THE SECOND BOOK OF SAMUEL (THE LAMANITE)
Chapter 7
Premium narration
1
Three days after the heavenly signs and Christ's earlier visit, the people assembled to worship and offer oblations, and Jesus again appeared in their midst. Seated among them, He instructed Samuel to choose twelve — six men and six women — to receive priesthood and to carry His teaching to the larger multitude and to the absent Nem of Corianton, each appointee then calling twelve more from every city. Christ then expounded the priesthood.
2
Men are ordained because the natural man must learn sacrifice through stewardship; women possess an inherent priesthood from the Mother in Heaven by virtue of creation as Eve, mother of all living, and are ordained, not given, that authority. Either may administer all ordinances. He outlined the sacraments: blessing infants, instructing children before accountability, baptism by water and fire, blessings at the age of agency, the broken bread and poured wine, and temple-sealed marriage with mutual washing and anointing producing Kings and Queens.
3
He commanded personal scripture study and doing, not merely hearing, the word.
