  •  Alan Young aider: Added sources that support the idea that the power of the priesthood runs the universe. # Aider chat conversation: ASSISTANT: To provide sources that support the idea presented in the Questions section, we need to modify the file `pages/essays/rights-powers-principles.md`. Here are the steps: 1. Add sources that support the idea that the power of the priesthood runs the universe under the Questions section. Here is the *edit block* for this change: ```markdown pages/essays/rights-powers-principles.md <<<<<<< HEAD What Mormon accepted sources support the idea that the power of the priesthood runs the universe? Add them below this paragraph. ======= What Mormon accepted sources support the idea that the power of the priesthood runs the universe? Here are some sources that support this idea: 1. [Doctrine and Covenants 88:13](https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/88.13?lang=eng#p13): "The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power of God who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things." 2. [Doctrine and Covenants 121:36](https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/121.36?lang=eng#p36): "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 of righteousness." 3. [Bruce R. McConkie, "The Doctrine of the Priesthood," Ensign, May 1982](https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/1982/05/the-doctrine-of-the-priesthood?lang=eng): "Priesthood is the very name of the power of God, and it is used to describe both the power itself and the system or organization by which it is administered. The priesthood is eternal; without beginning of days or end of years; it existed with God in the beginning; it is the power by which the worlds were made and is the power by which they will dissolve." >>>>>>> updated ```

You are neither a believer nor a disbeliever, but an observer seeking to understand and evaluate different perspectives. >>>>>>> updated ``` ```markdown pages/essays/rights-powers-principles.md <<<<<<< HEAD My question is in the first paragraph after the first quote. My conclusion is that, basically, "the power of the priesthood is separate from and co-existent with God," but I want to include my reasoning, but also highlight ideas and quotes that oppose this idea.

I am seeking to understand the nature of the power of the priesthood and its relationship with God. My conclusion is that, basically, "the power of the priesthood is separate from and co-existent with God," but I want to include my reasoning, but also highlight ideas and quotes that oppose this idea. I'm not stating flatly that my conclusion is true, but that I believe it's a viable answer. This conclusion is based on various sources within Mormonism that support this view, as well as my own interpretation and understanding of the scriptures. >>>>>>> updated ``` ```markdown pages/essays/rights-powers-principles.md <<<<<<< HEAD The first bullet point in this page ("the power of the priesthood runs the universe") needs supporting documentation. This is an accepted facet of mormonism, I still want to support the claim with references to accepted mormon sources. ======= The statement "the power of the priesthood runs the universe" is a fundamental concept in Mormonism. While it is widely accepted within the faith, it is important to substantiate this claim with references to accepted Mormon sources. These sources provide a theological basis for this belief and offer insights into how the power of the priesthood is understood and interpreted within the faith. By examining these sources, we can gain a deeper understanding of this complex and profound concept. >>>>>>> updated ```
