AND GET UP TO themselves LIKE A LIGHT TO THE WORLD, WITH THE END OF being ABLE TO to OBTAIN LUCRE AND COMMENDATION OF THE WORLD; but these they don't look for the well-being of Zion.

30.He here, the Mr. it has prohibited these things; therefore, the Mr. God has given a commandment that all the men have charity, and this charity is love. And unless they have charity, they are not anything. Therefore, if they had charity, they would not support that the worker perished in Zion.

31. Plus the worker in Zion will work for Zion, because if they work for money, they will perish.
 
 


















ALMA 1

20 ...y because they were imparted one to other the word of God, without money and without price.

26. And when the priests left their work to impart the word of God to those of the town, these also left their works to hear the word... and the priest was not considered to if same for above that his listeners, because the preacher was not better than the one he listens, neither the teacher was something better than the pupil; so all were same and all worked, all man according to.....

ALMA 30

32. Then Alma told him; Your you know that we don't take advantage of the work of this town; because there am here, I have worked, from the beginning of the government of the judges, with my own hands for my support, in spite of my many trips for the country to declare the word of God to my town.

33. And in spite of the a lot of work that I have made in the church, I have never received not even a senine for my work; neither neither none of my siblings, but when occupying the judicial seat; and in this case, we have only received according to the law for our time.

34. So that we don't receive anything for our work in the church. That it benefits us to work in the church, apart from declaring the truth to be able to be happy in the joy of our siblings?
 
 

FACTS 20

33. Neither silver neither I pray neither dress of anybody has coveted.

34. Before you know that for what has been necessary to me and those that are with me, these hands have served me.

35. In everything I have taught you that, working this way, it should be helped the needful, and to remember Mr. Jesus' words that he/she said: more blessed it is to give that to receive.

1 TEAS. 2

9. Because you remember, siblings, of our work and fatigue; as working at night and by day, for not being grievous, to none of you, we preach you the gospel of God.

2 TEAS. 3

8. neither we ate of pail the bread of anybody, but rather we work with desire and it tires day and night, for not being grievous to none of you.
 
 

The leaders of the church, do the general authorities, Work as he/she made it Alma and their siblings who presided over The church with their own hands? or do they Work as he/she made it Pablo being apostle and not to be a load for the church? Don't they receive their support of the church? Cannot they work with their own hands? Are they better than Alma and Pablo? Has the system of God in these things changed? Is it more modern? Where that revelation that indicates this change is? Will a mystery that we won't be able to know, be like in the Catholic church?
 
 






















2 NEFI 26

31. Plus the worker in Zion will work for Zion, because if they work for money, they will perish.

ALMA 1

... ..y if the priestly fraud was imposed on this town, this would be in its whole destruction
 
 

 JUAN 10

12. Plus the salary earner, and that he/she is not the shepherd, of who they are not own the sheep, you see come to the wolf and he/she leaves the sheep and he/she escapes, and the wolf snatches the sheep and the dispersed one.

13. So the salary earner escapes, because it is paid a salary, and he doesn't care the sheep.
 
 

JUDAS

11. Oh of them! Because they have followed the one on the way to Cain, and they rushed for lucre in the error of Balaam, and they perished in the insurrection of Coré.

12 these are stains that participate in your fraternal foods, grazing to themselves without fear some. They are clouds without water, taken of here it stops there for the winds. Trees of withered fruits as in autumn, without fruit, twice dead and eradicated.
 
 




















2 NEFI 10

5. More by reason of the priestly frauds and iniquities, those of Jerusalem will harden their cervix against Him, so that it is crucified.

6. So, by reason of their iniquities, he/she will come on them destructions, hungers, pests and spill of blood; and those that are not destroyed will be dispersed among all the nations

.
 
 


















3 NEFI - CAP. 16.

1O.Y the Father that tells you do send this way: the day in that the heathens sin against my gospel, and be raised in the pride of their hearts on all the nations and envelope all the towns of the earth, and be full with all kinds of lies, and of deceits, and of wickedness, and of everything I do generate of hypocrisy, and murders, and priestly frauds, and fornications, and of secret abominations; and if they make all these things, and do they reject the fullness of my gospel, am there here, does the Father say, will I MOVE AWAY THE FULLNESS DE MY GOSPEL of among them"?? What church does he have The Fullness?
 
 

MIQUEAS 3

Do 11.Sus bosses judge for recompense, do their priests only teach for pay and do their prophets predict for money, and do they still lean on in the Mr. saying": the is not Mr. among us? No wrong can come on us."
