I don't recall anyone saying it was a position in the Aaronic
Priesthood; rather, they said it was an office in the Aaronic

The keys stay with the position, not with the person. An elder's quorum
president, once released, is an elder. Same with a stake president being
a high priest.
However, a bishop remains a bishop, just without the active keys. It is
not just a position, but an office in the priesthood. And I've done

I wish I could find that bishop and ask him for a clarification.
I am sure he had (and read) the GHI, and I am also sure
that he would never intentionally have passed along

How about that? That's directly opposite to what a bishop
told me years back. Thanks for the clarification.

I concur with Larry. An ordained bishop,
I felt the same thing when I was released from my mission. It was an almost
palpable loss.

But because bishop is an ordination in the first instance, I believe that's why we
have the tradition of continuing to call ex-bishops by the honorific "bishop," but
it's a tradition and is certainly not required. But because of this, when I talk to

I give Stephen the point that I can't find a specific scripture showing
one will eventually be ordained a high priest in heaven. However, i still
hold to that point. However, I do have some quotes below.

I agree that the office of High Priest is not necessary in this life.
I've never said that. I've only said that it is necessary to be a god.
When we are set apart to be "kings and priests" the term "priest" means
"high priest". There is very strong symbolism in it. See my other email

That's not what I read in the scriptures. I read in Rev 1:6 and other
references that we must be made kings and high priests unto God the
Father.
