aider: Restructured the essay introduction to provide more clarity and address the apparent contradiction in the scripture. # Aider chat conversation: ASSISTANT: To structure your essay, you can follow a standard essay structure: Introduction, Body, and Conclusion. Here's a proposed structure: 1. Introduction: Start with the verse you quoted and the question you posed. This will set the context for your essay. 2. Body: This can be divided into several sections: - Explanation of the verse: Here you can explain your understanding of the verse and the concept of priesthood power. - Contradiction and its resolution: Discuss the apparent contradiction and how you resolve it. - Supporting and opposing views: Present the quotes/references that support your view and those that oppose it. Discuss each view and how it relates to your understanding. - Your reasoning: Explain why you believe your conclusion is a viable answer. 3. Conclusion: Restate your question and the conclusion you've reached. Summarize the main points of your essay. Now, let's restructure your essay according to this plan. Here's how the first part (Introduction) could look: ```markdown pages/essays/rights-powers-principles.md <<<<<<< HEAD --- title: Rights, Powers and Principles --- --- > That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles righteousness. [D&C 121:36](https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/121#36) Given this verse, how can the hosts of darkness accomplish their misdeeds, and what role does the power of the priesthood play in this? --- I have always loved the verse quoted at the top of this page. It's very succinct and plainly worded. The Lord lays out a basic rule by which everything else (or nearly so) is built upon. However, there is an apparent contradiction in this scripture. How can the priesthood be absused if it cannot be misused? Why are safeguards necessary if it cannot be used inappropriately? ======= --- title: Rights, Powers and Principles: An Exploration --- --- > That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles righteousness. [D&C 121:36](https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/121#36) This verse, succinct and plainly worded, has always intrigued me. It lays out a basic rule upon which much else is built. Yet, it presents an apparent contradiction: If the priesthood cannot be misused, why are safeguards necessary to prevent its misuse? How can the hosts of darkness accomplish their misdeeds, and what role does the power of the priesthood play in this? This essay explores these questions. >>>>>>> updated ``` I'll wait for your approval before proceeding with the rest of the essay.
