Why did these Jewish leaders not want the apostle teaching in Jesus name?

The Jewish leaders did not like Jesus. He taught and preached the true word of God. Many of the people were beginning to believe in Him and turning away from the Jewish leaders teachings. So they crucified Jesus and thought they had got rid of the problem. They could now go on teaching in their perverted ways. But what happens? Here the apostles of Jesus start teaching the ways of Jesus and even healed a few persons. This upset the Jewish leaders. They thought they had got rid of the problem and now it was manifesting itself again. The leaders told the apostles to stop teaching in Jesus' name. This is all they could do because the true cause, "the way" was so popular killing the apostles would be a big mistake. The apostles did not stop preaching, and this is a good lesson to whether we should obey man or God, when it come to the important things of God.

What is the biblical basis of the Sacrament of Holy Orders?

This is not complete, but some of the strongest passages. I have also not included passages which are more about apostolic succession although those are closely tied. The English word "priest" comes from the Greek word sometimes translated as presbyter. In the New Testament, the author would not want to use "priest" lest that be confused with the Levitical priesthood. John 20:22 - Jesus transfers authority to the apostles Matt 10:1 - Jesus gives authority and sends out the 12 apostles to preach and heal in his name Matt 16:16-19 - Jesus chooses Peter to hold the keys to the kingdom Luke 22:19 - Christ commands the apostles to "Do this in memory of me." Matt 28:19-20, Luke 24:47-49 - Jesus sends the apostles to evangelize the world John 21:15-17 - Jesus charges Peter with the task of tending Christ's flock 1 Cor 12:28, Eph 4:11 - The Church has many jobs, apostles, first… 1 Thess 5:12 - Respect those in the Church with authority over you 1 Tim 4:14 - Be true to your commission to the presbyterate (priesthood) 2 Tim 1:6-7 - Be fired up for your job as a presbyter Titus 1:5 - Make presbyters in each community


Can Mormons play poker?

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") can technically do whatever they want. An important teaching of the Church is agency - that each person can choose for themselves. While Church leaders preach against gambling, addictive behavors, and 'trying to get something for nothing', there is no specific rule against poker. Members of the Church can and do play poker and other games if it is not for gambling purposes (with chips rather than money, etc). Some Church members personally choose to avoid the temptation of poker and other games. To learn more about what Church leaders have said about gambling and poker, see the "Related Links" below.


What can you tell you about the Mormons?

I (or any other "Mormon") can tell you whatever you want to know about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church). You might want to look at http://www.mormon.org. This site outlines the basic beliefs of the Church and allows you to chat with a church representative if you have any questions. You can also locate a congregation near you to visit their worship services. Mormon worship services are open to all, and visitors are encouraged to ask any questions they have, either in Sunday School classes, to congregation leaders, or to individual members.
