» Brian Tubbs - Your Question

Have the popular churches merely re-established the teachings of the priesthood that Jesus came against in order to maintain their control over the people?

This is a loaded question. Depends what you mean by "popular churches." Also depends on WHAT "teachings of the priesthood" you are referring to. I would say that Jesus Himself upheld many of the teachings of the Jewish priesthood. At one point, He said He came to "fulfill" the law, not "abolish" it. Remember that.

Still...have some churches abused the Gospel and/or substituted their own version of it? Yes.
