1. What are the Seventy supposed to be, and what are they supposed to do?
- The seventy have been commanded to go into the city in pairs and preach the gospel. If the people accept the members of the seventy then they should stay and preach to the people of the city. The seventy are commanded to bless each house before they enter it. If the people of the city do not accept the members of the seventy then they are to leave the city, and tell the people, "the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you."
2. Luke 10 is current doctrine
- As members of the Church of Jesus we have other things that accompany the Bible and Book of Mormon. Namely we have the Articles of Faith, which are in the Pearl of Great Price. A of F 1:6 "We believe in the same organizations that existed in the primitive church." We still have the quorum of the seventy, and they still act in the same capacity as they did in the primitive church.
3. The Seventy
- The quorum of the seventy is grounded in scripture. It is an office that exists based on doctrine in Luke, Doctrine and Covenants, and is supported further by the Pearl of Great Price.
