Here is a thought I’ve had: Can 11 year old girls (turning 12) enter the temple? Yes. Can 11 year old boys (turning 12) enter the temple? No. Unless they first enter into the covenant of the priesthood. Can adult women enter the temple to be endowed? Yes. Can adult men? No. Unless they enter into the covenant of the Melchizedek priesthood. It seems to me that women, by their divine nature, can enter the Holy Temple where men cannot without first being sanctified by entering into the oath and covenant of the priesthood.

Lovely way to look at the complementary roles of men and women in the priesthood!

Wow, the stuff about the 2 trees representing the roles of men and women was mind-blowing.

This is amazing! Thank you! I've struggled with this concept for so many years, and your video is helping make it clearer to me.

Jasmin, thank you for such a concise and complete overview of priesthood. I wish more people spent the time to understand it. It took me a while to learn and understand it. I recognize all the sources you are pulling from and it's obvious that you have put in the time. Many of the resources are not very old so now is the best time for everyone to learn about what the priesthood is and understand it. Valerie Hudson's explanation of two roles two trees for me was so important. Without it I think it's hard to fully understand and appreciate the gender roles. It helped me to understand that men and women both have priesthood they just exercise it differently because they have different roles and to understand better the roles of men and women and just how important women's role is. I think it's awesome that God taught an overview of the plan of salvation and the roles of the two genders with a simple teaching about two trees in the garden of Eden.

Have listened to several of your videos so far…all excellent, well done, detailed, accurate, informative, etc…keep up the great work! There’s so much misunderstanding within the church regarding these matters.

Another fantastic video! Thank you!

Absolutely loved this. Thank you for sharing!

I don't know why but I always understood these concepts. It is comforting to see them outlined now and confirm what I always thought.

I am so impressed with all of your videos, which is to say your knowledge and understanding of these holy concepts. This one is particularly excellent.

This lesson was absolutely beautiful . This could be a great help to me .

Yesssss!!!!! This is so spot on!

Really excellent points. Thank you.

I love this so much ❤

Notice that in all the scriptural accounts of the creation that only Adam is commanded not to partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Only after that is Eve mentioned. Later on it is Adam that is told, "I have forgiven thee thy transgression in the Garden of Eden." For some reason the sequence is different in the temple.

So profound...

Where were 'baptisms for the dead' performed in the First Century of our Common Era; for they clearly were not permitted in Herod's Temple?

Eve received the Holy Temple Priesthood garments thus she was a priestess.

I think God Yahweh had Spiritual/Mental reason to Keep this position Male oriented for his own purpose, we are Different Mentally/Emotionally ...+

If the women of the Church do not have priesthood power and authority then all of ordinances for women in the temple have no recognition from God. Ergo by definition (if the LDS religion is true) women must have priesthood power and authority *or* the ordinances of washing and annionting, and the endowment itself (which they - like men - are commanded to received) are not valid.

If you need a temple, garments, rituals, ordinances, oaths, laws, temple recommends to enter the kingdom of God, then you do not have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. You dilute Jesus Christ in your religion. All you need is Jesus Christ, He is all sufficient, the true Jesus. Hebrews 10:20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh. The Christian faith is believing and having faith in Jesus Christ and you will receive His rewards, you must trust Him. The Priesthood belongs to Jesus and Jesus only, nothing was given to the Mormon Church regarding any keys or priesthood. Jesus Christ is our High Priest, 1 Peter 2:5 You also as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices to God through Jesus. 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people. The priesthood belongs to Gods people, not those who deny Christ, no mention of Mormons, there are no scriptures saying the priesthood belongs to the Mormons.

No one will ever share the priesthood with women . Any woman who tries to push it will be dis fellow shipped at least if not ex communicated .
